Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a single cylinder and double cylinder deadbolt?
A single cylinder deadbolt has a key cylinder on the exterior side and a thumbturn or similar non-keyed mechanism on the interior side, allowing free egress without a key. A double cylinder deadbolt requires a key on both sides. This single cylinder configuration provides convenient interior exit while maintaining exterior security, and is the preferred configuration for most residential and commercial applications. - Will this cylinder fit my existing Lockwood deadbolt?
This cylinder is designed specifically for Lockwood Symmetry Series single cylinder deadbolts. It is not compatible with other Lockwood deadbolt series such as 001, 002, 355, or non-Symmetry products. Verify your deadbolt is from the Symmetry range before ordering. The deadbolt body should have Symmetry Series identification markings. - Can I rekey this cylinder to match my existing keys?
Rekeying requires professional locksmith service with appropriate pinning kits and tools. If your existing locks use Lockwood keying, a locksmith can rekey this cylinder to match your current key code. If the cylinder supports OneCyl interchangeable cores, cylinder replacement rather than traditional rekeying may be the more efficient option for key system changes. - How does the OneCyl system work with deadbolt cylinders?
OneCyl allows the cylinder core to be removed and replaced using a control key without dismounting the deadbolt from the door. This enables rapid rekeying by swapping cylinder cores rather than repinning. The control key must be safeguarded to prevent unauthorised cylinder removal. OneCyl is particularly valuable in commercial environments where lock changes are required due to lost keys or staff turnover. - What does black chrome finish provide compared to standard chrome?
Black chrome is a dark, gunmetal-coloured finish that provides contemporary aesthetic appeal while maintaining corrosion resistance properties. It coordinates with modern architectural hardware trends toward darker finishes. The black chrome coating provides similar durability to standard chrome but with a distinctive appearance. Finish selection should match the deadbolt trim and other door hardware for aesthetic consistency.
Additional Information
- Single Cylinder Deadbolt Function:
Single cylinder deadbolts provide keyed security from the exterior while allowing free egress from the interior via thumbturn, lever, or similar non-keyed mechanism. This configuration complies with egress requirements in most building codes, as occupants can exit without locating a key during emergencies. Single cylinder is the standard configuration for residential and most commercial applications. - Lockwood Symmetry Deadbolt Compatibility:
This cylinder is engineered specifically for Lockwood Symmetry Series deadbolts. The Symmetry range uses modular components that are not cross-compatible with other Lockwood deadbolt families. Attempting to install this cylinder in non-Symmetry deadbolts will result in improper fit and function. Always verify the deadbolt series before ordering replacement cylinders. - Installation Requirements:
Installation requires removing the existing cylinder from the Symmetry deadbolt and installing the replacement cylinder according to manufacturer instructions. The cylinder must align correctly with the deadbolt mechanism to ensure proper bolt throw and key operation. Improper installation can result in bolt misalignment, difficult key operation, or incomplete locking. Professional installation by a qualified locksmith is recommended. - Keying Options and Flexibility:
This cylinder accepts standard Lockwood keying profiles including restricted profiles for enhanced key control. The cylinder can be supplied keyed to code (pre-keyed), keyed alike (multiple cylinders operating with the same key), keyed different (each cylinder with unique key), or incorporated into master key systems. Keying arrangements should be specified at time of order or can be established through locksmith service. - OneCyl Interchangeable Core System:
The OneCyl platform allows building operators to change cylinder cores using a control key without locksmith attendance. This reduces rekeying costs and enables immediate response to security events. The control key removes the cylinder core from the housing, allowing a pre-keyed replacement core to be installed. The deadbolt itself remains mounted on the door throughout the process. - Black Chrome Finish Characteristics:
Black chrome provides a dark gunmetal appearance achieved through specialised electroplating processes. This finish is increasingly specified in contemporary residential and commercial projects where darker hardware tones are desired. The finish provides corrosion resistance similar to standard chrome but requires appropriate maintenance. Black chrome can show fingerprints and water spots more readily than lighter finishes. - Security Considerations:
Deadbolt security depends on proper installation, adequate bolt throw into the door frame, and appropriate strike plate reinforcement. The cylinder provides key control and pick resistance, but the overall system security relies on the complete installation. For high-security applications, consider restricted keying profiles, security strikes, and reinforced door frames. - Finish Matching:
Cylinder finish should match the deadbolt exterior trim, interior thumbturn or mechanism, and other door hardware for aesthetic consistency. Lockwood Symmetry components are available in coordinated finishes across the range. When ordering replacement cylinders, verify the existing deadbolt finish to ensure proper match. Finish mismatches are visually apparent and may affect property presentation. - Non-Returnable Policy:
Deadbolt cylinders are non-returnable due to security protocols governing keyed components. Once a cylinder has been removed from secure storage and packaging, key control cannot be verified. This policy protects end users from potential compromise of keyed components. Careful verification of compatibility, keying requirements, and finish selection before purchase is essential.
