The BODI dummy cylinder, sometimes also referred to as a dummy lock, is used on doors that do not require or permit locking. This is the main difference to conventional locking cylinders, which have a locking function
Although the blind cylinder is similar to a profile cylinder in its external form, it has a completely different functionality. As there are situations in which certain doors do not require a locking mechanism or this is even expressly prohibited, the dummy cylinder proves to be an ideal solution and an attractive alternative to cylinders with a locking function. Should the need for a cylinder with a locking mechanism arise at a later date, the dummy cylinder can be easily removed and replaced with a conventional profile cylinder.
