5. Installation Guide
This section outlines the general procedure for installing or replacing a double cylinder lock. Specific door types and existing hardware may require slight variations.
- Prepare the Door: Ensure the door is open and the existing cylinder (if any) is removed. Most cylinders are held in place by a single screw on the door's edge plate.
- Measure the Cylinder: The D6PSN 35/45 BKN cylinder has dimensions of 35mm on one side and 45mm on the other, measured from the center of the fixing screw hole to each end. Ensure these dimensions match your door's requirements.
- Insert the New Cylinder: Insert the new Abus D6PSN cylinder into the mortise lock. The cam (the central rotating part) should align with the mortise lock mechanism.
- Secure the Cylinder: Insert the fixing screw through the door's edge plate and into the threaded hole in the cylinder. Tighten the screw until the cylinder is firmly held in place, but do not overtighten.
- Test Operation: With the door open, insert a key into both sides of the cylinder and turn it to ensure the mechanism operates smoothly. The key should turn freely and retract the latch/bolt.
- Close and Test: Carefully close the door and test the lock from both the inside and outside to confirm proper functionality.

6. Operation
To operate the Abus D6PSN double cylinder lock:
- Insert one of the provided reversible keys into the keyway on either side of the cylinder.
- Turn the key clockwise or counter-clockwise to engage or disengage the lock mechanism.
- Remove the key once the door is secured or unlocked.
Important Note:
This double cylinder lock is designed such that a key inserted on one side will prevent a key from being turned on the other side. If a key is left in the inside of the lock, it will not be possible to operate the lock from the outside with another key. This is a common characteristic of standard double cylinder locks and not a defect.
7. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your Abus D6PSN cylinder:
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exterior of the cylinder with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Lubrication: If the key turning becomes stiff, apply a small amount of graphite-based lubricant or a specialized lock lubricant into the keyway. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust and cause blockages over time.
- Key Care: Avoid using bent or damaged keys, as this can damage the internal mechanism of the cylinder.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Key does not turn smoothly or gets stuck. | Lack of lubrication, debris in keyway, bent key. | Apply graphite lubricant. Clean keyway with compressed air. Use an undamaged key. |
| Cannot unlock from outside when key is inside. | Standard operation of a double cylinder lock. | Remove the key from the inside of the lock to operate from the outside. This is not a malfunction. |
| Cylinder feels loose in the door. | Fixing screw is loose. | Tighten the fixing screw on the door's edge plate. Do not overtighten. |
