Cylinder Locks Cylinder locks can be installed on uPVC wood, composite or timber doors. They are comprised of two components - the lock, which is activated by the door latch or dead bolt and the cylinder that controls it. This design allows for both of these parts to be changed separately in the event of need. This is useful in the event that one of the parts isn't working properly or if you wish to upgrade to a better security cylinder. The lock cylinder is the part that receives the key, and it is equipped with a set of pins within. When a key that is correct is placed in the lock and the notches on the key push the pins to different levels so that they can rotate and unlock the door. If you use a wrong key, the notches will not align and the majority of the pins remain in their normal position. There are a myriad of cylinder locks including pin tumblers with basic designs to high-security variants that can be resistant to a variety of lock picking methods.

They increase the security of a double door and allow for greater access than rods that exit vertically. They are also suitable for hurricane and fire-rated doors. In a typical installation, the mullion is joined to the frame head and anchored to the floor during the construction. Some mullions can be removed. This makes them an ideal option for commercial projects in which the location of doors may change frequently. If a business owner wishes to construct a back entrance for employees, they can remove the mullion, allowing larger furniture to be able to pass through. Traditional mullions require the removal of bolts or screws from fittings which are set into the floor and on top of the door frame. This is usually a time consuming and labor intensive process that requires two people. In time, repeated removals can cause the fittings and mullions loosen. Additionally, when the mullion isn't in position, carts, gurneys and large machines aren't able traverse the doorway.
