EVVA 4KS half cylinder
EVVA 4KS (4 Curve System) is the most resistant system among mechanical locking systems. With its patented springless curve technology, 4KS is suitable for the toughest applications such as high up in the mountains or in production plants with high levels of dirt. The reversible key offers a comfortable insertion behaviour and turns easily and quietly in the cylinder. Of course, 4KS also has an EVVA-own feature: the overlapping curve milling. This guarantees maximum security and prevents key manipulation within the locking system.
The patented reversible key system is suitable for highly complex structured locking systems.

Unlike other locking systems, the locking elements in the 4KS cylinder move along the curves on the key. They are no longer pressed against a spring force. A total of 12 springless, massive locking pins are brought into a specific position via positive control of the six key curves and scanned by two control bars. A locking bar in the core controls the additional coding of the key. In total, the 4KS key is interrogated four times. This is 3 queries more than with other systems and offers maximum security.
The fourth hidden curve
One of the three curves on one side runs asymmetrically on the other side. It is the hidden fourth curve that gives the 4KS its name.
Modular design (SYMO)
The 4KS cylinder is manufactured in modular design (SYMO) and is therefore more than flexible. It can therefore be adapted to the respective door situation directly on site by a specialist dealer. It is also possible to convert the 4KS cylinder to a specific function (e.g. lockable on both sides) on site. This saves time and costs.
Locking cylinder security
The innovative technologies of the 4KS cylinder offer sustainable protection against illegal opening methods:
- Picking and scanning protection
The 4KS cylinder is equipped with several locking pins. It is not possible to tell which locking pin is effective in each individual case. Due to the freely movable position of the locking elements in the core, it is almost impossible to scan a milling pattern for a duplicate key. In addition, the springless function protects against impact picking. - Drilling protection
The carbide metal side control bar, the core drilling protection and the body drilling protection in the 4KS cylinder offer effective protection against drilling. - Pulling and tear-off protection
The carbide metal side control bars and the modular design (SYMO) have a high protective effect against pulling and tear-off attempts. - Impact key protection
With this complicated opening method, burglar professionals use a so-called impact key to try to bring the query positions in the cylinder into the correct position.
Cam position
It is possible to move the cam into different positions. To do this, press the small pin directly on the cam of the cylinder with a pointed object and move the cam to the desired position.
How to measure the cylinder length correctly?
Cylinder finishes:
- standard finish: nickel
- optional: brass (front polished), brown patinated, black patinated
- for individual design requirements
- if desired, homogeneous appearance of door cylinder and fitting
- optional finishes cannot be combined with: seawater resistance, dust and weather protection
If a different finish, different from the standard finish, is ordered, extended production times may occur.
SEW - Seawater resistance:
- for cylinders that are exposed to strong environmental influences
- cylinder parts susceptible to corrosion are delivered with a special surface finish
- Please note:
If you order this option the delivery time will be extended.
SSW - Protection mechanism against dust and weather conditions
Spring-loaded locking plates integrated in the locking cylinder, which open or close automatically when the key is inserted or removed. This design is one-sided on the outside.
The cylinder is extended by 3,3 mm.
When ordering this option, the delivery time is extended.
Key with design cap:
- colours: black, blue and red, yellow, green and white
- material thickness design cap: 7,2 mm
- plastic caps for special design requirements for the keys
- ergonomic design and high quality for better haptics
- easy optical differentiation
- simple management of locking systems through colour assignment
- consecutive numbering of the key (key with the same locking authorisation receives a consecutive number)
- use exclusively for EVVA keys
- factory assembly, subsequent opening and retrofitting is not possible
Key with coloured dot:
- colours: red, blue, green, yellow, brown, black, violet, pink
