These handles can use a single spindle (inline) or independently from both sides using two offset spindles or inline (pad). They are usually employed on UPVC double glazed doors.

Euro cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins, with internal and external doors generally needing different levels of security.

The choice of cylinder you choose is vital. It's dependent on the type of use your doors and handles will receive. For instance, exterior doors require a higher security cylinder, while doors inside can be secured using a standard cylinder.
