FAQs
What does '70mm' refer to for this lock cylinder?
The '70mm' refers to the total length of the cylinder. For this specific model, it is a 35mm/35mm configuration, meaning the distance from the center screw hole to each end of the cylinder is 35mm.
How many keys are included with the lock cylinder?
This SEPOX Euro Door Lock Cylinder comes with seven keys.
Can I use this lock on any type of door?
Yes, this cylinder is suitable for wooden, composite, UPVC, and aluminum doors, provided they are fitted with a standard Euro profile lock case and require a 70mm (35/35) cylinder.
What does 'Anti-Snap' mean for a lock cylinder?
Anti-snap means the cylinder is designed with a weaker point that will break intentionally if subjected to snapping force, thereby protecting the internal mechanism and preventing unauthorized access.
How do I measure my door for the correct cylinder size?
Measure the length of your existing cylinder from the screw hole to both the inside and outside ends. For this lock, you need 35mm from the screw hole to each end, totaling 70mm.
Is this lock cylinder easy to install?
Yes, it is designed for easy replacement of existing Euro profile cylinders. Basic tools like a screwdriver are typically all that is needed.
What is the difference between Anti-Drill, Anti-Pick, and Anti-Bump?
Anti-Drill features resist attempts to drill the cylinder. Anti-Pick features make it harder to pick the lock. Anti-Bump features protect against the bumping technique, a common method for opening pin-tumbler locks.
Troubleshooting
Lock cylinder does not fit
Verify that your door requires a 70mm cylinder with a 35mm/35mm measurement. If the measurements are incorrect, you will need to order the correct size cylinder.
Key is difficult to insert or turn
Ensure the correct key is being used and is fully inserted. Check for any debris in the keyway. A small amount of graphite lubricant may help.
Retaining screw does not align
The cylinder may not be fully seated. Ensure the cylinder is pushed in evenly and the door's latch mechanism is not obstructing the screw hole.
Door still feels insecure or has excessive play
Check that all screws, including the cylinder retaining screw and the gearbox screws, are properly tightened. Ensure the lock case itself is securely fitted within the door.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This lock cylinder is designed for DIY replacement. Ensure your door requires a 70mm cylinder with a 35mm/35mm split. Remove the retaining screw from the edge of your door, typically located on the door's edge opposite the hinges, aligned with the cylinder. Gently push or pull the cylinder out. Insert the new SEPOX cylinder, ensuring it is flush, and reinsert and tighten the retaining screw.
Compatibility: Suitable for wooden, composite, UPVC, and aluminum doors fitted with a standard Euro profile lock case. Crucially, measure your existing cylinder accurately from the *outside* screw hole to *both* ends of the cylinder. This lock requires a 35mm measurement from the center screw hole to each end (totaling 70mm).
Care: Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Periodically, a small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied to the keyhole to ensure smooth operation, but avoid oil-based lubricants which can attract dust.
