insertable multipoint cilinder lock, possibly electro-mechanically operated
Explanation:
Not absolutely sure, but I think this may do the trick. 'Cilindrical lock insert' might be another possibility.

@Asker: If you look at the 2nd reference, you'll see what a cylinder typically looks like. It is inserted in a hole in the body of the lock, e.g. as shown at the bottom of the picture in the 1st reference. In this instance, one cylinder apparently drives both locking points. The cylinder itself is not "multipoint".

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks a lot. However, what I don't understand is "cylinder" in the context. These locks are called "multi-point locks"and I understand that what is "insertable" is the lock. What I don't quite get is what the term says about the "cylinder", since a cylinder is only a part of the lock and, as far as I'm concerned, a cylinder cannot be "multipoint". Any ideas? thanks a lot
