Applications of Cylinder Lock Series

Industrial cylinder locks come in wide varieties, from keyed different units for single-door applications to multi-cylinder systems with the same key opening all locks on a system. When selecting which cylinder lock is suitable for an application, factors like power requirements, space availability, operating pressure, and environment must all be taken into consideration; automatic or manual locking is preferred if possible.

Cylinder systems provide essential protection for building occupants, especially during the loading and unloading of trucks or other vehicles.

Cylinder locks feature a pin tumbler design, in which pins are arranged in pairs along the length of the lock. When an appropriate key is inserted and turned, these pins will be pushed to different heights.

Depending on the model, cylinder locks have various pin numbers. These can be adjusted so users have access to an extensive array of settings when creating their lock.

Cylinder locks can be installed into either the exterior surface of a door or they can be concealed within its mortise. Both options offer strong security and can be utilized for entrance doors, gates, and padlocks alike. Furthermore, cylinder locks come in various shapes and sizes to meet specific application needs.

Working Principles of Cylinder Lock Series

The cylinder lock, or lever lock as we know it today, dates back to ancient Egypt. It works by trapping the bolt inside itself (as ChristofferPolhem did with his Scandinavian padlock). To open, you need to raise each pin to exactly the right height in order to pull it out of its slot and slide in the bolt itself.

In the 1800s, Linus Yale Senior refined Egyptian design by adding two pin pairs in each chamber. To help prevent pins from rising too high without a key being inserted, he added springs above each pair for added security.

A shear line is a point where the plug and cylinder meet, and if pins are properly aligned when the correct key is inserted, they will straddle this shear line to open the lock.
