Product Information

Full details

The Fullex Kinetica+ K4 3-Star Euro Cylinder is designed for homeowners seeking superior security against lock snapping and other forced entry methods. Its key benefit is the multi-layered defense system that protects the cylinder even if compromised, allowing continued operation from the inside. A potential caveat is the need for precise measurement to ensure correct sizing, as incorrect fit will render it incompatible.

FAQs

What does 'Sold Secure Diamond' mean?

It is the highest security rating awarded by Sold Secure, a leading independent testing facility, indicating the product has passed rigorous tests against various attack methods.

How do I measure my current cylinder size?

Measure from the outside face of the cylinder to the center of the screw hole (external measurement), and from the center of the screw hole to the inside face of the cylinder (internal measurement). The size is typically written as external/internal (total size).

Can this cylinder be bypassed even if it snaps?

The Kinetica+ is designed with multiple defensive layers, including an anti-grip drive bar and dual attack rods, which engage upon snapping. These mechanisms significantly hinder an attacker's ability to manipulate the cam, even after the cylinder has snapped.

What happens to the lock operation after a snap attack?

Following a snap attack, the lock remains protected on the outside, and crucially, operational from the inside, allowing you to still use your door.

Is this cylinder suitable for all types of doors?

It is designed for doors that use a standard Euro profile cylinder lock, commonly found on uPVC, composite, and some wooden doors. Ensure your current lock is a Euro profile type.

How many keys come with the cylinder?

Typically, 3 or 5 keys are provided with the Kinetica+ cylinder, depending on the specific package. Please check the product packaging for exact details.

Can I replace the cylinder myself?

Yes, if you can accurately measure your current cylinder and follow the installation steps, replacement can be a DIY task. However, for guaranteed optimal security and fit, professional installation is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Key is difficult to turn

Ensure the correct cylinder size is installed. Check for any debris inside the keyhole. Try a graphite-based lubricant. If issues persist, the door mechanism or the cylinder may be misaligned.

Cylinder does not operate after installation

Verify the cylinder was inserted correctly and the cam is aligned with the lock mechanism. Ensure the retaining screw is not over-tightened, which can cause binding. Double-check the cylinder sizing and compatibility with your lock case.

Cylinder appears loose in the lock

Confirm the central retaining screw is tightened correctly. Ensure the cylinder size is appropriate for the lock case and door thickness. An incorrect size may prevent proper secure fitting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure Accurately: Cylinder size is represented as external measurement / internal measurement. Measure from the face of the cylinder to the center of the screw hole on both the inside and outside. For example, a 35/45 (80mm) cylinder has 35mm from the outside face to the center of the screw hole and 45mm from the center of the screw hole to the inside face.
  2. Remove Old Cylinder: Unscrew the central retaining screw on the door edge, usually located under the latch. Gently push the old cylinder out. You may need to turn the key slightly to align the cam.
  3. Insert New Cylinder: Align the Kinetica+ cylinder and ensure the cam lines up with the door mechanism. Insert the central retaining screw.

Compatibility: This is a Euro profile cylinder. Ensure your door lock has a Euro profile cylinder lock case. It is compatible with most uPVC, composite, and wooden doors that use this standard.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Periodically check that the key operates smoothly. If stiffness occurs, a graphite-based lubricant can be used sparingly.
