Euro Profile V10 Double Cylinder 40/60mm – Keyed to Differ

The 60mm total length of 60mm euro profile double cylinder is specifically designed to accommodate the geometry of a standard door. In a 44mm thick door leaf, the mortice lock sits in the center. Adding roughly 8mm for a handle backplate on each side brings the total width to exactly 60mm.

Key Security Advantages

• Insurance Compliance: Many insurers specify “Double-Locking” for final exit doors. Because a key is required to open the door from the inside, it prevents an intruder from simply breaking a glass panel and reaching in to turn a thumbturn.

• Anti-Snap Engineering: Since 60mm is a standard size, 60mm euro profile double cylinder is available in TS007 3-Star ratings. These barrels feature a sacrificial “snap-line.” If an intruder applies torque to the lock, the barrel breaks at a predetermined point, leaving the central cam and the deadbolt fully engaged.

• Internal Safety for High-Traffic Zones: Ideal for office suites and communal hallways where you want to control exactly who can lock or unlock a zone, rather than allowing any passerby to turn a thumbturn.

• High-Security Pin Configurations: Most 60mm cylinders utilize a 6-pin or 10-pin anti-pick system, making them exponentially more difficult to bypass than basic 5-pin budget barrels.

Precision Sizing: The 30/30 Symmetric Split

The 60mm euro profile double cylinder is almost universally manufactured as a 30/30 (Symmetric) configuration. This means the fixing screw hole—which secures the barrel into the mortice lock—is positioned exactly in the center.

Pro-Tip: To maintain maximum security, the 60mm euro profile double cylinder should never protrude more than 3mm from the face of the handle. If your handle is exceptionally thin and the lock sticks out further, you should consider a shorter barrel or a security handle set to prevent “lock snapping.”
