Avocet ABS High Security Euro Cylinder - Anti Snap Lock - TS007 3 Star (35(INT) x35(EXT), Chrome)

If you've never changed a Euro Cylinder lock it's usually a very simple job, literally a couple of minutes with a screwdriver and you are done. I say 'usually' as in my instance there was an additional hidden grub screw holding the existing one in place, which only became apparent once i disassembled the whole lock assembly (something I hadn't seen covered in the various YouTube tutorials - I think this may be unique to the Winqhaus multipoint locking system on the door. It meant even with the locking screw removed the lock was stuck fast, which was a bit of a pain until I sussed out what was going on and found the grub screw and was able to remove it with an allen key. Despite that setback it was still a simple enough job to change it, and anyone that's even vaguely competent with a screwdriver will have no issues.As for the lock itself, it's anti-snap anti-bump etc. The cold hard fact of the matter is no lock is every going to be totally secure, and there are tools to defeat this lock available, but it offers more protection than most for the price point. At the end of the day it's about making your property more hassle that others to get in, and slowing down entry to people even with the right tools to defeat the lock. Burglars are for the most part opportunists who are looking for an easy target. If they come across this they you've got a fighting chance of them moving on to another property which presents less of a challenge (an old style snappable lock can be opened in seconds)The lock comes with 3 keys (as they are not as long as those on the Yale Platinum locks at a similar price point, which is a plus for me) and a key card to get more.If you are looking to change your lock for one with anti-snap features (and you really should as that's the method of entry in a quarter of all burglaries according to statistics) then this is a great lock for the price.

I can not say how impressed I am with this product. Our front door had a Magnum lock and my key was sticking and getting very difficult to use. I researched a new lock and I was horrified to find how easy it is to "snap" locks. I purchased a smart lock but found that it could easily be forced off the door. Amazon refunded the (large) sum without a problem. I then replaced the cylinder with a Yale Platinum which was installed in a few minutes and is secure. I purchased this lock for the back door. It is also secure but feels better quality. The keys slip in easily and the lock turns with no problem. Highly recommended.

Work well as described

This is a high security lock with pin in pin design, trap pins, and anti-snap features.There is a small issue with the cut i got.One of the pins is a really deep cut biting to the edge of the key. This prevents smooth rotation of the cylinder as it catches on the pins while turning.

Excellent lock and the highest rated euro lock on the market, with diamond standard. Fitting was easy and comes with two different length screws for securing in place and 3 keys. Expensive but feels high quality. If you buy this lock there is no need to pay extra for high security handles, so you can save a bit there and have a wider choice of handle if required.

After seeing a video of how quick door locks can be broken into, my husband decided to change them all to the Avocet High security anti snap locks. They were easy to change over. You get spare keys with the cylinders and can order more from the code that comes with it. Locks work fine and we now have extra peace of mind. He was so impressed with the locks, he changed his parents door locks to avocet high security for them.

Can't comment on how secure they are but they certainly seem to be the best around when reading online.Took 30 seconds to install, 1 screw to remove old lock, the ABS lock comes with 2 new screws for different lengths.Keys appear to be very good quality and using the lock is very smooth. Happy with my purchase, hopefully will keep undesirables away.

good for 18 months and then the key does not open it anymore. apparently one of the pins in tree cylinder is stuck and does not extend anymore
