Double Key Cylinders with Independent Core Rotation for Dual-Entry Portals

Engineering Overview: Technical analysis of double Euro cylinders with independent internal core couplings for security air-locks and prison sally ports.

Technical & Engineering Specifications

Material Hardened 40Cr Steel Cam & Brass Body
Standard EN 1303 Class 6
Operation Isolated core rotation (No key back-drive)
Cylinder Type Independent Dual-Clutch Euro Double Cylinder

Independent Core Coupling

In prison sally ports, operating the exterior key must not rotate the interior key plug, preventing key traps.

Independent Core Mechanics

  • Dual Clutch Separator: Each plug rotates independently, driving the central cam without back-driving the opposing key plug.
