Types of Commercial Lock Cylinder

If you own or manage a commercial facility or business, it's important to invest in high-quality commercial lock cylinder models for the protection of your property and employees. With the right lock cylinder, you can prevent unauthorized entry into your building or business premises, while deterring criminals from gaining entry through a compromised or broken lock. A quality lock cylinder will help to keep your building, property, or facility safe from burglary, vandalism, and property damage. There are many different locking cylinder options available for use in commercial applications including keyless locking cylinder devices, commercial Mortise Lock cylinder products, commercial rolling lock cylinder products, and other key lock cylinder products.

The most common commercial cylinder locks used in commercial applications are cylinder deadbolt locks. Deadbolt cylinder locks secure a property with the use of a simple turn lock mechanism. Deadbolt cylinder locks can provide the utmost security by preventing access to all areas of a facility and commercial or residential property. They can be installed using a standard eight-inch bolt from standard commercial grade bolts, or they can be installed using a specialized eight-inch strike plate lock installation kit. Some commercial mortise lock cylinder products are also available with a keyed cylinder, which makes it easier to add new keys to the lock rather than needing to cut through the bolt and remove old keys.

The most popular types of commercial lock cylinder for indoor construction purposes are the solid brass cylinder locks. Solid brass cylinder locks come in a wide array of different finishes and designs. These lock cylinder products are very reliable for securing properties, since they require no key to open the door. Some of these lock cylinder products, especially those that are made of solid brass, can also be installed using only a screwdriver without requiring any tools or drilling. Other commercial lock cylinder options for indoor construction applications include using door contacts, double cylinder lock systems, and double cylinder locks with key slots.
