Keyed Alike Half Euro Cylinder 37mm for Lockable Drop Bolts, Nickel

This is a 37mm keyed alike half euro cylinder for lockable drop bolts: a short cylinder with a key on one side only, which locks the drop bolt so it cannot be lifted. It is keyed alike, so every cylinder of this type opens with the same key, letting one key open several gates and locks on a site instead of a ring of different keys. It is supplied with keys and a fixing screw, in a satin nickel finish. The price shown is for one cylinder.

Why use keyed alike cylinders

One key for the site. Fit matching cylinders to every gate, drop bolt and lock on a site and staff, keyholders and contractors carry a single key.

Quick to change. A euro cylinder is held by one screw, so it can be swapped in minutes when keys are lost or a lock needs to match the rest of the site.

Standard fit. Euro profile cylinders fit the gate locks in our range that take a cylinder, so you can match locks bought at different times.

Ready to use. Each cylinder comes with keys and its fixing screw.

Simple key control. With fewer different keys in circulation, it is easier to keep track of who can open the site and to hand over access when staff or contractors change.

Where it is used

Lockable drop bolts on the fixed leaf of double driveway gates, field gates and double doors at homes, farms, schools and industrial sites, where every drop bolt on the site should open with the same key.

Choosing the right option

Choose this half cylinder for a lockable drop bolt. For gate locks with a key on both sides, choose a double euro cylinder in the length that matches the lock and the gate thickness. Keyed alike cylinders suit sites where many people need access with one key; where each gate must have its own key, use the cylinder supplied with the lock instead.

Fitting and care

Undo the drop bolt's cylinder screw, slide the half cylinder in with the key turned so the cam is in line with the body, refit the screw and test the key. Put a little graphite or dry lock lubricant in the keyway once a year; do not use oil, which collects grit.
