Euro lock

My question here, is what makes the difference between an Euro lock, an euro style lock and a lock

by **dougfarre** » 14 Dec 2007 16:57

Euro Lock -> Lock that is usually found in Europe, regardless of the style.

Euro Style Lock -> Can be in regards to many things. Most often though, is being talked about profile cylinders. Which im sure you have seen before on the forums. Profile cylinders are not found very often in the west.

Lock -> A small, approximately finger-size bit of wool that tends to stay together when shorn from the sheep.

Duh.

an euro lock is a lock, that just comes from europe. OK

A profile cylinder, that i don't get!

is it a lock installed upside down?

And the differences in the way they operate? Nothing at all, except they are designed to different specifications. And European locks generally have a reputation being plated in chrome and full of small pieces of German engineering that wears away after you hit about 50,000 lock turns, even though you have taken your lock in at every scheduled matenence check required by the dealership... eh i mean lock manufacture.
