FAQs
How do I get extra keys made for this cylinder?
Due to the patented key system, extra keys must be duplicated by an authorized dealer. You will need to present your property card to prove ownership before keys can be copied.
What does EN 1303 certification mean?
EN 1303 is a European standard that classifies cylinders based on their security, durability, and functionality. This certification indicates the Tesa Assa Abloy TK100 meets stringent quality and security requirements.
Is this cylinder suitable for external doors?
Yes, the Tesa Assa Abloy TK100 is designed for external doors and features weather-resistant construction and enhanced security features to protect against various attack methods.
What is the 'anti-shock' or 'anti-bump' feature?
The anti-shock system is designed to prevent the lock from being opened by 'bumping' – a technique using a specially cut key and a sharp impact to override the pins. This cylinder incorporates features to resist such attacks.
What is the 'short cam' of 13.2 mm?
The cam is the part of the cylinder that engages with the lock mechanism. A 'short cam' of 13.2 mm refers to its length, which is important for compatibility with specific lock cases and door hardware designs, often found in narrower door profiles.
Can I use this cylinder on a very old door?
While designed for modern locks, it's compatible with most standard Euro-profile lock cases. However, verification of the door's lock case and the cylinder's dimensions (30x30mm) is recommended for older installations.
What is the warranty period for this cylinder?
The product information indicates a shelf life of 200,000 cycles, suggesting high durability. Specific warranty terms are typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer at the point of sale.
Troubleshooting
Key does not turn smoothly.
Ensure the key is fully inserted and aligned correctly. Check for any debris in the keyway. Lubricate the keyhole with a graphite-based lubricant.
Cylinder feels stiff or difficult to operate.
Verify the cylinder is correctly seated within the lock mechanism and not being stressed. Check that the door frame is not warped, causing misalignment. Lubricate as per care instructions.
Key cannot be inserted or removed.
Ensure the correct key is being used and that the lock is in the neutral (locked or unlocked, not in between) position. Check the keyway for obstructions.
The lock mechanism does not engage or disengage fully.
Confirm that the cylinder's cam is correctly aligned with the lock mechanism's internal parts. Ensure the cylinder is securely fastened and not loose.
