Smart lock with cylinder — smart and secure opening
Create a smart lock with cylinder combines the best of two worlds: the convenience of smart opening with your smartphone, PIN code, or fingerprint, and the burglary resistance of a certified SKG★★★ cylinder lockAt MC-Cilinder, you supply both as a single ready-made set, tailored to your door.
After all, a smart lock is only as secure as the cylinder behind it. That is why we supply every smart lock with a matching cylinder as standard. M&C cylinder with core pull protection — that way you don't have to figure anything out yourself and everything works right away.
Why always a smart lock together with a good cylinder?
A smart lock is installed on the inside of your door and turns your cylinder open and closed. The physical security therefore remains entirely dependent on that cylinder. If you choose a weak cylinder, your smart lock can still be easily forced using methods such as core pulling or the bumping method.
We therefore always recommend a M&C cylinder with SKG 3-star certification, equipped with core pull protection and anti-drill protection. Popular choices are the M&C Condor and the M&C MinosThis is how you combine smart convenience with genuine burglary resistance.
Which smart lock do you choose for your cylinder?
We supply two leading brands, both perfectly combinable with a M&C SKG3 cylinder:
Tedee — our recommendation
The most compact and quietest smart lock, modularly constructed with the M&C cylinder. Ideal for those who want a sleek, unobtrusive solution that works smoothly every day.
Nuki — strong in smart home
It is installed over your existing cylinder and excels in smart home integrations (Apple Home, Google, Alexa, Matter). A good choice if you want to automate a lot.

At MC-Cilinder, you order the smart lock directly together with a custom-made M&C cylinder. We match the cylinder to your door thickness and ensure it is operable from both sides — a requirement for most smart locks. This prevents installation problems and ensures everything works immediately.
