On-Site Modular Sizing Architecture
Modular Euro Profile Cylinders replace solid one-piece bodies with a modular brass chassis, allowing locksmiths to assemble custom lengths on demand.
Assembly Components
- Central Bridge Spine: Hardened alloy steel connecting bar available in modular incremental spans.
- Extension Spacers: Precision CNC brass segments in 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, and 20 mm lengths.
- Modular Cam Coupling: Segmented drive connectors that maintain rigid rotational torque up to 130 mm overall length.
Frequently Asked Engineering & Selection Questions
Q1: How do modular cylinder extension kits work?
They use a central steel connecting spine and 5mm brass extension blocks to customize cylinder lengths on-site without special machinery.
