Theses are good locks, but the measurements are a bit hit and miss. While they are flush inside, they aren’t outside and there’s no guidance other than measure to the outside of the handle plates, which I did. So either be prepared to send them back to get the correct size, or add 5mm either side

Fitting the locks is very simple and straightforward with only basic tools. They look good in the door and having KeyAlike is a great feature to have. Buying spare keys at the point of sale is cheap and worthwhile, especially if you have teenagers in the house! One last thing, the mechanism needed lubrication and then the keys had a nice feel when locking and unlocking.

This (plus a matching key both sides cylinder) were used to replace one old cylinder (converting it to thumb turn on the inside - so much more convenient) and a second (outer door) cylinder that was only a year or so old but had started sticking, and could not be locked from outside. So far the new cylinders are good - quality is noticeably superior to the old ones, and the key matching service was very handy. Not cheap - but in this case I think the quality and additional security more than justifies the price. Ordering process was straightforward and they arrived as quoted.

Avocet ABS Ultimate 3 Star Euro Cylinder

The Avocet ABS Ultimate 3 Star Euro Double Cylinder offers maximum security and is Kitemarked to TS007:2014 with a 3 star rating. This lock is Secured By Design, which is the official Police security initiative and is also tested by the Master Locksmith Association. This anti-snap cylinder includes a sacrificial snap section and includes 3 high security dimple keys.

TS007 3 Star Rating

TS007 3 Star Rating

The TS007 3 Star Rating is widely recognised as the highest security standard UK locks can conform to. TS007 3 star cylinders display the British Standard Kitemark and protect every form of attack including lock snapping and drilling. The British Standard Kitemark can help deter thieves. It's trusted worldwide and most insurance companies will insist your cylinders display it. Locks that display the Kitemark have been certified by the British Standards Institute (BSI), so you know that each product has been manufactured to a high standard.

High Security Keys

Each cylinder comes with 3 high security double sided keys, with smooth edges, and can be used any side up, making these cylinders easy to use. You will also receive a unique key card which allows you to purchase additional keys securely.

Sacrificial Snap

Lock snapping is the most common form of attack that a burglar will use to break in to your home. Anti-snap cylinders include a sacrificial snap line. When force is applied, the cylinder snaps at this 'weak point' but the actual mechanism stays intact. The sacrificial snap line must face the outside of your door.

Drill Protection

The ABS Ultimate 3 Star Cylinders include protection against lock drilling with 16 anti-drill pins, providing the ultimate resistance against forced attacks. Each lock is tested by the Master Locksmith Association's and has achieved the Sold Secure Diamond standard.

Drill Protection
Pins

Secured By Design

The ABS Cylinder is also Secured by Design, which is the official Police preferred specification for door security. ABS locks feature advanced technology to combat lock snapping, picking, drilling and bumping.

Peace of mind that very few people are capable of getting through this lock is well worth the cost of upgrading, plus they can be keyed alike, and the thumbturn is very convenient. All locks should be made this robust really, standard locks are far too easy to snap or pick, and don't offer any serious security like the ABS Avocet does. It feels well made, fells solid and is a doddle to fit by even the most basic DIY enthusiast. I sleep well knowing my doors and home are safe, secure and protected by this good quality and very robustly made lock.

These cylinders are very secure, the key is robust (could ever imagine it snapping), and the thumbturn action silky smooth.

Easy to measure, ordering from Safe was great, and simple to install.

They're expensive but worth it.

Good fit, looks solid. I had to use my own existing shorter screws, otherwise it wouldn't lock, but I think that was because of my mortice locks.

It was easy to order a keyed alike set of 2 locks with different lengths, which I couldn't do on Avocet's website.

As expected the product is of great quality and I am very happy with it.

However, More importantly, I was extremely impressed with safe.co.uk's service. The website is extremely intuitive and made ordering and building my package incredibly simple and the parcel was delivered earlier than expected!

Would definitely buy again with confidence from safe.co.uk.

After buying a new house I wanted to replace the locks. I bought a keyed alike set of these locks all with thumb turns. Fitting was very easy, as with most euro cylinders. I was expecting big ugly knobs, but the thumb turns are the same shape as the cylinder which also gives an indication of where it is turned. The silver finish looks lovely. A relatively high price, but would buy again

As a construction professional I have bought locks from Safe a couple of times. I have found there service first class and you always have the back up if required of phoning to get the correct advice.

They are spot on with their quality and price point as I have checked other suppliers. I don’t do reviews often, but Safe is highly recommended.

Not the cheapest lock but these have a real solid feel of quality once installed and operate smoothly. I ordered a set of 3 keyed alike locks which took minutes to fit once you look up the Eurolock installation method. I intend to upgrade the patio doors and can order more keyed alike locks using the code provided.

Arrived promptly and well packaged with all additional keys as requested. Exactly to measurement and specs fitting was trivial, slotted straight into spaces left by the old locks. The convenience of the thumb turns cannot be emphasised enough! They are expensive, but for top of the market security the peace of mind is worth it

Extra keys were easy to order and the whole thing comes a card to register your details for reference later

Admittedly expensive, but nothing else available that is 5* and keyed alike

I fitted 7 of these locks to my new property. Although the burglar alarm is a deterrent I wanted top quality locks as a first line of defence. Hopefully, the kite mark is a further deterrent against intruders. Additionally for the two sets of French doors we chose the internal thumb turn for ease of use on warmer days.

These locks are packed with security features and are so easy to fit and the advice provided by Safe was clear and helpful. Finally, the key card provided for additional keys is a further additional security feature.

I fully recommend these locks. Take care in measuring your existing locks and you’ll have no problems and greatly enhanced security.

Got a pair of these keyed-alike for my front and back doors. Absolutely trivial to install, was done with both doors in about 5 minutes, works smoothly, confident in the security.

It isn't visible in the photos, but the thumbturn has about 5-6mm clearance from the end of the lock body (slightly spring loaded), so it'll turn even with bits of the door hardware being a bit raised.

I read elsewhere that the lock can't be opened unless the thumbturn is in a particular position - this doesn't seem to be true, it works well whatever the position, just need to turn it a bit more. Note the odd shape of the thumbturn means it won't work with some of the smart-lock kits out there, if that's important to you.

The keys are really smooth to use, and go in either way up, but the handle end is a bit chunky - not ridiculously so, but enough to notice. Note ordering more keys from ABS later is EXPENSIVE - £21.50 a key currently, so better order all you might need upfront.

I am ordering two cylinders. Will they come with three keys in total or 6? Will they have the same keys applying to both locks?
Raj, St albans
If you are ordering keyed alike cylinders you will only receive 3 keys in total for the number of cylinders you order. If you would like all of the cylinders to work using the one key, you will need to select the keyed alike option.
