The Avocet ABS 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.
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.
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 Buy Spare Avocet ABS Keys later.
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.
The ABS 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.
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.

In my opinion you get what you pay for these locks are simply quality!
The locks arrived in great time with easy to follow instructions. They are nice and easy to change and look brilliant. The keyed alike feature is excellent too.
Highly recommend these locks to anyone who is looking to replace/ upgrade.

Ok, so this is a cylinder for changing the locks, as it were. I didn't know much about them until recently but now I realise how useful this is. My house has four doors and they are all eurocylinder sorts, which are very common on modern doors. Realising this, I now have all the doors using the same key which is really better because I can use a single key and use any door rather than having several.
The next thing I learned was that the difference is the length of the cylinder, measured from the centre to the ends as it has a fixing screw.
Changing them is trivial. Do it once and you'll know how from then on - easier than changing a plug fuse.
Security? Well, that's hard to say, really. Nobody has broken in so far and it seems I can't get local locksmiths to cut me a new key, which bodes well. There are features that you want, e.g. a breaking end so if someone twists the lock with a big lever it just breaks off rather than unlocking the door. A bunch of other things, e.g. anti pick, etc. Some of these have to be supported by the door, e.g. the pins and whatnot.
Not hugely cheap but not pricey either. I am well pleased, so far anyway.

it's pretty easy to fit the lock cylinder into the lock case and door. there are 11 pin for the key. The quality of the cylinder seems very good.
After I bought the euro double cylinder, it took several times for the payments to gone though. May be it's because of my card type and safe.co.uk has a higher security level, the validation of my payments always failed. but their customer service is very kind. they took the payment through the phone. then the cylinder was delivered to me the next week. It only took me 10 mins to fit the cylinder into my lock.

I purchased this item after my son mentioned how good the security was & one of my local Nieghbors were broken in to so I went on to the safe website it was so easy to use I just took the measurements of my front & back door locks looked through the site had a good read about the locks & decided this was the perfect one to replace my old door locks the were police recommend which made a big part of my decision to buy the on top of that atop company like safe so why would I need to go anywhere else once I got them it took me all of 5 minutes to fit both doors the quality is brilliant the keys are so different to normal house keys the fact that you register them on line with the card number for insurance purposes was brilliant as well I would highly recommend everyone buy these & buy them from safe you certainly will be glad you did because in today’s world no one knows what’s around the corner o what more do I need to say to convince you ok brilliant company brilliant products brilliant price

It was very solid in design and was very easy to fit,it honestly took a couple of minutes and I now feel safe in and away from home in the knowledge that my new locks will help prevent my home being burgled. I highly recommend this lock.It is great value for money and is a very small price to pay for 5 star security . I have now changed all of my locks at home and I know that they can not be snapped fron the outside of my house so hopefully any intruders who come calling would see I have top quality locks fitted.

Having recently moved in to a new house I wanted to replace the ancient euro style lock in the garden room door to improve security of the property. After much online research I decided on the Avocet ABS 3 star. This is a really nice lock. Buld quality is very good and the security features are excellent. I purchased it from Safe website, delivery was extremely fast and the lock itself was fitted very easily in just a few minutes. It has been installed for over 3 months now, looks good & works flawlessly. I can happily recommend both the lock & Safe.co.uk.

Had a new composite door fitted, but unfortunately the installer left us with a bog standard, non-kitemarked lock. Did a lot of research on Euro locks, and it became obvious that Avocet was one of the most trusted brands. Found the lock I wanted on the Safe website at a reasonable price, and made the purchase. Easy lock to fit, the mechanism works smoothly and I'm confident that the security of our home has been enhanced.

Great product but be aware to keep security card safe - data on required for any future keys. Keys are also excellent quality & price.
Most locks align keyhole vertical, this lock aligns horizontal & takes a little time to get used to this feature
