The FORGE European Cylinder Smart Lock (FECYLDSEU matt silver / FECYLDBEU matt black) replaces the euro cylinder in a compatible European-profile mortice lock with a smart cylinder: a fingerprint, keypad and card knob outside, and an internal turn snib inside. The mortice lock and the rest of the door hardware stay.

It suits a required outside cylinder length of 34-44 mm, set with positioning screws, and a backset of at least 25 mm. Unlock with a fingerprint, a PIN code on physical buttons 1-6, a MIFARE M1 card, the TTLock app over Bluetooth or the mechanical key, and add FORGE's optional G5 gateway for remote unlock. It runs on 2 x CR123A batteries for about 6-10 months, and the outside knob is rated IP55 for a sheltered door.

For an Australian oval-cylinder lockset, see the FORGE Australian Oval Cylinder Smart Lock. Made in China for FORGE, an Australian brand based in Ringwood, Victoria, with FORGE's 2-year warranty.

Access Methods

Access Method	Available	Details
Fingerprint	Yes - up to 200	The reader is in the face of the outside knob. Fingerprints can be permanent, time-limited or recurring, and a Forced Fingerprint sends the administrator an alarm notification.
PIN Code	Yes - up to 150	Physical buttons around the knob carry the digits 1-6 plus * and #, so every passcode uses only 1-6; codes are 4-9 digits (manual page 14). Permanent, time-limited, one-time and recurring codes - TTLock passcode types.
RFID Card	Yes - up to 200	MIFARE M1 cards are read at the knob. Extra FORGE MIFARE 1K cards are sold separately.
TTLock App	Yes - Bluetooth	Unlock from the TTLock app within about 5-10 metres, and share eKeys with other TTLock users.
Remote Unlock	With the G5 gateway	Add the FORGE TTLock G5 gateway for remote unlock and management. FORGE also names its DB2 video doorbell, which has a gateway built in.
Mechanical Key	Yes	The cylinder keeps a mechanical key - the backup if the batteries go flat.

From the inside, turn the internal turn snib - no credential is needed to open the door from inside.

TTLock App

Set the lock up in the free TTLock app, available for iOS and Android . Choose Australia as your location when you sign up, give the app full permissions and turn Bluetooth on. Until the first administrator is added the lock is in its factory state - the default admin code is 123456 and any fingerprint will open it - so pair it as soon as it is fitted. FORGE's TTLock pairing guide shows the steps; keep your phone within 2 metres while pairing. The introduction pages of the manual cover the same ground for this model.

TTLock is one of the two global smart lock platforms - how it compares with Tuya is set out in our TTLock vs Tuya comparison, and the wider TTLock range in Chapter 14 - the TTLock hardware ecosystem. The app itself is covered in the TTLock app user manual.

Bluetooth at the door, remote with a gateway
Without a gateway the European Cylinder is managed over Bluetooth when your phone is within about 5-10 metres - see what a TTLock lock can do without Wi-Fi. FORGE offers the FORGE TTLock G5 gateway as the add-on for remote Wi-Fi management and unlocking: with it plugged in within range you can unlock on demand from anywhere, change codes, check records and set a passage-mode schedule remotely - Bluetooth vs gateway in Chapter 14. Remote Unlock has to be switched on in the app and Power Saving Mode turned off (manual page 18).

What's in the Box

Contents from FORGE's parts drawing and manual - FORGE's page has no In the Box list for this model. FORGE's drawing marks the 2 x CR123A batteries as not included. The TTLock G5 gateway, the TTLock remote and extra MIFARE 1K cards are sold separately.

Suitable Uses

• Timber and aluminium doors with a compatible European-profile mortice lock - an existing-hardware upgrade without replacing the lock.
• Apartment, townhouse and office doors sheltered from direct rain.
• Rentals and shared premises where codes and cards are managed in TTLock (audit trails).
• Doors that need a simple turn to open from inside.

Not suitable for

• A required outside cylinder length over 44 mm - FORGE rates it not suitable.
• A backset under 25 mm.
• Inward-opening doors where the knob would hit the jamb as the door closes.
• Australian oval, round or rim cylinders - this is the European profile.
• Doors exposed to driving rain - the outside knob is IP55.

Will It Fit? Cylinder Length and Backset

This cylinder replaces an existing European-profile cylinder and its inside turn, so the fit comes down to the outside cylinder length and the backset. FORGE's measurement guide (PDF) and manual page 5 set out the check.

Measure before you order

• Outside cylinder length - with or without a handle, measure from the centre of the cylinder screw hole in the lock's faceplate to the outside surface of the cylinder cover plate. FORGE's adjustment range is 34-44 mm.
• Door thickness - the turn snib and cylinder each have three positioning-screw positions, giving 71.4-91.6 mm overall. Measure the existing cylinder end to end.
• Backset - FORGE's minimum is 25 mm.
• Jamb clearance - on an inward-opening door with a jamb, check the 40 mm knob clears the jamb as the door closes.
• Not sure? Send us a photo of the faceplate and the cylinder with a tape measure in shot and we will check it with you.

Measuring tips for faceplates and cylinders are in examples of helpful photos.

This product is in bold. Both cylinders read fingerprints (up to 200), PIN codes on physical buttons 1-6 (up to 150) and MIFARE M1 cards (up to 200), run on TTLock over Bluetooth with the optional G5 gateway for remote access, take 2 x CR123A batteries and carry IP55 on the outside knob. Both need a 25 mm minimum backset.

