Cylinder housing explained simply. This is where the cylinder core rotates!

The cylinder housing is the component of the lock cylinder in which the cylinder core rotates, enabling the locking and unlocking of a door lock from both sides. In double-sided locks, a cylinder core is inserted into the housing from each side and connected by a coupling. The locking bolt (driver) is responsible for locking and unlocking the lock. The locking bolt, drive hub, and coupling are not explicitly part of the cylinder housing. A recess for the locking bolt is provided in the cylinder housing.

Expert Repair of Cylinder Housing Components
Is there a problem with your cylinder housing or with a component located inside it? Can the correct profile key no longer turn the cylinder core? Are the tumblers and pin springs in the cylinder housing simply no longer doing what they’re supposed to, making a repair necessary? Feel free to contact the experienced Amper Locksmith Service! We can get your lock cylinder working perfectly again.
Sometimes, and we’re being honest here, it makes more sense to completely replace the lock cylinder along with its components such as the cylinder housing, cylinder core, locking bolt, etc., than to attempt repairs. Why? Because the repairs would simply be too expensive. After assessing the situation on-site, we’ll gladly advise you in detail on which option is best for you: replacement or repair!
