Many people have standard cylinders on their doors at home, but these are not the most secure locks available. To secure your doors properly, you need the Eurospec MPX6 Euro Cylinder & Turn. To lock the door on the inside, simply use the turn knob - there's no need for a key.
This cylinder has a variety of anti-attack features in place to help secure your home:
This cylinder conforms to TS 007:2012 standards - the new Kitemarked security standard for replacement lock cylinders and protective door furniture. TS 007 is a Technical Specification created in response to growing concerns over homes being vulnerable to attacks due to information available on the internet.

It is aimed at the retrofit UPVC and timber door market; if you have a basic euro profile cylinder at the moment,then you need this one now!

It is designed to offer similar levels of security of that found in complete door assemblies rated to PAS24 and complete lock assemblies rated to PAS and BS3621, 8621 and 10621.
There are two ways to meet these standards:
In order to achieve this 3 star security rating you should use this cylinder (1 star rating) and one of our Eurospec ProSecure door handles (2 star rating). These handles can be found in the related products below, or for the full range, simply browse the complete Eurospec collection.
The MPX6 euro cylinder & turn is available in the following sizes (these dimensions include the cam):
This one has a satin chrome finish, but there are also other versions available - polished brass and polished chrome versions, which can be found in the related products.
There are also single and double cylinder versions available; these can be found in the Eurospec collection.
You will need to reselect this option during checkout, as the delivery options available to you may depend on other items added to your cart.
