High-Security Cylinders
Price of a Kaba or Keso Cylinder in Switzerland
There is no single price for a Kaba or Keso cylinder. Specify the model, profile, dimensions, number of keys and any connection to an existing locking system.
Compare equivalent products and fitting
Ask for the exact range and required dimensions. A thumb-turn cylinder, double cylinder and a component for a shared system are not the same product.
Separate hardware, supplied keys, travel, fitting and adjustment. A cylinder’s advertised price alone is not the total cost of a visit to your property.
Security cards depend on the system
Dormakaba identifies Kaba 8 as an exception to its registration system. For registered systems, ordering uses security-card information and a certified partner. Do not apply one rule to every key carrying the Kaba brand.
For KESO 6000FP2, ASSA ABLOY states that a security card is required to order copies. This is a statement about that system, not every historic Keso range.
Preparing a cylinder quote
- State the brand and model if known.
- Give dimensions established by a professional.
- Specify the required keys and any inside thumb-turn.
- Mention shared access or a key opening several doors.
- Share key numbers and card details privately with the professional verifying the order, not in a public post.
Five items to compare in a quote
- Travel: included or charged separately, and the covered area.
- Labour: fixed fee, included time and additional time charges.
- Parts: exact model, number of keys and fitting cost.
- Surcharges: working hours, urgency and conditions that change the price.
- Total payable: whether VAT is included, payment method and invoice.
Ask for written confirmation for your situation. If the diagnosis changes on site, ask the professional to explain any additional work and its price before agreeing.
Frequently asked questions
Do all Kaba keys require a card?
Do not generalise. Dormakaba distinguishes Kaba 8 from registered systems. Identify the exact system and ordering conditions.
Does losing the card mean replacing the cylinder?
Not automatically. Ask the manufacturer or its partner about the process and evidence needed for your system.
How should cylinder prices be compared?
Compare the exact reference, dimensions, functions, keys and fitting. Separate the product price from the total job cost.
