Oval cylinder

The oval cylinder , here as a design for a locking cylinder , is comparable to a profile cylinder , only it has an oval shape. In England, oval cylinders are common, which are largely identical to profile cylinders, i. H. have the locking nose in the middle and fasten them with the M5 screw. The Scandinavian oval cylinder, on the other hand, has a different design, it is screwed through the lock from behind and transmits the key movement via a driver plate. Other oval cylinders from the BKS company were on the market that were similar in structure to round cylinders . Other smaller oval cylinders are common for office furniture or cabinet locks.
