FAQs
What does the 1 Star Kitemark mean?
It signifies that the product has undergone rigorous testing and meets specific security standards set by the British Standards Institution (BSI) for resistance to physical attack.
Can I get more keys made?
Yes, use the unique key code card provided with your package to order authorized key duplicates from a locksmith or the manufacturer.
Is this lock drill-resistant?
Yes, it features integrated anti-drill components designed to protect the internal pins from external drilling attempts.
Does this come with mounting screws?
Yes, every pack includes the necessary mounting screws for standard installation.
What is the 6-pin mechanism?
The 6-pin mechanism is a security feature that requires six specific pins to be aligned simultaneously to turn the lock, making it significantly harder to pick than standard 4 or 5-pin locks.
Troubleshooting
The key does not turn smoothly in the lock.
Check that the cylinder is not being pinched by the door handle plate. Loosen the handle screws slightly to see if the lock turns freely.
The cylinder is too long or too short for the door.
Ensure you measured from the center of the fixing hole to both ends of the cylinder accurately. If it is the wrong size, do not force installation; it must be swapped for the correct size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this cylinder, you will need to remove the retaining screw located on the edge of the door (aligned with the cylinder) while the door is open. Slide the old cylinder out by inserting the key and turning it slightly to align the cam. Slide the new UAP cylinder into place, ensuring it is centered, and re-tighten the retaining screw.
Compatibility is based on the 'Euro Profile' standard, meaning it fits most uPVC, composite, and timber doors that use a euro-style mortice lock. To keep the mechanism operating smoothly, avoid using heavy oils; if the key turns stiffly, a light application of a dry graphite lubricant is recommended once or twice a year.
