Product Overview
The euro profile cylinder with tailpiece is a DIN-profile lock cylinder in the Euro Profile Cylinders category, built for door locks, padlock systems and access-control hardware that need a shaft instead of a standard cam. It carries a 60 mm connecting bar, brass housing and plug, and 6 active plus 6 passive pins in the standard build. The cylinder meets the EN 1303 shaft cylinder format and accepts vertical or dimple keys.
Buyers specify this shaft cylinder euro profile when a standard cam cannot reach the locking mechanism. The extended connecting bar transfers rotation to the lock body, so the cylinder sits in the door or housing while the mechanism stays where the design puts it. Lengths A and B are both 30 mm as standard, with 30-80 mm available to order.
Key Features
- 60 mm connecting bar: reaches locking mechanisms that sit away from the cylinder face, so a standard cam is not needed.
- Brass housing and plug: both parts are machined from brass, which holds tolerances through repeated key cycles.
- 6 active and 6 passive pins: the standard pin stack can be ordered from 4 to 7 pins to match the security level.
- Vertical and dimple key types: one cylinder family covers both key styles, so a project can keep a single key system.
- KA, CE, MK and GMK keying: keyed-alike, central, master-key and grand-master-key systems can be built from the same body.
- Optional anti-drill, anti-pick and anti-bump protection: each layer is added at order, so the buyer pays only for the threat level the site needs.
- Modular option: the cylinder can be supplied in a modular build for projects that plan later changes to the locking layout.

Industrial Applications
- Euro profile cylinder for door locks: locksmiths and door-set assemblers fit the shaft cylinder where the lock case needs a bar drive; the 60 mm connecting bar reaches the mechanism and the 30 mm A/B lengths keep the profile flush.
- Euro profile cylinder for padlock systems: padlock makers use the brass plug and 6-pin stack to build keyed-alike padlock ranges; KA and MK keying let one key open a full padlock set.
- Euro profile cylinder for industrial cabinets: cabinet and enclosure builders specify the cylinder with connecting bar for control cabinets and tool stores; the optional anti-drill plug protects the keyway on outdoor installations.
- Euro profile cylinder for access control: access-control integrators pair the modular option with the shaft drive so the cylinder can be swapped or upgraded without replacing the lock body.
- Euro profile cylinder for shutter and grille locks: shutter fabricators use the extended bar to reach the locking rail behind the profile; matt chrome or satin nickel finishes suit exposed exterior hardware.
Key Advantages
The 60 mm connecting bar removes the need for a separate adapter when the lock body sits behind the door face, which cuts one part from the bill of materials and one alignment step from assembly.
Brass in the housing and plug keeps the pin chambers dimensionally stable, so the 6-pin stack holds its keying over repeated cycles instead of loosening in a zinc body.
Keying is decided at order, not after: KA, CE, MK and GMK builds come from the same cylinder, so a project can expand from one door to a master-key system without changing the hardware specification.
Security options are layered rather than bundled. A buyer who needs anti-drill protection on the plug but not anti-snap bars does not pay for both, and the EN 1303 shaft cylinder format keeps the base unit compliant either way.
How to Choose the Right Configuration
| Standard 30/30 mm with 60 mm bar | suits most door locks and cabinets where the mechanism sits at the standard offset; confirm A and B before ordering. |
|---|---|
| Extended 30-80 mm A/B | for thick doors or recessed lock bodies; measure from the cylinder face to the cam or bar entry point. |
| 6-pin KA build | best for single-occupancy doors and padlock sets where one key opens one lock. |
| MK or GMK keying | for buildings and padlock ranges where a master key must open every cylinder; plan the hierarchy before the order is placed. |
| Anti-drill and anti-pick options | specify for exterior doors, outdoor cabinets and any cylinder exposed to the public face. |
| Modular build | choose where the lock layout may change later, so the cylinder can be re-keyed or replaced without changing the door hardware. |
Why Choose Us
We quote the cylinder configuration that fits your lock body, not a catalogue default, so the A/B lengths, bar length and pin count are confirmed before the order goes to the line. Ask for the euro profile cylinder with tailpiece price against your annual volume and keying plan.
