Half Euro Cylinder - BS1 3 Star Half Euro

The APECS AP Series Half Euro Cylinder is our specialized half euro cylinder that operates on the same key system as our BS1 3 Star Kitemark AP Series Euro Cylinder. This exceptional half euro cylinder offers comprehensive protection against drilling, picking, and bumping, ideal for applications requiring single-sided access.

What is a Half Euro Cylinder?

A half euro cylinder, also known as a single cylinder, provides key operation from one side only. This makes it perfect for doors that only need to be locked from the outside, such as storage rooms, utility doors, or situations where internal access does not require key operation. The APECS AP Half Euro brings BS1 3 Star security to these applications.

BS1 3 Star Kitemark AP Series System Integration:

A major advantage of the AP Half Euro Cylinder is its full compatibility with the APECS BS1 3 Star Kitemark AP Series Euro Cylinder range. This means you can operate multiple locks throughout your property on a single unified key system, including both full euro and half euro cylinders. This provides unparalleled convenience without compromising on the highest level of BS1 3 Star security.

Size Selection Guide:

The cylinder size is measured as Internal x External, where the internal measurement is fixed at 10mm (providing minimal internal projection), and the external measurement varies from 30mm to 50mm to accommodate different door thicknesses and lock backset requirements. Measure your door thickness and lock requirements carefully to select the appropriate size.
