Replacing the cylinder on a night latch? A rim cylinder is the round cylinder on the outside of a timber door that works a surface-fixed night latch (the type often called a Yale lock) on the inside. We stock the Avocet ABS high security rim cylinder, including a version keyed alike to your ABS code so it matches your other Avocet ABS locks.
Check the door thickness and the connecting bar before you order. Rim cylinders are fixed from inside with screws into the back of the cylinder.
The cylinder and its connecting bar must suit the thickness of your door. Check the product listing for the range it fits.
The flat bar on the back of the cylinder goes into the night latch. It is usually cut to length to suit the door.
Choose the keyed-alike-to-code version to match your existing Avocet ABS cylinders.
From inside, remove the night latch case (usually a few screws), then undo the two screws that hold the cylinder to the door. Pull the old cylinder out from outside, fit the new one through the same hole, trim the connecting bar if needed, and refit the screws and latch. Check the key opens the latch before closing the door.
A rim cylinder is round and works a surface-fixed night latch. A euro cylinder is the long, profile-shaped lock used in uPVC and composite door multipoint locks.
Yes, with Avocet ABS. The keyed-alike-to-code version matches your other Avocet ABS cylinders.
