FAQs
What does TS2007 3-Star rating mean?
The TS2007 3-Star rating is a British Standard for lock cylinders, signifying the highest level of security against various forms of attack like snapping, bumping, drilling, and picking. It also meets the requirements for PAS24 security.
How do I measure the correct size for my door?
Measure from the outside face of the cylinder to the center of the fixing screw hole. Repeat this measurement from the inside face to the center of the screw hole. The size is written as external/internal (e.g., 35/45).
What is the benefit of the thumbturn feature?
The thumbturn allows you to lock and unlock the door from the inside without needing a key. This is convenient for quick exits or when you are inside the property.
Are the Bio Keys and Bio Cap important?
Yes, these patented features are designed to reduce the spread of bacteria and viruses on the key and the cylinder's thumbturn, contributing to better hygiene, especially important for protecting vulnerable individuals.
Can this cylinder be used on any type of door?
This is a standard euro profile cylinder, compatible with most doors that use this type of lock mechanism, including uPVC, composite, and timber doors. Always ensure correct sizing for proper fit.
What is Sold Secure Diamond accreditation?
Sold Secure is an independent testing facility. The Diamond rating is their highest security standard, indicating that the product has passed rigorous testing against a wide range of attack methods.
How often should I lubricate the cylinder?
It's recommended to lubricate the keyhole with a graphite-based lubricant every 6-12 months, or if you notice the key becoming stiff to insert or turn.
Troubleshooting
Thumbturn is stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure there is no debris around the thumbturn mechanism. Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the mechanism and operate the thumbturn several times.
Key does not turn smoothly or lock properly.
Verify that the correct cylinder size has been installed. Check for any obstructions in the keyway. Ensure the door is not warped or misaligned, putting pressure on the lock. A slight lubrication with graphite may help.
Cylinder has been snapped or attacked.
If the cylinder has been compromised, it will need to be replaced immediately for security reasons. Contact a locksmith or security professional.
Cylinder feels loose in the door.
Ensure the main fixing screw (located behind the cylinder when the handle is removed) is tightened correctly. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the lock mechanism.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Offers top-tier security with TS2007 3-star and Sold Secure Diamond ratings.
- Convenient thumbturn allows for easy operation from the inside.
- Advanced features like anti-tilt cam and anti-grip drive bar provide robust defense.
- Hygienic benefits through Bio Keys and Bio Cap technology.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Sizing:
Accurate measurement is crucial for the Kinetica+ cylinder. The size is represented as external measurement first, then internal measurement (e.g., 35/45). Measure from the face of the cylinder to the center of the screw hole on both sides. For example, a cylinder that is 35mm from the outside face to the screw hole center and 45mm from the screw hole center to the inside face (80mm total length) should be ordered as 35/45 (80mm).
Compatibility:
This is a standard euro profile cylinder, designed to fit most doors with a euro cylinder lock mechanism. Ensure your existing lock case has a euro cylinder cutout. The 3-star rating means it can be fitted to PAS24 doors without the need for additional security handles or cylinder guards.
Care:
To maintain smooth operation and longevity:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the cylinder with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Lubrication: Periodically (e.g., every 6-12 months), a small amount of graphite-based lubricant can be applied to the keyhole to ensure smooth key insertion and turning. Do not use oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dirt.
- Thumbturn: Ensure the thumbturn operates freely. If it feels stiff, check for any debris in the mechanism and lubricate lightly with graphite lubricant.
