Cylinder lock insert (symmetrical) MEGA 62 mm 24662 brass

MEGA symmetrical cylinder lock insert model 24662 is a 62 mm brass euro-profile cylinder designed for mechanical key-operated locking and unlocking of doors. Intended as a direct replacement or upgrade for euro-profile cylinder fittings, this brass cylinder fits doors that require a 62 mm overall cylinder length and is suitable for both residential and light commercial applications. The symmetrical keyway allows the same key profile on both sides, simplifying keying and installation where a double-cylinder configuration is used.

Advantages

The brass construction provides corrosion resistance and consistent mechanical performance in a typical door environment. The symmetrical design offers straightforward installation and compatibility with standard euro-profile lock cases and door furniture. Its 62 mm length matches common door thicknesses, reducing the need for additional adapters or modifications. The mechanical operation is simple and durable, with a focus on reliable daily use.

Suitable for

• Replacement of worn or damaged euro-profile cylinders in residential exterior doors
• Upgrading interior door locks to a brass euro cylinder
• Doors requiring a 62 mm euro-profile cylinder length
• Applications where a symmetrical double-cylinder configuration is needed

Key specifications

• Profile type: Euro-profile cylinder
• Overall length: 62 mm
• Material: Brass
• Operation: Mechanical key-operated on both sides (symmetrical)
• Suitable for: Interior and exterior residential and light commercial doors

How to use

Measure the existing cylinder or door thickness to confirm a 62 mm cylinder is appropriate. To replace an old cylinder, remove the fixing screw from the door edge, extract the existing cylinder, insert the MEGA 62 mm brass cylinder so the cam aligns correctly with the lock case, and secure it with the fixing screw. Test the key operation on both sides to ensure smooth locking and unlocking before closing the door. If necessary, adjust door handles or escutcheons to accommodate the new cylinder length.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, lubricate the keyway with a graphite-based or dry lock lubricant at regular intervals and avoid using oil-based products that attract dust. Verify door thickness and lock case compatibility before purchase, and follow standard safety procedures when replacing cylinders on external doors. If added security is required, consider combining the cylinder with appropriate door hardware and reinforced strike plates.
