Avocet ABS 3 Star - Euro Thumbturn Cylinder 30 - 30 (60mm Polished Chrome) Reviews

An excellent lock security wise, well made and simple to fit, easy to use and a nice highly visible key that is easy to identify on a bunch of keys, the keys are coded so highly recommend this lock for insurance purposes and peace of mind.

Prompt delivery of a quality product at competetive prices. Fitting was straight forward and we completed all 4 locks in under 2 hours and I am a reluctant DIYer. With multiple locks it is worth getting the coloured fobs to distinguish between keys for doors. Locks all move smoothly and we feel more secure with the enhanced security features of these locks. We replaced one key/thumb turn, one dual key and a pair of patio door locks. All are of the same great quality and sit in the door funiture well. All in all a purchase I am very happy with.

Moved into a new house and the front and rear PVC doors had different mechanisms and keys for each. I wanted to only have 1 key for both doors so opted for a keyed alike set. Wnet for the Avocet ABS 3 Star as it's very secure and was offered in the odd sizes required to fit my doors.

Excellent service

I recently purchased the Avocet ABS 3 Star - Euro Thumbturn Cylinder to replace the lock on my front door. I was overall very pleased with the product, but I did have one issue with one of the bolts.

The short bolt that came with the cylinder installed easily, but when I tried to install the longer bolt, it wouldn't go through. I tried everything I could think of to get it to thread, but it was no use. I eventually had to take the bolt to a lathe operator to have it fixed.

I'm not sure if this was a one-off issue or if it's a common problem with this product. However, I would recommend that Avocet check the threading on the longer bolt before shipping it out.

Suggestion:

Avocet should check the threading on the longer bolt before shipping it out to prevent other customers from having the same issue I did.

Great product, easy to fit.

I looked at several different options of Euro lock but decided this ABS Avocet lock suited my needs the best. It is very well built, easy to use and was straightforward to fit. It provides good security to our entrance door. The service from Safe and speed of delivery was also first class.

Delighted with this lock. The previous one was difficult to insert the key and required key access from both sides. Both these problems were fixed with this lock. It was very straightforward to fit and looks great. Safe.Co.Uk were easy to order from and they delivered quickly. Will definitely use again.

Bought as part of a keyed alike set. All are good quality and work smoothly. Provided you measure exact size needed they are easy fit and are flush with handle. Thumb turn works well

Recently moved house and wanted to replace all the locks. After quite a lot of research we settled on these as Safe.co.uk made it super simple to order keyed alike locks in exactly the combinations we wanted.

The locks themselves are very solid and feel high quality. The operation is smooth and they are very easy to use. The thumb turn is very use and wish we'd got it on a couple of other doors.

As for fitting its very simple. Some locks came with two different length screws which is very handy and saved reusing the old grotty and mangled screws from the existing locks. Only negative is it feels the locks come up slightly short, especially the thumb turn one. Despite measuring and measuring again a couple of the locks are only just flush or ever so slightly inset. If your measurements are only just 30/30 for example, it might be worth going 35/35 and coping with the slight protrusion.

Overall very happy with these locks.

Great set of locks got two locks keyed alike with thumb turns and fitted perfectly I would always recommend getting thumb turns for fire safety and the panic you have looking for door keys when you get a takeaway or delivery, and key alike just makes everything simple saves you snapping key by putting in wrong door which I did, the abs keys are great super thick no worries about them snapping. Locks are super secure will beat any brute force attacks and will beat anyone that's not a super prepared lock picker as no lock is completely pick proof but this comes very close to it

Superb

Just moved into a new home with some keys missing and only a single key for some of the locks, so I decided to upgrade all around. I went with safe.co.uk so I could have a single key for 6 different locks and went with thumb-turn cylinders for fire safety.

Having a single key means that losing it can be expensive, especially if you think you might need to change the locks (you have to replace every lock rather than just one), but otherwise it's now considered fine from a security perspective. Equally thumb-turn locks aren't considered to be the most secure, but the fire safety benefit makes the overall benefit worth it. I went with the 3-star rated lock to counterbalance these concerns somewhat.

It wasn't the cheapest route to go down, but we're loving only requiring a single key, and not needing a key to lock up at night. No regrets.

I had a locksmith install it and it works really well. Also good value.

I needed an additional lock matching the existing locks I had, safe.co.uk offered real value for money, and swift delivery. I am very happy with the service, 5 star.

Have used the Avocet 3- star for many years.

Top quality product

Excellent product with a smooth operation, looks good and was very easy to fit
