Cylinders


Cylinder locks are a common form of lock that can be re-keyed with a relative amount of ease. The main benefit to the design of a cylinder lock is that it is possible to open the cylinder and begin the process of re-keying the mechanism by simply removing a couple of screws. Because of the lack of difficulty in performing this task, a locksmith can re-key a cylinder lock in a matter of minutes.

The essential design for any cylinder lock is the ability to access the cylinder quickly and efficiently, and thus make any necessary changes in a short period of time. This can be a real benefit when there is a need to change locks on entrances and exits to the home or workplace quickly. A cylinder lock may be configured in several different types, including a wafer tumbler lock, a disc tumbler lock, or a pin tumble lock.

An additional benefit to a cylinder lock is that it is possible to re-key the lock without needing to make any changes or replacement to the bolt work of the device. Since the changes are made within the cylinder, all that is required is to detach the cylinder from the bolt work, make the necessary changes, and then reattach the cylinder to the bolt work. Often, this can be accomplished simply by unscrewing a single screw, then using the same screw to secure the cylinder back to the bolt work once the re-keying is complete.
