Deadbolt Cylinders

What Is a Deadbolt Cylinder?

The deadbolt cylinder is a key part of a deadbolt lock where the key is inserted to operate the lock. Inside the cylinder are pins and springs that align with the grooves on the key. When the correct key is used, it moves the pins into position, allowing the cylinder to turn. Turning the key activates the deadbolt mechanism, resulting in the bolt extending into or retracting from the door frame, locking or unlocking the door.

Key Features of Deadbolt Cylinders

Here are some top features of deadbolt cylinders:

• Key Mechanism: The cylinder is where the key operates the lock and has pins that align with the notches in the key, allowing it to rotate when the correct key is used.
• Bolt Extension: The cylinder is connected to the deadbolt, which extends into the door frame when locked, making it more difficult to force the door open.
• Better Security: These commercial door hardware parts are designed to provide a higher level of security compared to spring latches, as the bolt is solid and requires more force to be tampered with or bypassed.
• Diverse Finishes: These door deadbolt cylinder parts are offered in different finishes like Satin Nickel US15-619 and Satin Brass US4-606 which offers aesthetic appeal.
• Materials: These cylinders are typically made of durable materials like brass, steel, or other hardened metals to resist tampering and wear.
• Compatibility: Deadbolt cylinders are designed to fit specific deadbolt lock sets and can often be replaced or rekeyed without replacing the entire lock.
