Door core cutter is a specialized tool used by locksmiths and the door hardware industry to remove the lock cylinder from a lock. This is often necessary when resetting a lock cylinder, replacing a damaged lock cylinder, or upgrading to a different type of lock cylinder, such as a high-security lock cylinder.
Types of Door Core Cutters

- These are hand-operated tools that require physical strength to cut and remove the lock cylinder.
- They are often used for smaller jobs or situations where precision is required.
2. Electric Cylinder Cutters:
- These tools are powered by electricity, making the cutting process faster and less labor-intensive.
- Ideal for high-volume jobs or tougher materials.
3. Hydraulic Cylinder Cutters:
- They use hydraulic pressure to cut the lock cylinder and are often used for heavy-duty applications.
- They provide a lot of power and are suitable for cutting hardened or high-security lock cylinders.
