Avocet ABS 3 Star - Euro Thumbturn Cylinder 40 - 45 (85mm Polished Chrome)

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.

easy to fit & use, great quality & very secure.

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.

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.

Appears to be a very good lock, I'm not really placed to say how secure the lock is but the lock picking lawyer seemed suitably impressed.

Coming from two different locks, that both required keys on the inside, these are absolutely godsend, ability to lock (and more importantly unlock) without having to find keys is great.

Extremely easy to install and the keys that come with them can go in either way so fumbling about in the dark is better as well.

All in all, very very happy, should have done this years ago. Thanks

The Avocet ABS 3 Star locks are of excellent quality. They are more expensive than many of their competitors but I’m confident that our investment in them will be worth it. The thumbturn feature is very handy as is the same key option. This option allows us to have a secure home lock system with only one key.

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.
