Security, Style, and Reliability for Every Door
When it comes to safeguarding your home or business, the right door hardware is not just an accessory – it’s a vital part of your security system. Frisco Cylinders and Escutcheons combine durability, precision engineering, and attractive design to deliver solutions that are both highly functional and visually appealing. Whether you’re upgrading an existing lock or fitting a new door, our selection of cylinders and escutcheons offers the perfect blend of safety and style.
What Are Cylinders and Escutcheons?
Before diving into the Frisco range, it’s worth understanding what these components do:
-
Door Cylinders – The locking mechanism that operates your door. They are inserted into the lock case and work with a key to provide access control. Available in different types, such as Euro cylinders, oval cylinders, and rim cylinders, they form the heart of your door’s security.
-
Escutcheons – Protective plates that surround the keyhole on a door. They not only prevent wear and tear to the door surface but also deter tampering and add a refined finishing touch to your door hardware.
Together, these elements are crucial for ensuring your doors remain both secure and stylish.
Frisco Cylinders – Built for Security and Reliability
At Frisco, quality and security go hand in hand. Our door cylinders are precision-engineered to deliver dependable performance and long-lasting durability. Manufactured from robust materials such as hardened steel and solid brass, they offer resistance against common break-in methods including:
-
Drilling – Hardened pins make it extremely difficult for intruders to drill through the lock.
-
Picking – Precision components reduce the risk of picking attempts succeeding.
-
Bumping – Anti-bump technology helps protect against forced entry techniques.
-
Snapping – Certain models are specifically designed with anti-snap protection for added peace of mind.
Whether for a residential front door or a high-security commercial application, Frisco cylinders meet stringent performance standards and can be supplied in various security grades to suit your needs.
Types of Frisco Cylinders Available
Our range includes:
-
Euro Profile Cylinders – Widely used in the UK, ideal for uPVC, aluminium, and timber doors. Available in single, double, and thumb-turn options.
-
Oval Cylinders – A smart choice for certain commercial or heritage locks where oval fittings are preferred.
-
Rim Cylinders – Designed for use with nightlatches, often seen on front doors in urban properties.
Many Frisco cylinders are keyed alike for convenience (one key for multiple doors) or master keyed for larger buildings, allowing different levels of access.
Frisco Escutcheons – Protection with a Touch of Elegance
While cylinders do the heavy work of locking, escutcheons provide an essential layer of both security and style. Our Frisco escutcheons are crafted to:
-
Protect the keyhole area from dirt, moisture, and wear.
-
Discourage forced entry attempts by shielding the lock.
-
Add a stylish finishing detail to your door hardware.
Available in open escutcheon designs (for standard key access) and covered escutcheons (with sliding or hinged covers for extra security and weather protection), the Frisco range offers both practical and decorative benefits.
