Product Overview
The Economy Rim Cylinder is an EN 1303-rated rim profile cylinder in the Rim and KIK Cylinders category, used on wooden and steel doors where a surface-mounted lock body takes a screw-fixed cylinder. It is built for locksmiths, door-hardware distributors and OEM door makers who fit or resell cylinders in volume. The model is defined by its 30.2 mm length, brass housing and brass plug, and a 5-pin tumbler stack with 3 keys supplied.
That combination keeps the unit cost down without dropping the EN 1303 rating buyers ask for on replacement and OEM work. A 60 mm connecting bar and M5x55 fixing screw cover the common door thicknesses, so a maintenance team can restock one SKU instead of several lengths. For projects where the cylinder is the wear part and the lock body stays, this is the line to quote.
Key Features
- EN 1303-rated rim profile: the cylinder carries the standard buyers specify on replacement and OEM schedules, so it clears door-hardware acceptance checks.
- Brass housing and brass plug: both load-bearing parts are machined brass, which holds the pin bores and keyway in shape over repeated key cycles.
- 30.2 mm length with a 60 mm connecting bar: fits the common rim-lock backset, so a maintenance fitter can swap a worn cylinder without changing the lock body.
- 5 active and 5 passive pins: the standard pin stack gives the keying level most replacement doors need, with 5-7 pins available when a project asks for more.
- Three keys supplied as standard: the cylinder arrives ready to hand over, with no separate key-cutting step on the fitting day.
- M5x55 fixing screw: the screw length matches the cylinder body, so the fitter is not hunting for hardware on site.
- Five finish options: brass, polished brass, satin nickel, polished chrome and matt chrome let one cylinder line match the door furniture already specified.

Industrial Applications
- Rim cylinder for door replacement: maintenance teams on rental housing and small commercial buildings replace a worn or lost-key cylinder without touching the lock body; the 30.2 mm length and 60 mm bar drop into the existing rim lock, and three keys go straight to the tenant.
- Rim cylinder for OEM door hardware: door makers and hardware assemblers fit the cylinder at the factory on wooden and steel doors; the EN 1303 rating and brass housing meet the specification sheet, and master keying can be set at order.
- Rim cylinder for rental property maintenance: property managers and locksmiths restock one SKU across a portfolio; the budget rim cylinder keeps the per-door cost down while the brass plug holds up to repeated key cycles.
- Rim cylinder for locksmith supply: locksmith shops keep the cylinder on the van for call-outs; the 5-pin stack and three keys cover the common rekey job, and the optional 5-7 pins handle buildings that want more differs.
- Rim cylinder for commercial door retrofit: contractors upgrading older rim locks on shops and offices specify the EN 1303 rim cylinder in satin nickel or polished chrome to match existing furniture, with the 30-120 mm bar covering deeper doors.
Key Advantages
- The EN 1303 rating is the fact that carries this cylinder into a specification: a buyer comparing quotes can put the standard number on the door schedule instead of arguing about brand.
- Brass in the housing and plug is where the money goes, and it is why the pin bores stay true after repeated use; a budget rim cylinder that wears oval in a year costs more in call-backs than it saves at purchase.
- One 30.2 mm body with a 60 mm bar and M5x55 screw covers the common rim-lock door, so a distributor stocks a single line and still fills most orders from the shelf.
- The 5-7 pin option and KA, CE, MK and GMK keying let the same cylinder serve a single door or a master-keyed building, which keeps the buyer’s approval list short.
- The full economy rim cylinder specifications are on the datasheet: 30.2 mm body, 60 mm bar, M5x55 screw, 5 active and 5 passive pins as standard, brass housing and plug, EN 1303 rated.
How to Choose the Right Configuration
| 30-120 mm connecting bar | for deeper door sections or lock bodies where the standard 60 mm bar does not reach. |
|---|---|
| 5-7 pin stack | for buildings or OEM lines that need a larger keying range than the standard 5 pins give. |
| KA, CE, MK or GMK master keying | for multi-door buildings where one key or a managed key system is required. |
| Brass, polished brass, satin nickel, polished chrome or matt chrome | match the finish to the door furniture already on site. |
Standard 30.2 mm cylinder with 60 mm bar: suits replacement doors and volume OEM orders where the existing rim lock takes the common backset.
Why Choose Us
We quote the economy rim cylinder price against your door schedule, so the number you get matches the length, pin count and finish you actually need. We run the brass housing, plug and pin stack in-house, so a repeat order comes back to the same tolerance. OEM and ODM work is routine: send the keying plan and finish, and we build to it rather than pushing a catalogue version. Spare keys, connecting bars and fixing screws ship with the cylinder order, so a maintenance team is not left short on the fitting day. We answer technical questions on pin counts, bar lengths and keying in writing, so a procurement file has the answer on record. Every order carries a warranty against manufacturing defects, with the terms confirmed at quotation. After-sales support runs through the same contact who quoted you, and spare parts — keys, bars, screws — can be reordered separately after the original shipment. Technical support on fitting and keying is available for the life of the product.
Factory Strength
The plant machines brass housings and plugs, cuts the pin stacks and assembles the cylinders on site, with the keying and finish applied before packing. Each unit is checked against the EN 1303 requirement and the ordered length, pin count and finish before it goes into the carton. Export orders ship to door-hardware distributors, locksmith suppliers and OEM door makers, and the same inspection record follows the batch from incoming brass to the final key test.
Quality Control
Incoming brass is checked for dimension and grade before it reaches the machining line. In-process checks follow the housing bore, plug and pin stack through assembly, and the finished cylinder is tested for key operation and the ordered pin count. Final inspection confirms length, finish and key quantity against the order before packing. Each batch carries its inspection record, and the EN 1303 rating is the reference the checks are written against.
Packaging & Delivery
Cylinders are packed individually with their keys and fixing screw, then boxed for export in cartons sized for pallet loading. The packing list states length, pin count, finish and key quantity per carton so the receiving team can check the order without opening every box. Shipping terms, port and lead time are confirmed at quotation against the order quantity and finish. A deposit and the shipping marks are agreed before production starts.
FAQ
