Do you want to find a double-entry lock for your door, garage, basement, office, or other room? Discover our complete range of double-cylinder locks from THIRARD, JPM, CAVERS, VACHETTE. Depending on your needs, choose a single-point or multi-point model for classic or very reinforced security. ManoMano provides some tips to guide you in the choice of lock.
To begin with, the definition of a double cylinder:
A double cylinder is a lock cylinder that has two key entries, one on each side of the door.
First, you need to be sure about the level of security you need.
For example, in a building or apartment with a common entrance hall in a high-risk area, it is preferable to opt for a multi-point lock, which will secure your door vertically and laterally. It is also recommended to equip yourself with models that have anti-picking, anti-drilling, and anti-pulling functions. These functions are available at affordable price levels and significantly hinder break-in attempts.
The anti-picking function is represented by the presence of diabolo pins. These are somewhat deformed and designed to block the rotating mechanism (activated by the key's rotation) and thus block the movement of the deadbolt (the bar that locks into the strike plate).
The anti-pulling function helps to secure and block the cylinder in its housing. The pulling technique consists of ejecting it from its place, which has the effect of completely nullifying your device's resistance. It is therefore very advantageous to have this function.
Finally, when you install a lock, make sure to choose accessories of the same level of security and to install everything according to usage/norms, taking into account the material and texture of the support. For example, installing a high-security lock on a drywall support is completely useless.
