Hi everyone,

We recently moved into a new home and after moving in i replaced all the euro cylinders on the 4 external pvc doors with new anti snap ones. They are 55/45 euro cylinders, keyed alike.

Not long after we decided to renovate the kitchen and part of the renovation was to remove and brick up the external door there, so now i have a spare euro cylinder from that door.

I also recently purchased a new wood external door for the garage which is 45mm thick.

Rather than not use a good anti snap keyed alike euro cylinder, is there any door hardware i can buy that will allow it to be installed in a 45mm door so it wont stick out too much and be secure?

Thanks,
Jonathan

I think that buying a shorter cylinder is the answer. Your current one is 100mm overall, for most 45mm doors you only need a 35/35 (70m overall). No door handles will cover this difference. You could get another shorter cylinder to the same difference
