Door-cylinder locks is part of Postma and Postma in Alkmaar: the specialist in the field of keys, locks and security since 1963. Over the past 60 years, we have closely followed developments in the field of security locks and cylinders.
We have had Pfaffenhain cylinder locks in our range since the early 1990s. We have been very satisfied with these security cylinders for 30 years. It is a solid cylinder lock with an excellent price-quality ratio. We stand 100% behind this German quality product, because we have already provided thousands of satisfied customers with these cylinder locks.
You initially use a good cylinder lock to open and lock the door yourself. For others it should be impossible to enter without a key. If a cylinder has an SKG star quality mark, we call it a security cylinder. This cylinder lock has several properties that make it difficult to manipulate or break open. An SKG 3*** cylinder meets the following points, which significantly reduce the risk of burglary:
For example, an SKG 2** security cylinder is not equipped with core pulling protection. Because core pulling is now a commonly used method for burglary, we always recommend installing an SKG 3-star cylinder or using SKG 3*** security fittings. This door fitting is already equipped with core pull protection.
Pfaffenhain produces several lines within its range. All cylinders have the SKG star quality mark. You can also opt for a keyed alike or certified cylinder. This is a cylinder with a security certificate or key card that you must always show if you want to order an additional key. Because it is not possible to make an additional key without a card, you as a card holder know exactly how many keys are in circulation.
Whether it concerns profile cylinders , knob cylinders or half cylinders , Pfaffenhain has them in its range. At Door Cylinder Locks you will find the door cylinder that meets all your requirements.

An SKG 3*** cylinder lock is the safest because this cylinder is equipped with core pulling protection. If the security fittings on your exterior door are equipped with core pulling protection, an SKG 2** cylinder will suffice. You can recognize the core pull protection in the door fittings by the rotating disc in front of the keyhole. If your front or back door fittings do not have core pulling protection, you can easily solve this by installing an SKG 3*** cylinder. In this way, the lock complies with current security standards to significantly reduce the risk of burglary.
An SKG 2 star or SKG 3 star certified cylinder lock is equipped with a key that cannot be easily copied. You can only have the keys counterfeited upon presentation of the certificate. The advantage of this is that you can safely give your key to your employees or to your neighbors or your daughter's boyfriend. They cannot have the key counterfeited without your knowledge.
We always work with small systems, so that the key cannot be copied after a few years. This is the case with major brands such as Nemef and Lips.
The size of a cylinder is expressed in millimeters. It is actually the length of the cylinder divided into two with the screw hole in the middle in steps of five millimeters with a minimum length of 30/30: or 60 millimeters. If the door is four centimeters, the cylinder is automatically 60 millimeters long, so the cylinder protrudes ten millimeters on both sides. This is for the fitting that is still on the door.
From the basic size of 30/30, the cylinder can always be five millimeters longer on one side. A commonly sold size, for example, is 30/45, this size is used on new-build doors that are thickened by fifteen millimeters on one side.
