Internal and external doors require different levels of security.
Selecting the right cylinder for your needs is vitally important; this is dependent on how your doors and handles are utilized.

Certain cylinders are equipped with additional features that increase security, such as anti-drill or anti bump properties.
To make sure that the euro cylinder is of the right size for your door, it should be measured accurately. The cylinder should be measured from the hole for fixing screws in the middle to the other end of the cylinder and the thumb turn if you have one.
