Product Information

Full details

The UAP 1 Star Kitemarked Euro Cylinder Lock is an ideal security upgrade for homeowners looking to protect their external doors with a reliable, high-performance locking mechanism. Featuring a 6-pin system and BSI 1-star accreditation, it provides significant resistance against unauthorized entry techniques like picking, drilling, and bumping. While it offers excellent security for standard euro profile applications, users should ensure they accurately measure their existing cylinder dimensions before purchase to guarantee a proper fit.

FAQs

What does the 1-star Kitemark mean?

It means the lock has been independently tested to BSI standards, verifying it meets specific criteria for performance and resistance to forced entry.

Can I get more keys made?

Yes, use the unique key card provided with your purchase to order additional keys from a professional locksmith.

Is this lock suitable for all door types?

It is designed for doors that utilize a standard Euro profile lock, which is common for uPVC, composite, and some timber doors.

How do I measure my door for this lock?

Measure from the center of the screw hole to both ends of the cylinder to get the two sizes required (e.g., 50mm and 60mm).

What is a 6-pin mechanism?

It is a security feature that uses six pins rather than five, increasing the number of possible key combinations and resistance to picking.

Troubleshooting

Key is difficult to insert or turn

Ensure the cylinder is not under tension from the door frame. Apply a small amount of dry graphite lubricant.

Locking screw does not align

Check that the cylinder is centered correctly and that you have purchased the correct size (e.g., 50/60).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Certified BSI 1-star security rating
  • Effective resistance against common lock-attack methods
  • Durable silver finish suitable for various door aesthetics
  • Includes a key card for secure and convenient key replacement

Cons

  • Requires precise measurement of the existing cylinder
  • Professional installation recommended for those without locksmithing experience
  • Limited to 1-star rating; higher security requirements may demand 3-star cylinders

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation begins with accurate measurement. You must measure the distance from the center of the fixing screw hole to both the internal and external ends of the cylinder.

  1. Removal: Loosen the fixing screw on the edge of the door, insert the current key, turn it slightly to align the cam, and slide the old cylinder out.
  2. Installation: Insert the new UAP cylinder, ensuring the cam is aligned to allow entry. Replace and tighten the fixing screw until secure, ensuring it is not over-tightened.
  3. Care: Keep the lock clean and free of debris. If the key feels stiff, apply a dry graphite lubricant. Avoid using oil-based sprays as these can attract dust and cause internal mechanism wear over time.
