Full details
This Sterling 5 Pin Euro Thumbturn Cylinder in Bronze is designed for homeowners seeking enhanced security and convenient internal access. Its anti-pick mushroom pins offer robust protection against forced entry, while the thumbturn allows for quick locking and unlocking from the inside without a key. A potential drawback is the specific Euro profile, which requires compatible door hardware. Key features include a 5-pin tumbler mechanism, anti-pick mushroom pins, a standard section keyway, and three nickel-plated brass keys.

FAQs
What is the difference between this and a standard cylinder?
This cylinder features a thumbturn on one side for keyless operation from the interior, and includes anti-pick mushroom pins for enhanced security compared to basic cylinders.
How do I measure the correct size cylinder?
Measure from the center of the screw hole on the door's edge to the outside edge of the lock's casing on both sides. This model is 35mm on each side (35x35mm total).
Can I get extra keys cut?
Yes, as this uses a standard section keyway, you can typically have additional keys cut by a local locksmith.
Is this suitable for external doors?
Yes, it is suitable for external doors, offering good security with the anti-pick features and convenience of the thumbturn.
What is the guarantee period?
The cylinder comes with a 10-year guarantee from the manufacturer.
Does the bronze finish fade over time?
The bronze finish is designed for durability, but like all finishes, prolonged exposure to harsh elements may cause slight changes over extended periods. Standard care will help maintain its appearance.
What tools are needed for installation?
Typically, only a screwdriver is needed to remove and install the fixing screw that secures the cylinder to the door.
Troubleshooting
Cylinder won't turn smoothly.
Ensure the door is in the open position when testing. Check for any debris in the keyway or cylinder. Verify the cylinder size and alignment are correct for the door.
Key does not insert or turn fully.
Confirm you are using the correct key. Check that the keyway is clear of obstructions. Ensure the cylinder is not damaged or misaligned within the door.
Thumbturn is stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure the door is not under pressure (i.e., closed tightly). Try a small amount of graphite lubricant in the thumbturn mechanism. Verify the cylinder is correctly installed.
