Unrivalled security, uncompromising quality
Winkhaus UK is a leading provider of doors and window hardware, with an extensive range of multi-point locking solutions, but did you know it is also a key manufacturer of mechanical and electronic access control systems? George Smith, senior product and technical manager, explains the features and benefits of the XR6 cylinder range, Winkhaus’ high security, euro-profile cylinder solution.
Dedicated to delivering excellence in security, quality, and reliability, Winkhaus’ XR6 cylinder range is crafted with precision and commitment, setting the benchmark for high security.
Holding the esteemed British Standard Kitemark as a 1-star solution, the XR6 high security cylinder range boasts anti-bump, anti-pick, and anti-drill protection, among its array of features.
Meticulously designed for enhanced security, the XR6 cylinder range conforms to the TS007 1-star rating, meeting PAS24 and the requirements of Secured by Design, guaranteeing compliance and reliability, when used in conjunction with TS007 2-star security device.
With special shaped Torpedo tumbler pins, the XR6 cylinder range enhances resistance to bumping and picking, providing an additional layer of security. Moreover, hardened steel components resist core extraction and improve drill resistance, ensuring maximum protection against unauthorised access.
Practical design elements
Designed for ease of use and maximum functionality, the XR6 cylinder range incorporates an array of practical design elements. The recessed key guide facilitates easy key insertion even in poor lighting conditions or situations where dexterity is a concern.
Additionally, the support channel reduces the risk of key breakage or distortion over time, ensuring long-term durability and reliability. The cylinder will operate with keys inserted on both the inside and outside of the door, preventing damage and the risk of users being locked out of the property.
Tailored solutions
Available in various options including key-key, thumb-turn, half cylinder, and keyed alike, the XR6 cylinder range offers tailored solutions to meet diverse security needs. Whether for individual entrance doors, apartment complexes, or large commercial buildings, Winkhaus provides adaptable solutions to suit every requirement.
It is also designed to seamlessly integrate with Winkhaus locking solutions, providing a comprehensive security ecosystem. XR6 is a fusion of innovation and assurance, where safety and security are of the highest priority.

Compliant with the latest PAS24 standards, BSI Kitemark as a 2 star solution, and designed for use with euro profile cylinders, ArmorShield enhances security by preventing potential intruders from snapping the locking cylinder and gaining entry, even if the door handle is forcibly removed from the exterior.
