In contrast to the double cylinder<\/a>, a half cylinder can only be locked from one side. While a double cylinder is used in particular for house and apartment doors, a half cylinder is used, for example, for garage doors, cabinets \/ cabinet doors, alarm system locks, window handles, or lockable safes.<\/p>\n

\"Halbzylinder<\/p>\n

Like double cylinders, half cylinders are available in a wide variety of lengths in specialist stores. However, the basic length is 30 mm. Thus, most gates, doors, locks, and co. are also aligned to this basic length.<\/p>\n

Half cylinders with a thumbturn are also available on the market (also called thumbturn cylinders). A special feature of this cylinder type is that there is no key here. Thus, the half cylinder with a thumbturn is particularly suitable where the door should only be able to be unlocked and locked from the inside, without requiring a key for the opening or closing process.<\/p>\n
