Core Configurations & Applications

Hardware Specifications

  • Engineered Sacrificial Cut (Anti-Snap): Features a precision-machined sacrificial cut designed to break off cleanly at a designated point during snapping attempts, keeping the internal core and cam securely locked inside the door mortise.
  • Multi-Component Anti-Drilling Assembly: The housing is fitted with a Φ1.5 x 16 mm anti-drill pin per side. The brass plug is reinforced with a Φ2 mm chrome steel ball, two Φ2 x 8 mm anti-drill pins, and one hardened bearing steel pin.
  • 6-Pin Calibrated Tumbler Architecture: The key pin stack contains 3 mushroom pins, 2 straight pins, and 1 hardened steel pin, working against 4 spool pins, 1 double-groove pin, and 1 hardened driver pin. Designed with a 0.48 mm pin step and lengths of 4.75, 5.23, 5.71, and 6.19 mm.
  • Vertical Key Platform: Utilizes a classic vertical Yale-style keyway. Supplied with 5 long-neck nickel silver keys featuring H5 square handles, laser-encoded bitting, and an ownership key registration card.
  • DIN Standard Cam & Clutch: Integrates a powder metallurgy iron-based clutch and cam compatible with standard European mortise lockcases.

Primary Application Environments

  • Residential Exterior Doors: Applicable for UPVC, composite, and timber doors requiring certified 1-star anti-snap protection.
  • Commercial Building Entrances: Suitable for perimeter entry points requiring physical protection against cylinder snapping and drilling techniques.
  • Institutional Facilities: Fully compatible with Master Key Systems for structured access control across multi-door facilities.

Optional Configurations & Key Systems

Optional Hardware Features

Based on project specifications, the following options can be added:

  • Anti-Bumping Protection: Optional internal pin and spring configuration.
  • Double-Entry Function: Optional mechanism allowing external key operation while an internal key is engaged in the lock.
  • Single-Lock with Knob Variant: Available as an oval copper knob variant with iron knob shaft upon request.

Keying Platforms

  • Keyed Different (KD): Each lock cylinder operates with an independent set of keys and registration card.
  • Keyed Alike (KA): Multiple cylinders operate with a single key.
  • Master Key System (MKS): Multi-tier master key configurations for facility management.

Frequently Asked Questions

The cylinder features a precisely engineered cut across the front section of the brass body. If forced snapping force is applied to the exterior overhang, the cylinder breaks cleanly at this cut line, leaving the central locking cam and remaining pin stacks intact inside the door to block entry.

The brass plug includes one Φ2 mm chrome steel ball, two Φ2 x 8 mm hardened anti-drill pins, and one hardened bearing steel pin, designed to resist high-speed drill bits.

The cylinder comes with 5 nickel silver vertical keys with an H5 square handle profile (Yale keyway) and an ownership key card for authorized duplication management.

Yes, the 6-pin tumbler mechanism supports Master Key Systems. Contact our engineering department with your keying matrix for specifications.
