U.L. 437 standards, a set of tests for
determining the cylinder’s physical resist-
ance against various forms of attack. Two
independent locking mechanisms ensure
optimum pick resistance. Inactive “false”
grooves in the side pins catch the side bar
when improperly positioned. When rotational
force is appliedto pick the lock, the spooled driver pin tumblers, close tolerances, and countermilled pin chambers protect the cylinder from virtually every known picking method.

High Security Cylinders For Demanding Applications
Mortise and Rim Cylinders
ASSA Twin V-10, Twin Exclusive, Twin Pro and Twin Maximum mortise and rim cylinders
are designed to replace original cylinders in many types of common locks. Made to
standard dimensions and available in a variety of finishes, these reliable cylinders
withstand even the heaviest usage.
Mortise cylinders will improve the security of locks installed in aluminum storefront
doors as well as standard mortise locks by Arrow, Corbin/Russwin, Sargent, Schlage,
Yale and many other manufacturers. These mortise cylinders can also be applied to a
wide variety of special locking devices including detention hardware.
Commonly used on apartment and condominium doors, rim-type Twin series cylinders
are used on vertical deadbolt locks and are also designed for commercial exit and
panic devices.

deadbolts are U.L. 437 listed, providing superior resistance against physical attack.
Available in double cylinder and single cylinder with inside thumb turn, the two types of
bolts, mortise and drive in, simplify installation in either wood or metal doors. The ASSA

locks. In the past, many lock manufacturers
addressed only pick and drill resistance for patent
purposes. The ASSA Twin V-10, Twin Exclusive and
Twin Pro carry patents to protect both the key and
cylinder. This additional protection is easy to obtain
with ASSA’s Twin family of cylinders that upgrade
existing cylinders to a new level of security.

all our Twin series high security cylinders are U.L. 437

The ASSA Twin series high security cylinder was
designed with key control in mind. Each side bar
contains a code and is combinated by its matching
key. Available in multitude for a given key profile, the
side bar codes are milled on the lower portion of the
