Euro cylinders

[jsw1]

Just wondering what is the most common size for a euro cylinder in the uk, there is loads of different sizes just wondering on average whats most common? is it 35-10-55?

well out of 14 euros i have 8 are 25-10-25 and the rest are all odd sizes.

In my area 35-10-45 is the commonest, I carry about 20 different sizes in the van in both Nickel Plate and Polished Brass. Plus Thumb Turns and Ovals of different sizes and finishes. Sadly some locksmiths don't carry such a range and customers end up with cylinders protruding out of the handles making them vulnerable to snapping.

interesting way of describing their length... You are using millimeters for this, aren't you?

In Germany, of course mm are used, too,
but it's always "30-30" for what you would call "25-10-25"

Cheers,

yes ive always seen it listed with 2 sizes not 3 as the cams are all basically the same size.

I carry 4 locks of every size in both brass and satin, i use pretty much all of them from time to time,

If your wondering about stocking up you really need to build up to the same (although maybe 1 of each to begin with?) as fitting the wrong lock can easily make the home insecure to burlgry,

In such a case i would advise the 30-30, 35-35, 40-40, 35-40, 30-35, 30-40 locks to be the ones to stock from the begining but it is very area dependant,
