Product Information

Full details

The Fullex Kinetica+ K4 3-Star Euro Cylinder is designed for homeowners seeking the highest level of security against lock manipulation. Its key benefit is its multi-layered defense system against common break-in methods like lock snapping, bumping, and drilling. A potential caveat is that its advanced security features might be overkill for low-risk areas, and precise sizing is crucial for proper installation. This cylinder offers award-winning Sold Secure Diamond and TS2007 3-Star ratings, making it a robust choice for protecting your home.

FAQs

What does Sold Secure Diamond mean?

Sold Secure Diamond is the highest security rating awarded by Sold Secure, an independent testing facility. It indicates that the product has passed rigorous testing against a wide range of sophisticated attack methods, providing the best possible protection.

How do I measure my current cylinder size?

Measure from the face of the cylinder on the outside of the door to the center of the cylinder's screw hole. Then, measure from the center of the screw hole to the face of the cylinder on the inside of the door. The size is represented as External/Internal (e.g., 35/45).

Is this cylinder suitable for any type of door?

The Kinetica+ K4 is a Euro profile cylinder and is compatible with most standard uPVC, composite, and some timber doors that accept this type of cylinder. The critical factor is ensuring you order the correct size.

What happens if the cylinder is snapped?

The Kinetica+ K4 is designed with a sacrificial cut. It will snap on the outside, but the internal mechanism is protected by an anti-grip drive bar and dual attack rods, preventing the lock from being opened from the inside or manipulated. The lock remains operational from the inside.

Does the 'Brass' colour family mean it's solid brass?

The 'Brass' colour family refers to the finish of the cylinder, which is typically a brass-plated or coated material to provide a specific aesthetic. It is not usually solid brass.

Can I upgrade my existing Euro cylinder to this one?

Yes, if you currently have a standard Euro profile cylinder, you can usually upgrade to the Fullex Kinetica+ K4, provided you order the correct size to match your door's requirements.

What is the TS2007 3-Star rating?

The TS2007 3-Star is a British Standard rating for lock cylinders, indicating it meets the highest security requirements for resistance against burglary attacks such as drilling, picking, and bumping. It is often a requirement for insurance purposes.

Troubleshooting

Cylinder is difficult to insert or does not fit

Double-check your measurements against the cylinder size you ordered. Ensure the lock case and door preparation are standard for a Euro profile cylinder. Forcing the cylinder can cause damage.

Key does not turn or operate smoothly

Ensure the cylinder is correctly aligned and fully seated in the lock case. Check that the retaining screw is not overtightened and is pinching the cylinder. Try a small amount of graphite lubricant in the keyway. Ensure the correct key is being used.

Door cannot be locked or unlocked from the outside

This could indicate an incorrect size cylinder or a problem with the internal lock mechanism. Verify measurements and consider if the issue persists after correct installation. It may require professional assessment of the door's multipoint lock.

Lock feels stiff after installation

The retaining screw may be too tight, slightly deforming the cylinder. Loosen the screw slightly and re-test. Ensure no debris has entered the keyway during installation.

  • Police-approved (Secured by Design)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure Accurately: Crucially, measure your existing cylinder. The size is given as External measurement/Internal measurement (overall length). Measure from the face of the cylinder (outside) to the center of the screw hole, and from the center of the screw hole to the inside face of the cylinder. For example, a 35/45 cylinder has 35mm on the outside and 45mm on the inside, totaling 80mm.
  2. Remove Old Cylinder: Unscrew the retaining screw on the door edge, usually located below the cylinder. Gently push the cylinder into the lock case, and if needed, use a screwdriver to carefully lever it out. Ensure the door is unlocked when doing this.
  3. Install New Cylinder: Insert the new Kinetica+ K4 cylinder into the lock case, ensuring the screw hole aligns. Re-insert and tighten the retaining screw firmly but do not overtighten.

Compatibility:

  • The Kinetica+ K4 is a Euro profile cylinder and is designed to fit most standard lock cases used in uPVC, composite, and sometimes timber doors.
  • Ensure the overall length and individual external/internal measurements match your door's requirements.

Care:

  • Clean the external surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • For the brass finish, a mild brass polish can be used periodically to maintain its shine. Ensure no polish enters the key mechanism.
  • Periodically test the lock operation to ensure smooth key insertion and turning.
