double-cylinder (lock) insert Explanation: The 'Doppelzylinder' part refers to a cylinder lock mechanism with two cylinders, so it can be key-actuated from both sides of the door (see ref 1 for illustrations). My guess is that the 'Profil' part refers to the fact that this is only the cylinder portion of the lock, not the complete lock (a common construction in Europe, where the inserts are interchangeable; perhaps not so common in America) Reference: http://www.aufsperrprofi.de/Zylinder/Zylinder_1/zylinder_1.h... |
