Cylinder locks

Cylinder locks can be used on uPVC wood, composite or timber doors. These locks are made up of two components that are the lock that is activated by the deadbolt and/or latch and the cylinder that manages it. The design allows both components to be changed separately if necessary. This is useful in the event that one of the components is not functioning correctly or if you would like to upgrade to a higher security cylinder.

The lock cylinder is the part that holds the key and it has a series of pins within. When a key that is correct is put in into the lock, the notches on the key push the pins to different levels so that they can rotate to unlock the door.

Mullions are available in metal, wood or plastic. They can be used in conjunction with mortise or rim lock exit devices. They improve the security of double doors and provide an easier exit than rods that are vertical. They are also great for doors that get frequent use, such as doors that are rated for fire and hurricane.

During construction, a mullion is likely to be joined to the head of the frame, and then fixed to the ground. Some mullions can be removed. This makes them an ideal choice for commercial applications where the location of doors may change frequently. If a business owner wishes to construct a back entrance for employees then they can take out the mullion and allow larger furniture to move through.

Conventional mullions require the removal of bolts or screws from fittings which are set into the floor and top of the door frame. This is a laborious and time-consuming task that usually requires two people. Over time, repeated removals can cause the fittings and mullions to become loose.
