ERA Fortress BS 3621 2.5-inch/ 64mm 5 Lever Maximum Security Mortice Sashlock - Brass Effect

An excellent purchase 👍🏻 I used it to replace an older cheaper lock that developed a fault. This one feels robust, is a good fit and slotted nicely into the space of my old one with minimal need for adjustments. I’m pleased with this product.

Bought nearly 7 years ago and this has always been reliable. Given some of the recent comments I felt it appropriate to recommend this lock that has served me well and continues to be very reliable. Easy fit, good price and choice to make.

Just replaced the old lock and it fits very well , in first view it looks very strong but it is too early to say anything but amazed with quality ( though price is bit high in comparisons )

Excellent quality mortice lock

Great replacement lock. Easy to fit

Excellent

I wanted my shed to be extra secure as it is a small workshop and the tools in there are expensive. So I bought one of these and two of the Era locks that are the same but support only a key (no door handle). My intension was to put all three on my shed door and link them together such that using the key on this lock would open and close the two other locks at the same time (which are placed at the top and bottom of the door). To link them meant that I had to cut holes in the side of the casing (on the internal side of the door) and drill mounting screws into the sliding lock mechanism. With a dremel tool it took me more than an hour to cut into the side of each and I only needed a relatively small slot in each. To actually cut enough into it to access the mechanism would take hours. To drill holes in the sliding mechanism was actually impossible in the sections that an intruder would be able to get to. It is made of layers which alternate between something that looks like stainless steel and layers that are black. My drill would go through the first steel layer no problem, which is a couple of milimeters. But when it hits the black layer the drill will not go through no matter how hard you press or how long you try. I did find a very small section inside the lock that I could attach to in the end and my triple lock system is now working well. My difficulties in modifying these locks has left me confident in their strength against a brute force attack. Nobody is going to succeed with an attack on these with hand tools and power tools. The only way to open the door would be to either smash the door or pick the lock. I can't say how hard it would be to pick the lock, but I suspect that is a skill few intruders would have.

I had to replace a previous lock using the same product as the original. The original lasted a year as the mechanism is rough . Fitted new one and not going to last for years obviously. I will try and spend more on a better quarlity, but tbh most others seem the same standard as this one . Delivery fast as usual.

Si vede che il prodotto abbastanza con qualita..... . . . . . . . . . . . .
