ARCHITECTURAL LOCKCASES & CYLINDERS
Architectural Lockcases & Cylinders
CES Softline cylinders are available as
standard differ stock, keyed alike or
master keyed to individual requirements.
Because CES Softline cylinders operate on
6 pins and multiple sections, they are
equally suitable for complex grand master
keyed suites.
The diagrams on these pages give a guide
to the many keying arrangements possible
with CES Softline cylinders. There is often
confusion between keyed alike locks and
a straight master keyed system. In a
keyed alike arrangement all the locks
operate using the same key. However in a
straight master keyed suite all the locks
can operate off different keys, but
another key (called the master key) will
open them all.
Master keyed suites often have Sub
Suites. Examples of this could be seen in
a small hotel where the hotel manager
has a master key to open all doors. A
Keyed Alike Suites (KA)
KA (keyed alike)
In keyed alike arrangements all the
cylinders are operated by the same
key. The CES Softline rim cylinders
can also be keyed alike to the euro
profile and oval cylinders. This is
useful where a combination of
mortice lock cases and cylinder rim
nightlatches are being used.
chambermaid could have a sub master to
open a range of bedroom doors only but
none of the offices for instance. An
individual room key in this arrangement
is referred to as a servant key.
Varying degrees of complexity can be
achieved to suit a variety of needs and
examples of these are shown in the
accompanying diagrams.
The common entrance suite is useful in
student's accommodation or a block of
flats. This suite removes the need to hold
two keys, i.e. one for the front door and
one for an individual room. A common
entrance key will open the front door and
the individual room.
In any master keyed suite, regardless
of size it is wise to look ahead to
future growth. Provision can be made
in the suite for extensions at a later
date. This is always easier to do at the
time the suite is created.
Common Entrance Suite (CL)
CL (common entrance)
Common entrance suites are
designed to enable a tenant to use
the same key for his own private
doors as well as doors common to
other residents within the same
buildings. The common entrance
feature can be incorporated within
any master key suite.
