Secure Key System
Each unit comes with three keys, ensuring immediate usability and safety.
A rim cylinder is the round key barrel that operates a surface-mounted nightlatch (the classic 'Yale lock') on timber doors. The key turns a flat connecting bar that passes through the door into the latch case on the inside.
Yes — if the nightlatch case is fine but you want new keys after moving house or losing a set, swap only the cylinder. Two screws from the inside, trim the connecting bar to length if needed, done in ten minutes.
Standard rim cylinders fit the vast majority of UK nightlatches — the connecting bar is over-long and snaps to size. Check yours isn't an oversized or high-security bodied latch before ordering, and match brands where the latch specifies.
