Nickel Plated Lock Cylinder

A nickel plated lock cylinder from China is a core component of a lock that has undergone electrolytic nickel plating. Typically made from durable materials like brass or steel, the lock cylinder contains pins, springs, and other components that work together to secure the lock. Nickel plating enhances the cylinder by providing wear resistance, corrosion resistance, increased hardness, reduced friction, and specific magnetic properties.

The nickel plating offers excellent corrosion resistance in both bright and matte finishes. Additionally, it serves as an effective under-plate for metals like gold and silver, preventing substrate migration to the top coating. This combination of properties makes nickel plated lock cylinders highly reliable and durable for various locking applications.
