Avocet ABS MK3 Snap-Secure  Cylinder Locks

The first Avocet ABS Snap Secure cylinder was good, the MK2 was better - now the ABS MK3 offers the ultimate high security solution for wooden, aluminium, uPVC and composite doors. By incorporating no fewer than 6 addtional anti-pick devices in each cylinder than the previous MK2 model , the  ABS MK3 cylinder has achieved  BSI Kite Mark accreditation, "Secured By Design" approval and PAS24 compliance. 

The Avocet ABS MK3 cylinder features unique "Snap Secure" patented technology that ensures that if the door is attacked, the cylinder snaps in two places  and blocks access to the internal mechanism of your door lock.
This "Snap Attack" is THE most common method of entry due to the speed of entry (usually less than 30 seconds) and the lack of skill required. The Avocet ABS MK3 also incorporates bump resistant technology to prevent entry by the "Bump Key" method.
If required, you can choose to register your keys for free online to protect against unauthorised duplication . If you choose to register your keys, you will be asked by us for your registered password before extra keys are issued, keeping you in total control.
ABS cylinders are covered by a 10 year manufacturers guarantee, including FREE replacement if damaged during an attempted break-in.


 

Avocet ABS - PAS24 protection straight from the box! ABS MK3 requires no adaptation to the door or existing handle and can be installed in minutes. Forget security handles & cylinder guards, NO additional security devices  are required for Avocet ABS MK3 to meet PAS24 & Sold Secure Diamond security standard. 

 
 
How do we know Avocet ABS MK3 locks are the highest security cylinders on the market?
As professional Master Locksmiths Association (MLA) members, we tested all the so-called anti-snap/bump Kite-Marked cylinders listed below and all resisted for less than 60 seconds when attack with common hand tools:

 Garrison (Mul-T-Lock) Break Secure
Squire Snap Safe
Millenco Magnum
GEGE pExtra
UAP Snap Safe
EVVA MCS/SKS/DPS
Abloy Protec
Yale Anti-Snap
Avocet ABS MK3 was not succesfully breached

BEWARE:  BS Kite-Marked cylinders are common, but
Only the Sold-Secure Diamond test includes snap testing (click here to find out more)

    Measure from the CENTRE of the fixing screw to each end of your cylinder. If you have measured correctly, adding the internal & external sizes together should result in the total length of your cylinder
    (e.g. 35/45 =80mm total length).
    Always quote your internal size first followed by the external (e.g. 35/45EXT)


    IMPORTANT:
    Please dont assume that all your locks are the same size! This is rarely the case
