dual/split cam profile cylinder ??

[HowardK]

Howdy Folks,

 

Bear with me as I do not think I know the proper nomenclature,

 

I am looking for a source for profile cylinders with a dual/split cam, if there is such cylinder assembly ??

 

In other words, not a solid cam in the middle, but actually 2 cams or I guess split cams in the middle,

 

Also, is there a site or paper or PDF that explains, the parts, types of profile cylinders, cam types etc ??

 

Thanking You In Advance

Do you mean a cylinder that works from the outside even if a key is in the cylinder on the inside ?

 

I got 1 yesterday from Aldridges, they call it External Key Over-ride.

Mul t lock do a split camb cylinder. Also I think I've had them off Evva in the past.

We do a 70mm twin cam euro, part number PBM/35/35.

The cylinders you are describing sound like they could be for Banham.

 

Grundmann, Evva, Anker, Abus and a few others can supply a cylinder with a split cam but they are really expensive.

 

Think you mean this.

Cisa astral cylinders have a clutch system so a key can be operated from both sides at the same time.

 

I have also had some key and turn euro cylinders from Evva for a childrens home where the key will overide a Thumbturn

so the child cannot lock themselves in a room.

 

Most manufacturers of lock cylinders produce all manner of differing cylinder operation (cog wheel cams and so on) you

really need to specify what they will be used for to get the best cylinder for the job.

Thank You All for your responses,

 

I am still learning about profile cylinders slowly,

I will see if the person inquiring can photo & measure
