FAQs

What does Sold Secure Diamond mean?

Sold Secure Diamond is the highest security rating awarded by Sold Secure, an independent testing house. It indicates that the product has undergone rigorous attack testing and demonstrates exceptional resistance to various burglary methods.

How do I measure my current cylinder correctly?

Measure from the outside face of the cylinder to the center of the securing screw hole for the first measurement. Then, measure from the center of the securing screw hole to the inside face of the cylinder for the second measurement. The size is typically written as External/Internal (Total Length), e.g., 45/45 (90mm).

Will this cylinder work if my door is attacked?

Yes, the Kinetica+ K4 is specifically designed to withstand lock snapping attacks. It features multiple mechanisms that engage after snapping to prevent the lock from being bypassed and to keep it operational from the inside.

Can I install this cylinder myself?

Yes, installation is generally straightforward for someone with basic DIY skills, provided accurate measurements are taken and the correct size cylinder is purchased. Detailed instructions are provided in the setup section.

What is the difference between the Gold and Silver versions?

The colour family (Gold or Silver) refers to the finish of the cylinder. The core security features and performance remain the same across different finishes and sizes for the Kinetica+ K4 range.

What happens to the lock mechanism after a snap attack?

Following a snap attack, the Kinetica+ K4's internal mechanism, including the cam, is designed to remain protected and operational from the inside. This is thanks to features like the anti-grip drive bar, dual attack rods, and anti-tilt mechanism.

Is this cylinder suitable for UPVC doors?

The Kinetica+ K4 is a Euro profile cylinder and is compatible with most doors that use a Euro profile lock case, including many UPVC, composite, and wooden doors. Ensure your existing lock cylinder is a Euro profile type.

Troubleshooting

Cylinder is difficult to turn with a key

Ensure the correct size cylinder has been installed and is properly aligned. Check for any debris in the keyway. If the issue persists, the lock mechanism itself might require attention.

Key will not fully insert

Verify that the cylinder size is correct for the door. An incorrectly sized cylinder might not seat properly. Ensure the keyway is clear of obstructions.

Door cannot be locked or unlocked after installation

Double-check that the cylinder was installed with the cam aligned correctly with the lock mechanism. Ensure the securing bolt is not overtightened, which can bind the mechanism. Re-measure and confirm the cylinder size is appropriate for the door.

Cylinder snaps, but the lock mechanism is jammed

While designed to remain functional, extreme force or incorrect installation could cause jamming. Contact a locksmith or the manufacturer for assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure Carefully: Accurate measurement is crucial. Measure from the face of the cylinder to the center of the screw hole on both the outside and inside. The format is `external measurement / internal measurement (total length)`. For example, a cylinder measuring 35mm from the outside face to the center screw hole and 45mm from the center screw hole to the inside face should be ordered as 35/45 (80mm).
  2. Remove Old Cylinder: Unscrew the large bolt that goes through the door and into the lock mechanism. Gently tap the old cylinder to loosen it, then pull it out.
  3. Install New Cylinder: Insert the new Kinetica+ cylinder, ensuring the cam aligns with the lock mechanism. The securing screw should align with the hole in the mechanism.
  4. Secure Cylinder: Insert and tighten the large bolt through the door to secure the cylinder. Ensure it is snug but do not overtighten.

Compatibility:

  • The Kinetica+ K4 is a 3-star Euro profile cylinder. It is designed to fit most doors with a standard Euro profile lock case. Ensure your existing lock has a Euro profile cylinder.
  • Available in various sizes to fit different door thicknesses.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Periodically check that the cylinder operates smoothly. A small amount of graphite lubricant can be used if sticking occurs, but avoid oil-based lubricants which can attract dirt.
