What is a double cylinder? Double cylinders explained simply!

You know what a locking cylinder is, but you are not quite sure what exactly is meant by a double cylinder? Then you have come to the right blog. Because here, the experts from Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier explain what terms like double cylinder actually refer to.

Definition of Double Cylinder

A double cylinder is a locking cylinder that has a so-called keyway on both the inside and the outside. Thanks to these two keyways, a house or apartment door equipped with a profile cylinder lock and a double cylinder can be locked and unlocked from both sides.

In contrast to the double cylinder, a half cylinder can only be locked from one side. Locks with a half cylinder are installed on garage doors, for example, as a garage door generally only needs to be lockable from the outside.

A double cylinder is commonly installed on house and apartment doors, which is why the double cylinder is the most frequently used locking cylinder in Germany.
