Introducing EUROSPAN‑6™: A New Standard for Offset & Extended Euro Cylinders
LOCKTON is proud to introduce the EUROSPAN‑6™ Offset & Extended Euro Cylinder System — a purpose-built solution designed to solve one of the most common challenges faced by locksmiths, installers, and specifiers.
When door thickness or lock positioning falls outside standard dimensions, achieving correct cylinder fitment can often require compromises. EUROSPAN‑6 removes that compromise.
Built to Span Distance, the EUROSPAN‑6 range delivers accurate cylinder projection, clean installation, and reliable operation — without the need for spacers, modifications, or complex assembly.
Solving a Common Installation Challenge
Standard Euro cylinders are designed around standard door conditions. However, real-world applications increasingly demand flexibility:
- Offset lock positioning
- Oversized or solid-core doors
- Smart lock retrofits
- Non-standard architectural installations
In these scenarios, cylinders are often left recessed within door furniture, impacting usability, aesthetics, and overall performance.
EUROSPAN™‑6 addresses this directly — providing a true working solution where standard cylinders fall short.
Designed for Practical Installation
At the heart of EUROSPAN‑6 is a simple yet effective extended internal rod system, allowing installers to achieve correct cylinder length without the complexity typically associated with extended or modular solutions.
This enables:
- The use of standard Euro barrels
- Compatibility with inline restricted systems
- Elimination of specialised components or custom assemblies
The result is a system that is both robust and straightforward to install, reducing time on-site while improving final outcomes.
One System – Multiple Key Platforms
EUROSPAN‑6 has been engineered with flexibility in mind.
The system supports:
- 6‑Pin C4 configurations
- Optional 5‑Pin conversion using the EUROSPAN‑5™ kit range
This allows locksmiths and distributors to standardise on a single solution, while still meeting a wide range of customer requirements and keying systems.
Configuration Options for Real-World Applications
EUROSPAN‑6 is available in both OFFSET and EXTENDED configurations:
OFFSET Cylinders (Unequal Projection)
Designed for doors where the lock position is not centrally aligned:
- 35 / 45 mm
- 35 / 55 mm
- 35 / 65 mm
- 35 / 75 mm
EXTENDED Cylinders (Equal Projection)
Ideal for thick or oversized doors:
- 45 / 45 mm
- 55 / 55 mm
These configurations cover the most common non-standard applications, providing a reliable and consistent solution across installations.
Built for Locksmith Efficiency
EUROSPAN‑6 has been developed with the installer in mind.
Key benefits include:
- Correct cylinder positioning for improved usability
- Quick rekey capability for faster job completion
- Reduced installation complexity
- Compatibility with existing systems and components
By simplifying the installation process, EUROSPAN™‑6 helps reduce time on-site while delivering a more professional finish.
