Product Overview
The Euro Profile Double Cylinder is a brass lock cylinder in the Euro Profile Cylinders category, made for doors that need a key on both sides and a standard DIN profile footprint. It carries the DIN EN 1303 rating, uses a 6-pin core with 6 active and 6 passive pins, and is built from brass in the housing, plug and key. Both the A and B sides start at 30 mm, with 30-80 mm available to order.
That range covers most wooden door thicknesses without a custom build, and the double-key format suits entrance doors, interior doors and shared access points where both sides must be locked or unlocked by key. Buyers who need a brass euro cylinder for a standard mortise lock can specify the length, finish and protection options against one datasheet.
Key Features
- DIN EN 1303 rating: the cylinder meets a recognised European lock standard, so it can be specified into projects that ask for a certified profile cylinder.
- Brass housing and brass plug: both load-bearing parts are brass, which holds tolerances better than die-cast bodies over years of key turning.
- 6 active and 6 passive pins: the standard pin stack gives a working key count for most buildings, with 4-7 pins available when a project needs a different level.
- Double key-key function: a key is needed on both sides, which suits entrance doors and shared doors where neither side should be left open.
- Optional anti-drill protection: a hardened insert in the housing and plug can be added when the door faces a public or semi-public side.
- Optional anti-pick and anti-bump protection: these add resistance to manipulation attempts, useful on ground-floor and street-facing doors.
- 30-80 mm A and B lengths: one product family covers thin interior doors and thicker entrance doors without changing the lock case.
- Five finishes: brass, polished brass, satin nickel, polished chrome and matt chrome let the cylinder match the door hardware on a single order.

Industrial Applications
- Euro profile double cylinder for wooden doors: joinery shops and door manufacturers fit it into timber entrance and interior doors, where the 30-80 mm A and B lengths cover leaf thicknesses from thin interior doors to solid entrance doors.
- Brass euro cylinder for residential doors: housebuilders and property managers use the double-key format on apartment entrance doors, with anti-pick and anti-bump options on ground-floor units.
- DIN EN 1303 double cylinder for commercial doors: facility managers specify it for office and retail doors where a certified cylinder is required and master-keying across a floor is needed.
- Euro profile double cylinder for apartment buildings: landlords and housing associations order keyed-alike and master-key sets so one key opens a tenant door and the building entrance, with GMK available for multi-block sites.
- Euro profile double cylinder for sale to distributors: lock wholesalers and hardware traders stock the 30-80 mm range in several finishes to serve local builders and locksmiths.
Key Advantages
- Brass in the housing, plug and key keeps the pin chambers and keyway stable through repeated use, so the cylinder holds its turning feel instead of loosening after a few thousand cycles.
- The DIN EN 1303 rating gives specifiers a standard number to put in a door schedule, which shortens approval on commercial and multi-unit residential projects.
- One length family from 30 to 80 mm on each side means a distributor can cover most wooden door stock with fewer SKUs and still fill a specific door thickness from stock.
- Optional anti-drill, anti-pick and anti-bump protection can be added per order, so a buyer pays for the protection level the door actually needs rather than a fixed specification.
- KA, CE, MK and GMK keying let a single order serve a single door or a whole building, which reduces the number of cylinder variants a project manager has to track.
How to Choose the Right Configuration
| Standard 30/30 mm, 6-pin, no options | interior wooden doors and low-exposure doors where a certified brass cylinder is enough. |
|---|---|
| 30-80 mm A/B with anti-drill housing and plug inserts | entrance and street-facing doors, especially on ground floors. |
| Anti-pick and anti-bump added | doors in public or semi-public buildings where manipulation attempts are a realistic risk. |
| KA or CE keying | single doors or small suites where one key should open a defined set of doors. |
| MK or GMK keying | apartment blocks, offices and multi-building sites that need a master-key hierarchy. |
| Modular version | sites that expect re-keying or cylinder replacement without changing the lock case. |
| Finish choice | match existing door hardware; satin nickel and matt chrome suit modern lever sets, polished brass suits traditional doors. |

Factory Strength
Cylinder production runs in-house from brass component machining through pin stacking, cam assembly and key cutting, with the housing, plug and key made on the same site. Each batch is checked against the DIN EN 1303 requirements stated for this product before packing, and the finish is inspected under light for plating defects. Export orders ship to door hardware distributors, joinery suppliers and project buyers, with keying schedules confirmed before the cylinders are pinned.
Quality Control
Incoming brass stock is checked for dimensions before machining. In-process checks cover pin chamber depth, cam fit and keyway alignment. Finished cylinders are function-tested with their keys and inspected for finish, then packed against the order’s keying schedule.
- Incoming inspection: brass housing, plug and key blanks measured before production.
- In-process checks: pin stack, cam and fixing screw fit checked during assembly.
- Final inspection: key turning test and finish inspection on every batch.
- Traceability: keying schedule and order configuration recorded against the batch.
Packaging & Delivery
Cylinders are packed by configuration with keys and fixing screws, and the keying schedule is checked against the carton label before sealing. Mixed orders are separated by length, finish and keying so the site receives sets that can be issued directly.
- Packing: individual cylinder with keys and M5 fixing screw, then carton by configuration.
- Order documents: keying schedule and packing list issued with the shipment.
- Trade terms and port: confirmed at quotation against the destination.
- Lead time: confirmed per order once length, finish and keying are fixed.
FAQ
What does the DIN EN 1303 rating on this cylinder mean?
It is the European standard for profile cylinders, and this product is built to that specification. The rating lets you put a standard number into a door schedule instead of describing the cylinder in words.
How do I choose the A and B lengths?
Measure from the centre of the fixing screw to each face of the door, then add the amount the cylinder should protrude. Both sides start at 30 mm, and 30-80 mm is available to order.
What is the difference between active and passive pins?
Active pins are the ones the key lifts directly; passive pins add a second layer of restriction in the keyway. This cylinder uses 6 of each as standard, with 4-7 available.
Can it be used on wooden entrance doors?
Yes. The double cylinder for wooden doors is the main use for this product, and the 30-80 mm length range covers most timber door thicknesses. Add anti-drill and anti-bump options for street-facing doors.
Which keying systems can I order?
KA, CE, MK and GMK are available. Send the door list and the access each key should have, and we will confirm the keying schedule before production.
Can I get a sample and the euro profile double cylinder datasheet before ordering?
Yes. We can supply a sample cylinder in your chosen length and finish together with the datasheet, so you can check the fit before placing a volume order.
What is your MOQ for a trial order?
MOQ depends on length, finish and keying, since keyed-alike and master-key orders need more setup. Send your configuration and we will confirm the minimum for that build.
How is the euro profile double cylinder price calculated?
Price follows the A and B lengths, pin count, keying system, protection options and finish. A quotation against your exact configuration is the accurate figure, so list those details when you enquire.
Do you offer OEM marking and custom keying?
OEM and ODM work is available, including your own marking and a fixed configuration for your market. Keying schedules for KA, CE, MK and GMK are set up per order.
