Description
Reliable Single Sided Security for Controlled Access Doors
Securing secondary access points such as side gates, garage doors, utility cupboards, and plant rooms requires hardware tailored to specific operational needs. Standard double cylinders or thumbturn locks are often unsuitable for these doors because internal turn knobs can compromise safety or breach building requirements. Installing the wrong cylinder format can result in accidental lockouts, key control confusion, and vulnerability to unauthorised tampering.
The Yale 417N 46mm Single Euro Cylinder Lock provides a dependable, dedicated solution designed specifically for single sided operation. Built by one of the most trusted names in British security, this lock delivers key access strictly from one side while remaining completely blank on the reverse. This makes it ideal for doors that only require controlled entry from the exterior, ensuring internal hardware stays neat, protected, and free from snagging hazards.
Featuring an elegant satin nickel finish, this compact cylinder offers both physical durability and visual appeal. It blends effortlessly with modern architectural ironmongery, whether fitted to timber, composite, aluminium, or steel door frames. For facility managers, landlords, and homeowners looking for dependable boundary security, this cylinder delivers peace of mind backed by proven engineering from Yale.
Key Operational Advantages
Purpose Built Single Sided Access
The single euro profile design is engineered purely for locations where internal access is neither necessary nor safe. It prevents internal cylinder manipulation and maintains a flat profile on the rear side of the door, making it perfect for store cupboards, roller shutters, and perimeter gates.
Standardised Euro Profile Compatibility
Manufactured to standard euro cylinder dimensions, the unit drops neatly into existing euro profile mortice deadlocks, sashlocks, and multi point locking cases. It offers a smooth replacement for worn hardware without the need for timber routing or complex door adjustments.
Durable Satin Nickel Finish
The clean satin nickel finish provides robust corrosion resistance for domestic and commercial environments. The brushed texture resists surface scratches, masks fingerprint marks, and pairs nicely with existing stainless steel or chrome door furniture.
Trusted Mechanical Reliability
Precision engineered internal pins and keyways ensure smooth key insertion and dependable turning action over years of daily use. Yale engineering reduces key wear and prevents sticking, providing consistent operational readiness in high frequency settings.

Installation and Maintenance Guide
Step 1. Measure and Verify Alignment
Check your door thickness and backset before installation. Measure from the centre of the fixing screw hole to the outer face of the door rose or handle backplate to confirm the 46mm dimension sits cleanly without excessive cylinder projection.
Step 2. Align the Rotating Cam
Insert your key into the lock and turn it slightly until the central drive cam aligns flush with the cylinder body. This allows the cylinder to slide smoothly through the door furniture cut out and directly into the mortice lock case.
Step 3. Secure the Retaining Screw
Locate the fixing hole on the faceplate of your mortice lock. Thread the retaining screw through the forend directly into the threaded hole of the Yale 417N 46mm Single Euro Cylinder Lock, tightening firmly with a hand screwdriver to avoid cross threading.
Step 4. Test Lock Functionality
Turn the key several times while the door remains open to ensure the deadbolt throws and retracts freely. Once checked, close the door and test the locking action again. Keep the lock running smoothly with an occasional dry PTFE dry lubricant spray.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a single euro cylinder mean?
A single euro cylinder, also referred to as a half cylinder, features key operation on one side only. The back of the cylinder is solid metal, meaning there is no keyhole or thumbturn on the interior side. This configuration is widely used on cupboards, padbars, panic exit hardware, and perimeter doors.
Can this cylinder be used on external garage doors?
Yes, this cylinder is well suited for garage doors, roller shutter switches, and side access gates that only require key opening from the outside. Its satin nickel finish provides solid protection against typical weather exposure.
How do I correctly measure a half cylinder?
Cylinder measurements are taken from the centre of the fixing screw hole. A single cylinder measurement consists of the distance from the screw hole to the key face side, alongside the compact blind body measurement to the back of the cam.
What type of lubricant should I use?
You should always use a dedicated dry graphite or PTFE cylinder spray. Avoid using thick oils, grease, or WD40 multi purpose fluid, as wet lubricants attract dust and grit which can jam the internal pin springs over time.
