Rim Cylinders

Advantages of Rim Cylinders

These cylinders offer a range of advantages such as:

• Superior Security: Mounted directly on the door's surface, often alongside robust exit devices and panic bars, rim cylinders create a stronger defense against unauthorized entry.
• Easy Installation & Maintenance: Their surface-mounted design allows faster installation times and easier maintenance than embedded cylinders, reducing overall costs.
• Adaptable to Diverse Hardware: Rim cylinders seamlessly integrate with various exit devices and panic bars, offering flexibility to tailor security solutions to specific needs, whether emergency egress functionality or enhanced security measures.
• Improved Key Management: Some rim cylinders feature interchangeable core options (Conventional Cylinder, FSIC, LFIC, SFIC). This allows for easier re-keying without replacing the entire unit, streamlining key control and management.
• Popular Products: Sargent 34 LA KD(Conventional Cylinder),Schlage 23-030-ICA-ORG(FSIC), Sargent 6034(LFIC), KSP 206-A-KD(SFIC)
• Clean Aesthetics: The surface-mounted design of rim cylinders contributes to a cleaner and more modern door appearance compared to traditional cylinders with protruding knobs or levers.
• Keying Customization: Offering flexibility in keying options like keyed differently (KD) for granular control over specific doors, ensuring access control aligns with your needs.
• Mechanism: Rim Cylinders Typically have a tailpiece that protrudes from the back of the cylinder and connects to the lock mechanism. On the other hand, Mortise Cylinders have a cam that rotates inside the door and interacts with the lock mechanism. For example: Some Sargent Rim Exit devices such as the 8804-F ETL storeroom function work with a Rim Cylinder a 34 LA. In comparison, the 8813-F ETL Classroom function utilizes a mortise cylinder due to the complexity of the classroom function. Key locks and unlocks are done using cam action to trigger the function.
