FAQs

What does 'Sold Secure Diamond' mean?

Sold Secure Diamond is the highest security rating awarded by Sold Secure, a company that rigorously tests locks and security products for insurance purposes. It indicates the highest level of resistance to determined attacks.

How do I measure my current cylinder correctly?

Measure from the outside face of your door to the centre of the cylinder retaining screw hole (this is the 'outside' measurement). Then, measure from the centre of the screw hole to the inside face of your door (this is the 'inside' measurement). The total size is the sum of these two measurements. For example, 35mm outside + 45mm inside = 80mm total cylinder size, ordered as 35/45.

Is this cylinder suitable for any door?

The Fullex Kinetica+ K4 is a Euro profile cylinder and is suitable for most doors fitted with a multi-point locking system that uses this standard, commonly found on uPVC, composite, and some wooden doors.

What is the difference between TS2007 3-Star and Sold Secure Diamond?

TS2007 3-Star is a British Kitemark standard for lock cylinders, ensuring a high level of resistance to common attacks. Sold Secure Diamond is an independent, higher security standard recognized by insurance companies, indicating superior resistance to more prolonged and determined attacks.

Does the Kinetica+ come with keys?

Yes, the Fullex Kinetica+ K4 cylinder typically comes with a set of keys. Some variants may include extra keys, as indicated in the product title or description.

Can this cylinder be bumped?

No, the Kinetica+ K4 is designed to resist bumping. It incorporates advanced security features to prevent this common attack method.

What happens if the cylinder snaps?

If the cylinder snaps, the Kinetica+ is engineered with multiple defenses. A sacrificial part of the cylinder will break off first. An anti-grip drive bar then deploys, and dual attack rods prevent it from being manipulated. The lock remains protected from the outside and operational from the inside.

Troubleshooting

The key will not turn or the lock feels stiff.

Ensure the correct cylinder size has been fitted and that the main door screw is not overtightened. Check for any obstructions in the keyway and ensure the key is fully inserted. If the issue persists, the cylinder may be misaligned or damaged.

The cylinder was snapped, but the lock is now inoperable.

The Kinetica+ is designed to remain operational from the inside after a snap. If it's completely inoperable, there may have been significant damage to the lock mechanism or door furniture. Contact a locksmith for assessment.

The cylinder doesn't fit correctly.

Double-check your measurements against the cylinder size ordered. Euro cylinders require precise sizing. If the size is incorrect, you will need to replace it with the correctly sized cylinder.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highest Sold Secure Diamond security rating.
  • Comprehensive protection against multiple attack methods (snap, bump, pick, drill).
  • Innovative design with sacrificial cylinder and anti-grip features.
  • Police-approved (Secured by Design) for enhanced security.
  • Maintains internal operation after a snap attack.

Cons

  • Requires precise measurement for correct sizing (external/internal dimensions).
  • May be more complex to install than basic cylinders.
  • Premium security features might come at a higher price point compared to basic locks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Sizing is Critical: The Kinetica+ cylinder is measured by its external dimension first, followed by the internal dimension, separated by a slash (e.g., 35/45 for an 80mm cylinder). Measure from the *outside face* of your door to the *centre of the cylinder screw hole*, and then from the *centre of the screw hole* to the *inside face* of your door. Ensure the measurements match your requirement. If you have a multipoint lock, it's likely a standard euro profile cylinder.

Installation:

  1. Remove the existing cylinder by loosening the main door screw (usually located below the cylinder on the edge of the door) and then carefully removing the old cylinder. You may need to push the bolt slightly.
  2. Insert the new Fullex Kinetica+ K4 cylinder, ensuring the screw hole aligns correctly.
  3. Insert and tighten the main door screw. Do not overtighten, as this can impede lock operation.
  4. Test the lock thoroughly with the door open and then closed, ensuring smooth operation of both the locking mechanism and the handle.

Compatibility: This is a standard Euro profile cylinder and is compatible with most multi-point locking systems and standard door furniture that accept this profile.

Care: Clean the cylinder occasionally with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or lubricants, as they can damage the internal mechanisms. Ensure keys are inserted and removed smoothly; if not, check for obstructions or potential alignment issues.
