Centurion Antique Brass Euro Cylinder Lock, 70mm Double Profile

Antique Brass Euro Cylinder

The Centurion Antique Cylinder Lock serves as a high-security replacement or new-installation component for doors requiring a Euro-profile barrel. Manufactured from solid brass with a chemically aged finish, this hardware component ensures long-term resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear in high-traffic residential or commercial environments.

Built for the Job

This barrel is designed for locksmiths and site supervisors who need to match existing antique-finish ironmongery without compromising on internal security mechanisms. The double-cylinder configuration allows for keyed entry and exit from both sides of the leaf, making it a standard choice for main entrance doors or office partitions. Because it follows the universal Euro-profile dimensions, it fits most standard mortice locks currently used in the Kenyan construction sector. Contractors frequently specify this model when refurbishing older properties where a modern bright brass or chrome finish would clash with the established aesthetic.

• Retrofitting into existing Euro-profile mortice locks on timber or metal doors.

• Installation in commercial office suites requiring uniform keyed-alike potential.

• New builds where antique brass hardware is specified for exterior entry points.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Ensure the central cam is aligned with the cylinder body before sliding into the mortice lock to prevent jamming the internal lever.

• Do not use oil-based lubricants; use graphite powder to maintain the internal pins and ensure smooth key rotation.

• Verify the door thickness including escutcheon plates to ensure the 70mm length provides a flush finish without excessive protrusion.
