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.

Avocet ABS Ultimate 3 Star Euro Cylinder
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 pack 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.

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.

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.

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.

The product was purchased as we had recently moved house and wanted to both synchronise and renew the locks. The thumbturn is easy to install by use of a simple bolt through the locking plate and to use, as the same key now opens both our Porch and inside Porch doors, there is no using the wrong key.

The locks were ordered ‘keyed alike’ as a replacement for the (double) porch front doors after moving into a new house. They installed easily as expected. The thumb-turns are particularly useful. When unlocking from inside, all you do is turn it - so it can be done one-handed. When locking from the inside, you need to raise the door handle while rotating the thumb-turn in the opposite direction. A key-code card is provided for spares - 3 keys are supplied as standard. Locking and unlocking from the outside is a really smooth action, both with inserting the key and rotating it unlike a lot of other brands. I will buy this product again when necessary.

Although a bit pricey, it does give the peace of mind to have the highest level of safety protection. Quite easy to install and operate. We managed to replace a handful of cylinders in under an hour. The availability of tailor made keyed alike options is well worth having. The delivery was quite swift too.

The Avocet ABS 3 Star - Euro Double Cylinder 50 - 50 (100mm Polished Chrome) is a great lock that looks good and is easy to fit. It feels solid and I like that we could get it keyed alike with other locks in our house. It was easy to order and arrived quickly.

These are great locks, they were very easy to install. Just undid one screw from the old lock and fitted these new ones. First time I've had to change a locks but very simple.

Great quality and very easy to use, the thumb turn on the inside is great. Very happy with them.

Trivial to install, key matching is a must, as is a thumbturn on front door for fire safety. Superb build quality and the security level of this is one of the highest, just watch the LockPickingLawyer video on this range of locks.

An extremely well made and good looking lock which meets, and probably exceeds, the standards required by insurance companies. I live by the coast in a very exposed west facing location but I’m confident that the high quality plating applied to the lock will endure the harsh salty conditions we endure throughout autumn and winter.

It’s very easy to fit and the lock and associated key have a very positive feel in operation. I specified several different sized locks using the same key and everything fits and works perfectly. I’ve absolutely no hesitation recommending them.

Replaced my standard Euro cylinder door lock in my front door, with this far superior lock. As a novice, I researched quality locks and modern security, and read a load of online reviews, which led me to these Avocet ABS locks. Very well made, and with the 3-star security that is recommended for the most secure locks, I followed the easy instructions to measure exactly the right size, and ordered. Very straightforward to fit - even for a novice to door locks like me. It's now been a few months, and I'm very happy with this purchase.

this euro cylinder lock set is great,solid construction, smooth operation, and very easy installation. Each cylinder feels reassuringly weighty, and the keyed-alike feature is a game-changer for anyone tired of juggling multiple keys.

Yes, it's pricey but it feel well made and operates very smoothly.

Installation? Ridiculously simple. One screw. That’s it. Undo, swap, tighten. No fiddling, no frustration. I had all locks swapped out in under ten minutes, and I’m no locksmith.

Overall: If you value quality and convenience—and don’t mind investing a bit more— Its hard to rate something that you hope to never test.

I was looking for several locks as keyed alike. They were all the same quality as this one and I would be very happy to buy this again, although seeing as it is so well built I doubt we will be needing any. The keys all work so nicely.

If I knew about these type of locks before I would have bought them for my previous house.

As expected, super easy to fit. The security of these is well known, just watch the LockPickingLawyer video on YouTube. Very happy with this lock cylinder. It is very smooth and packed full of features which are a little less useful on a half cylinder but keyed alike makes for a great set of cylinders for your house.

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.