We build to the keying schedule you supply, including KA, CE, MK and GMK hierarchies, and we keep the pin stacks matched across batches. Buyers sourcing from a euro profile cylinder with tailpiece supplier China can request samples against their own lock bodies before committing to volume.
Spare parts and replacement cylinders are quoted from the same specification, so a re-order matches the original build. Technical questions on the connecting bar, cam type or fixing screw go to the sales engineer who quoted the job.
Factory Strength
Cylinder production runs in-house from brass machining through pin stacking, key cutting and assembly. Housings and plugs are turned and drilled on the same site, which keeps the pin chamber tolerances matched between the two parts. Each unit is built to the order’s keying schedule, then checked for key rotation, pin engagement and bar fit before it is packed. Export orders ship with the keying plan and finish marked on the carton, and the sales team handles documentation for markets across Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
Quality Control
Incoming brass is checked for dimension and surface before machining. In-process checks follow the pin chambers and keyway through drilling and assembly, and every cylinder is turned with its key before packing to confirm the pin stack and bar alignment. Units built with anti-drill or anti-pick options are checked against those features on the same line.
- Incoming brass inspection for dimension and finish
- In-process checks on pin chambers and keyway
- Key rotation and pin engagement test on every unit
- Final check of connecting bar fit, finish and keying against the order schedule
Packaging & Delivery
Cylinders are packed with their keys and fixing screws, labelled with the keying code and finish, then cased for export. Orders ship against the confirmed keying schedule; the buyer supplies the keying plan, delivery marks and any documentation required for import. Lead time is confirmed at order because keying and finish options change the production run.
- Each cylinder packed with keys and M5 fixing screw
- Cartons labelled with keying code and finish
- Keying schedule supplied by the buyer before production
- Shipping documents and marks confirmed at order
FAQ
What is the difference between this cylinder and a standard euro profile cylinder?
This is a shaft cylinder euro profile: instead of a standard cam it uses a 60 mm connecting bar to drive the locking mechanism. The housing, plug and pin stack follow the same euro profile format, so it fits the same door preparation.
Can I get the euro profile cylinder with tailpiece specifications for my lock body?
Yes. Send the A and B dimensions, the required connecting bar length and the cam type, and we will confirm the build against the euro profile cylinder with tailpiece datasheet. A and B are 30 mm standard with 30-80 mm available.
How many pins does the cylinder have?
The standard build has 6 active and 6 passive pins. Both can be ordered from 4 to 7 pins depending on the security level and keying system.
Can the cylinder be used for door locks and padlock systems?
Yes. The euro profile cylinder for door locks uses the bar to reach the lock case, and the same body is used for padlock systems where a shaft drive is required. Confirm the bar length against your mechanism before ordering.
Is the cylinder suitable for industrial cabinets and access control?
The euro profile cylinder for industrial cabinets is a common build, and the modular option suits access control where the cylinder may be changed later. Anti-drill and anti-pick options can be added for exposed installations.
What is the euro profile cylinder with tailpiece price and how do I get a quotation?
Price depends on A/B lengths, bar length, pin count, keying and finish. Send your specification and annual volume and we will quote. Sample orders can be arranged before volume production.
What is your MOQ and lead time?
MOQ and lead time depend on the keying schedule and finish options, since MK and GMK builds take longer to set up. We confirm both in the quotation so there is no change after the order.
Do you support OEM keying and master-key systems?
Yes. KA, CE, MK and GMK keying are built to the schedule you supply, and key material can be brass as an option. Send the hierarchy and we will confirm the pin stacks before production.
How is the cylinder packed and shipped?
Each cylinder ships with its keys and M5 fixing screw, labelled with the keying code and finish. Export cartons are marked to your instructions, and shipping documents are confirmed at order.
