Sdc RIM-CYL-KA Rim Cylinder Keyed Alike

Product Description

The SDC - SECURITY DOOR CONTROLS RIM-CYL-KA is a rim cylinder configured for keyed-alike operation, designed for use in commercial and residential door hardware applications. A rim cylinder mounts on the surface of a door and interfaces with a rim latch or exit device, converting a key turn into a mechanical latch or lock action. Keyed-alike configuration means multiple cylinders operate on a single key, a standard requirement for facilities that need simplified key management across multiple entry points. Locksmiths, access control technicians, and commercial door hardware installers work with this component during new installations and retrofit projects.

This rim cylinder is suited for installation on wood, hollow metal, or aluminum doors where a surface-mount locking solution is required. It is commonly paired with rim-style exit devices, night latches, and electric strikes in commercial buildings, schools, multifamily residential properties, and light industrial facilities. Keyed-alike configurations are frequently specified on projects where a master key system is not required but consistent keying across doors is.

Key Features

• Keyed-alike configuration simplifies key management across multiple doors on a single key
• Rim-mount design for surface installation on doors without a mortise or bored cylindrical prep
• Compatible with standard rim latch and exit device tailpieces
• Sold as a single unit, suitable for individual replacement or multi-unit keyed-alike sets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation rim cylinder for surface-mount rim latches and exit devices that accept a standard rim cylinder format.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified door hardware technician. Before servicing or replacing a rim cylinder, ensure the door is in the open position and any connected electric hardware is powered down. A drill, hole saw, and appropriate cylinder mounting screws are typically required for new installations. Work should comply with local building codes and applicable ANSI/BHMA hardware standards for the door application.