Accessories and Spares

Image	Accessory	Item Code	Use With This Lock
	FORGE TTLock Bluetooth to Wi-Fi Gateway (G5)	TTGTWG5	Adds remote unlock, remote code management and entry records over your home Wi-Fi (2.4 or 5 GHz router). FORGE offers it as an add-on with the European Cylinder.
	FORGE TTLock Bluetooth Remote Control	FEGLTTLKRMTA	A hand-held Bluetooth remote for unlocking at close range - FORGE offers it as an add-on with the European Cylinder.
	FORGE MIFARE 1K RFID Card	FECARDGSLKA	Extra MIFARE 1K cards - the cylinder stores up to 200.

FORGE also names its DB2 video doorbell, which has a TTLock gateway built in, as a remote route for this lock - ask us if you want one. Other gateways are in the modules and Wi-Fi gateways category, and more cards and fobs in the RFID credentials range.

Battery and Emergency Power

Power, warnings and backup
The cylinder runs on 2 x CR123A lithium batteries behind the cover on the outside knob, rated by FORGE at about 6-10 months depending on use. FORGE's parts drawing marks the batteries as not included, so buy a pair with the lock. To change them, undo the battery cover screw, turn the cap anticlockwise, lift the cover and fit the cells the right way round (manual page 10). The lock warns you when it has roughly 50 to 100 unlocks left - replace both cells then. There is no USB emergency port on this cylinder: the mechanical key is the backup if the batteries go flat, so keep a key somewhere away from the door (key storage ideas). More on what really affects battery life and power and battery FAQs.

Weather Rating - IP55 Outside Knob

IP55 outside knob
FORGE rates the outside smart-cylinder assembly IP55 against dust and low-pressure water jets when correctly installed, with a working range of -10 to 55 degrees C and 0-95% humidity. It suits a door that is sheltered from direct rain - under an eave, porch or awning. It is not designed for driving rain, salt spray, flooding or immersion; FORGE recommends a rain hood where the door is exposed, and water damage beyond the rating is not covered by the warranty (non-warranty disclaimer). IP55 is a lower rating than FORGE's outdoor gate locks - see IP ratings explained and, on the coast, coastal environments.

FORGE European Cylinder - Technical Specifications

Dimensions

FORGE's drawing of the cylinder: 164.8 mm overall with the 57 mm x 40 mm diameter outside knob and the internal turn snib; the cylinder adjusts from 71.4 to 91.6 mm overall (34-44 mm on the outside) with three positioning-screw holes on each side (manual page 3).

Before ordering, measure the cylinder length on your door as shown in FORGE's measurement guide (PDF) - see Will It Fit? above. The guide is also in the Dimensions tab.

Platform and Data

Platform. The European Cylinder runs on TTLock - Bluetooth to your phone, with the TTLock G5 gateway for remote access. Remote unlock and management need the gateway; at the door the lock works without the internet.

Where your data goes. TTLock is run by Sciener, a Chinese company. Accounts outside China use TTLock's out-of-China servers; where that infrastructure is hosted, and which region Australian accounts use, is not published - in short, a Chinese company's servers, location unpublished. For the platform-by-platform picture see where each smart lock platform hosts its data, and for TTLock's security record see Chapter 14 - TTLock security.

Installation

Fitting is a cylinder swap: the existing euro cylinder and inside turn come out on the cylinder screw, and the smart cylinder goes in with its own turn snib. The installation section of the manual runs through each step with drawings.

Installation Tips

• Set the length first - move the positioning screws between the three hole positions on the turn-snib side and the cylinder side to suit the door (manual page 6).
• Remove the existing cylinder and inside turn by undoing the cylinder screw in the faceplate (manual page 7).
• Fit the smart cylinder from outside and secure it with the cylinder screw (manual page 8).
• Attach the internal turn snib to the tail shaft at the positioning hole for your door thickness and fix it with its screw (manual page 9).
• Fit the 2 x CR123A batteries - battery cover screw out, cap anticlockwise, cover off (manual page 10) - then check the outside knob turns freely while locked and engages after 123456# (manual page 11).
• Unsure about the length or backset? Terry's offers installation across the Gold Coast.

Which way a door is handed is explained in how to tell which way your door or gate opens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it fit my lock?
If your mortice lock takes a European-profile cylinder, the required outside length is 44 mm or less and the backset is at least 25 mm - see Will It Fit? above and FORGE's measurement guide.

Does it have an inside turn?
Yes - an internal turn snib comes with it and replaces your existing inside turn.

Why can I only use digits 1-6?
The knob has six number buttons plus * and #, so passcodes use only 1-6, 4-9 digits long.

Can I unlock it remotely?
Yes, with the optional FORGE TTLock G5 gateway. Without it, the app works over Bluetooth within about 5-10 metres.

What batteries does it take?
2 x CR123A lithium cells, for about 6-10 months. FORGE's parts drawing marks them as not included. The mechanical key is the backup.

Additional Information

• Measure the outside cylinder length before ordering. The cylinder suits up to 44 mm on the outside; longer will not fit.
• Register an administrator straight away. Until the first administrator is added in the app, the lock is in its factory state with the default code 123456.
• Buy batteries with it. It runs on 2 x CR123A cells, which FORGE's parts drawing shows as not included.
• Shelter matters. The outside knob is IP55 - fine under an eave or porch, not for a door that takes driving rain.
• Keep the mechanical keys away from the door - there is no USB emergency port, so the key is the backup (key storage ideas).
