A shorter lever can be used for doors with latches that can be opened by the thumb located on the inside.

Lever Pad

Euro Cylinders can be fitted with up to six pins with both internal and external doors typically needing different levels of security.

The choice of the correct cylinder is crucial; it is contingent on how your doors and handle are used. For example, external doors should be fitted with a higher security cylinder, while doors inside can be secured with the standard cylinder. Additionally, certain cylinders have extra features that can improve security further, such as anti-drill and anti-bump characteristics.

This includes the thumb turn, in the event that one is present.

A cylinder that is protruding beyond the handle and escutcheon could be vulnerable to attacks such as lock snapping, so it is essential that it's not too long.

Most newer cylinders have been designed with bump and anti-drill features included in their design. They are designed to minimize attacks by forcing cylinders to rotate in a new direction. This can help to deflect an attack and keep your door safe.

There are cylinders that have been constructed to withstand snapping. This is a growing method of attack on cylinders, where the break line inside the lock is smashed by a tool that is specially designed to break off the front of the cylinder to allow the door to open.
