Cylinder lock for the shed door — sturdy and weather-resistant
Expensive items are often stored in the shed: tools, bicycles, and garden machinery. Yet, many shed doors have a cheap cylinder. A good cylinder lock for the barn door not only keeps burglars out, but is also resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations — after all, a shed is less well insulated than your home.
Which cylinder lock do you choose for the shed?
For a detached shed, we recommend at least an SKG 2-star cylinder; if the shed adjoins your home or contains valuable items, choose a SKG 3 stars M&C cylinder with core pull protection. Our cylinders are made of high-quality brass and are highly resistant to moisture, ensuring the lock continues to operate smoothly even after years.
A handy item for the shed is a knob cylinder: on the inside, you turn a knob so you can exit without a key. Would you prefer to use the same key as your back door? Then choose a matching set.
Why a good sanding cylinder pays off
Burglars often use tools from a poorly secured shed to then break into the home. A strong cylinder on the shed door is therefore doubly important: it protects your belongings and prevents burglars from getting their hands on tools. We custom-make every cylinder to the thickness of your shed door.
Frequently asked questions
Which SKG class do I need for the shed?
For a detached shed, SKG 2 stars is often sufficient; for valuable items or a shed attached to the house, we recommend SKG 3 stars with core pull protection.
Is a knob cylinder useful for the shed?
Yes. With a knob cylinder, you open the shed door from the inside without a key, which is practical if you want to go outside quickly.
Can the shed be secured with the same key as my house?
Yes, with a keyed-alike set, your shed, back door, and front door work with one key.
