FAQs
What does 'off-centered lever' mean for this cylinder?
An off-centered lever means the spindle that operates the lock bolt is not positioned directly in the middle of the cylinder's length. This design is specific to certain lock mechanisms and can affect how the cylinder integrates with the door's hardware.
How do I measure my existing cylinder to ensure compatibility?
Measure the total length of the cylinder from the center of the screw hole on one side to the outer edge on both sides. For a 70mm cylinder, you'll typically have two sections (e.g., 35mm each, or other combinations totaling 70mm) that meet at the screw hole. Also, note if the screw hole is centered or off-centered.
Is this cylinder suitable for all types of doors?
This cylinder is designed for doors with a compatible lock case that accepts a 70mm, off-centered lever cylinder. It is most commonly used on exterior doors where higher security is needed. Always confirm compatibility with your existing lockset.
Can I install this myself?
Installation is generally straightforward for those familiar with basic lock replacement. However, if you are unsure or encounter difficulties, it is recommended to seek assistance from a qualified locksmith to ensure proper and secure installation.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Warranty information is typically provided by the manufacturer or retailer. Please refer to the product packaging or your purchase documentation for specific warranty details from Tesa Assa Abloy.
Does the nickel finish require special cleaning?
The nickel finish is durable and resistant to corrosion. It can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
Key does not turn smoothly.
Ensure the key is fully inserted and aligned correctly. Check the keyway for debris; use compressed air to clear it. If the issue persists, the cylinder may be misaligned or worn and may require replacement by a professional.
Cylinder does not fit the lock case.
Verify that the measured length (70mm) and the off-centered design match your lock's requirements. Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the lock case.
The lever mechanism feels stiff.
This can sometimes be due to the integrated lever mechanism not being perfectly aligned with the bolt. Ensure the door is closed and there is no pressure on the bolt. If the stiffness is consistent, professional assessment is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This cylinder is typically designed as a direct replacement for existing cylinders. Ensure the existing lock mechanism on your door is compatible with a 70mm, off-centered lever cylinder. Installation usually involves removing the retaining screw from the side of the lock case and then carefully sliding the old cylinder out and the new one in, followed by re-securing with the screw.
Compatibility:
Before purchasing, measure your current cylinder precisely. You need to measure the total length (in this case, 70mm) and note the position of the screw hole relative to the keyway (off-centered). This cylinder is compatible with locks designed to accept this specific configuration.
Care:
To maintain optimal performance, clean the cylinder's keyway occasionally with a dry, soft brush or compressed air to remove dust and debris. Avoid using lubricants, as they can attract dirt and potentially impede the cylinder's function. If the key becomes stiff, consult a locksmith.
