A lock cylinder is the part of a lock that contains the keyway and the tumblers or pins that interact with the key. It is responsible for the actual locking and unlocking action when the correct key is inserted. Lock cylinders come in various types, including pin tumbler cylinders, wafer tumbler cylinders, and disc tumbler cylinders, each with its own unique mechanism. The choice of lock cylinder depends on factors such as the desired security level, key control requirements, and compatibility with the lock body. For example, a high-security facility may choose to use pin tumbler cylinders with advanced key control systems to prevent unauthorized key duplication.
