Lever lock to euro cylinder conversion, “conversión de gorja a europerfil” in Spanish, means replacing a lever lock, the one with the large bit key, with a mechanism that works with a euro cylinder. On many security doors it is done with a kit that adapts to the existing lock; on others the whole lock is replaced.
Why it is done:
- Many old lever locks have few combinations and keys that are easy to reproduce.
- With a cylinder you can choose anti-bump, anti-break or anti-pull protection.
- If you lose your keys, from then on changing the cylinder is enough.
It is common on security doors that are a few years old, which are often found in the area.
It has to be done properly: the cylinder must be the right size and protected by a security escutcheon, because if it sticks out part of the improvement is lost. Send us a photo of the lock and of the edge of the door and we will tell you whether it takes a kit.
