EN 1303 Cylinders for locks

✓ verified · Origin: Europe (harmonised)

Classification for cylinder durability, key differing, corrosion, temperature and — importantly for retrofit — attack resistance.

What it actually decides

  • Attack resistance class, which is what a TS007 or Sold Secure rating sits on top of
  • Key differing and key control
  • Durability grade

Applies to these lock types

Euro profile cylinder in a mortise case (DIN) · UK oval cylinder (uPVC and composite doors) · Multipoint locking system (uPVC / composite)

Why a retrofit designer cares

An integrated-cylinder smart lock must state its EN 1303 classification, otherwise the buyer cannot compare it with the cylinder it replaces.
