Hey all,
I'm looking for a replacement oval cylinder lock. It's for an aluminium door and the overall depth of the handles and door is only 44mm. This makes me think that the correct length replacement cylinder would be around 50mm. At the moment, the cylinder that is fitted is 80mm which means there is approx. 18mm protruding either side of the handle. This has made the actual cylinder become a little loose, as there is obviously more leverage when putting the key in and out, and I would assume means it is more prone to lock snapping or bumping??
I can only find 60, 70 and 80mm cylinders so my questions are:
Can you get an oval cylinder that is only 50mm (25/25) long, or would I need to use a 60mm one?
Is a 60mm cylinder easy to snap if it is protruding 7-8mm on the outside of the handle?
Cheers
