Federal APE locks?

[Ian H]

I just phoned my local place for 3 new keyed alike locks.

I asked for their Avocet ABS but they said they have swapped to the APE.

Can anyone confirm they are as good or better than the ABS?

I’m looking at either a set of 3 of them, keyed alike with 7 keys for £163 or a single Ultion with 3 keys to match my front door for £110. Decisions, decisions.

I know the ultions were having major quality issues not so long back and they were coming apart while in the door, I beleive they are assembled in India so draw your own conclusions, theres also some youtube videos showing they aren't actually difficult to pick although I've never heard of a burglar picking euro locks, they either snap them in which case your ok OR they throw your concrete planter through the glass in which case your not

I’ve gone with the Avocet ones from a place in Leeds, £169 for 3 with 7 keys

Worth the extra £6 I hope

Good choice on the avocets
