Zinc Alloy Euro Profile Cylinder with Knob

The zinc alloy Euro profile cylinder with knob is engineered for cost-effective interior and residential door installations requiring convenient keyless manual egress. Built with a high-density zinc alloy housing and an optional brass or zinc alloy plug, the cylinder incorporates 5 or 6 brass pin tumblers alongside an ergonomic K7 thumbturn knob. Supporting vertical and dimple keyways, it features a standard 60 mm length (30/30 mm) scalable up to 120 mm, a sintered steel cam, and multiple architectural finishes for volume B2B procurement.

Core Configurations & Applications

Hardware Specifications

  • Zinc Alloy Housing with K7 Knob: Precision die-cast zinc alloy housing conforming to standard Euro profile DIN dimensions (32.8 x 16.8 x 9.8 mm), paired with an interior K7 cylindrical thumbturn knob featuring a sculpted thumb scoop for comfortable manual operation.
  • Brass Pinning Architecture: Features solid brass pin tumblers (available in 5-pin or 6-pin configurations) to provide reliable key engagement and smooth rotation, operating with either an economical zinc alloy plug or an upgraded solid brass plug.
  • Symmetrical & Asymmetrical Dimensions: Standard symmetrical 60 mm length (30/30 mm), with barrel dimensions A (exterior keyed side) and B (interior thumbturn side) individually scalable from 30 mm to 60 mm to match varying door thicknesses and escutcheon projections.
  • Dual Key Platform Compatibility: Accommodates traditional vertical edge-cut keys or modern flat dimple keys, supplied with 3 keys standard. Key bows are available in H4 (asymmetric flared), H7 (square with rounded corners), or customized OEM profiles.
  • Sintered Steel Cam: Driven by a wear-resistant sintered steel cam (powder metallurgy) designed for reliable latch and deadbolt actuation, secured via an M5 fixing screw (lengths available from 40 mm to 80 mm).

Primary Application Environments

  • Residential Entry Doors: Provides secure keyed exterior entry combined with convenient interior thumbturn egress without requiring a key to exit.
  • Multi-Family & Rental Housing: Practical, budget-conscious hardware solution for apartment doors, private suites, and interior partitions requiring interior privacy locking.
  • Pre-Hung Door Manufacturing Facilities: Ideal for door fabricators and modular building factories requiring standardized Euro profile hardware with reliable batch consistency.

Optional Configurations & Customization

Modular Component & Material Selections

Based on specific project specifications, the following options can be customized:

  • Plug Material: Standard zinc alloy for competitive pricing, or solid brass for enhanced cycle durability.
  • Knob Integration: Fitted with the ergonomic K7 cylindrical scooped knob as an option, matching the cylinder finish.
  • Pin Count: 5-pin setup for standard lock programs, or 6-pin setup for higher combination capacity.
  • Key Customization: Supplied with 3 keys standard; optional brass key materials and custom-stamped OEM key heads (H4, H7).
  • Dimensional Offsets: Configurable overall lengths ranging from 60 mm (30/30 mm) up to 120 mm (60/60 mm), including asymmetrical offsets (e.g., 30/40 mm, 35/45 mm, 40/50 mm).
  • Architectural Surface Finishes: Electroplated and coated finishes available in Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome, Matt Chrome, Gold, Matt Black, and Antique Brass to coordinate with exterior and interior door handles.
