Avocet ABS 3 Star - Euro Thumbturn Cylinder 45 - 50 (95mm 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.

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.

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.

lock parts Good quality build, keys are well made and premium looking

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.
