Door hardware For most end users, a vertical cylinder is the expected and most natural installation; whether they are opening the front door to their property or their double doors onto the garden. But different designs of door, different property layouts and personal preference all have an influence on whether a vertical or horizontal 3* cylinder is the most appropriate choice. Personal preference Personal preference is usually the key driver for the choice between a vertical and a horizontal cylinder, but it’s important to understand the needs of the end user to ensure that the installation is aligned to the requirements. HORIZONTAL VS VERTICAL Julian Roberts, Technical Services Director at UAP, discusses the vertical and horizontal models in the UAP Fullex Kinetica+ K4 range and provides top tips on selecting the most appropriate model. This includes a consideration of the installation environment, along with the position of the cylinder in the door. Sometimes, where a vertical cylinder might be the obvious choice, a horizontal cylinder can provide a solution to a spatial issue, for example, or there may be aesthetic factors to consider. In many ways, whether a vertical or horizontal cylinder is chosen is immaterial, because both options are usually equally simple to install and use. Both can be keyed alike, to enable the end user to operate more than one lock with a single key if, for example, they have a pair of double doors, or they want to use the same key to access their home at both the front and the rear.

In reality, if they are Secured by Design Left: Julian Roberts; Above and below: The UAP Fullex Kinetica+ K4 horizontal cylinder “In many ways, whether a vertical or horizontal cylinder is chosen is immaterial, because both options are usually equally simple to install and use” accredited, BSI 3* Kitemarked, and Sold Secure Diamond Standard approved, both vertical and horizontal cylinders will provide a robust level of security that makes it extremely difficult for criminals to break. Nonetheless, perceptions can carry substantial value, both for residents and insurance companies. For developers constructing retirement villages and assisted living projects, offering assurances of the number of different key combinations provided by the cylinder installed is another marketing message to add into the mix.
