Euro Profile V10 Single Cylinder 46mm – Keyed Alike (KA31)

V10 Single Cylinder Keyed Alike (KA) is the professional’s benchmark for one-sided, high-security access control. In the world of architectural ironmongery, the V10 series is synonymous with precision engineering, designed to offer superior defense against sophisticated bypass techniques while providing the mechanical convenience of a Keyed Alike (KA) system for multi-point commercial and industrial environments.

By integrating a dual-row, 10-pin system into a specialized “Half Cylinder” format (typically a 32/10 asymmetric split), the V10 Single Cylinder Keyed Alike provides a tamper-proof “blind” internal face and a highly complex internal architecture that allows for seamless “one-key” operation across an entire facility.

The “V10” system is defined by its internal 10-pin dual-row mechanism. This high pin count is a critical requirement for high-security applications, as it provides the mathematical complexity necessary to maintain a BS EN 1303 Grade 6 security rating even when multiple cylinders are pinned to the same key code.

• Operational Efficiency: The “Keyed Alike” feature allows a single key to open every gate, rolling shutter, and garage door on a property. This reduces the weight and complexity of key bundles for facility managers and security personnel while ensuring rapid access during emergencies.

• Pick & Bump Immunity: The dual-row configuration of hardened steel pins creates a significantly more complex shear line than standard 5 or 6-pin locks. This makes the V10 virtually immune to traditional picking and kinetic “bumping” techniques often used to exploit lower-grade cylinders.

• Restricted Key Control: V10 cylinders are supplied with a unique security code card. This ensures that duplicate keys cannot be cut at a standard high-street locksmith without proof of authorization, giving property owners total control over their key distribution.

• Hardened Drill Defense: The cylinder face is reinforced with high-density hardened steel pins and a ceramic internal plate. This system is designed to shatter or dull high-speed drill bits, protecting the pin stacks from destructive entry.

Precision Sizing: The 32/10 Asymmetric Split

A V10 Single Cylinder Keyed Alike is measured from the center of the fixing screw to each end. In this configuration, the 32mm external reach is optimized for modern building materials that require a flush, professional fit.

Architectural Tip: The 32mm external offset is specifically tailored for slimline aluminum shopfronts and narrow-profile commercial doors. It ensures the cylinder sits flush with the handle escutcheon, eliminating the “shoulder” protrusion that burglars use to grip and snap a lock with pliers or specialized tools.

Installation Pro-Tip: The “8-Position” Universal Cam

One of the most valuable features of the V10 Single Cylinder Keyed Alike is its adjustable cam. Because different brands of garage door locks and shutter mechanisms require the internal actuator (the cam) to sit at different starting angles, the V10 is designed for universal compatibility.

1. Locate the small spring-loaded pin on the side of the cylinder body.

2. Depress the pin and manually rotate the cam to the desired angle (typically 30° or 45°).

3. Release the pin to lock the cam into position. This ensures that the key can be inserted and turned without the cam “binding” against the internal stops of the lock case.

Simplify access management with the V10 Single Cylinder Keyed Alike, designed for smooth operation and convenient keying. This cylinder allows multiple locks to be operated by the same key, reducing the need for multiple keys while maintaining secure locking for doors. The 46mm Euro profile ensures a precise and secure fit for standard doors, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and multi-unit properties.

Manufactured from premium-grade materials, the V10 Single Cylinder Keyed Alike is built to resist tampering, forced entry, and daily wear, providing long-lasting durability. Its keyed alike system simplifies access across multiple doors without compromising security, making it perfect for offices, homes, and multi-door installations. Easy to install and designed for consistent use, this V10 Single Cylinder Keyed Alike combines strength, convenience, and reliable protection.
