ERA 3 Star 6 Pin Sold Secure Cylinders
With the ERA 3 Star 6 Pin Sold Secure Cylinders, quality doesn’t cost a fortune. These reliable products offer top-notch security at an affordable price point, making them ideal for most residential and commercial properties.
The cylinders, available as both thumbturn and double cylinder versions, are independently tested and certified in accordance with British Kitemark TS007:2014+A2:2008 3-star accreditation (TS007 3*) and to BS EN 1303:2015. They also feature a sacrificial snap line that if attacked, will break away, protecting the central cam and giving the intruder less of the cylinder to attack. And for peace of mind, ERA offers a £2,000 anti-snap guarantee.
The cylinders are also tested and approved by the Master Locksmith Association to the Sold Secure Diamond standard of the Police Preferred Specification – the highest of the four levels – and are Neighbourhood Watch recommended.
Arrone bathroom Turn & Release with Hex Key Override
An increasing number of public buildings now require more secure bathroom cubicle locks and for supervised facilities, the Arrone Bathroom Turn & Release with Hex Key Override makes an ideal solution. Specifically, this lock has a hex key operated external release, meaning it cannot be overridden and unlocked using a coin or other item with a flat edge. Instead, a designated key holder has access to the external release hex key (sold separately) in case emergency access is required.
This is ideal for applications such as leisure facilities and public spaces, particularly in education facilities where the Department for Education stipulates that toilet doors in schools and colleges should have a key release to the external side of the door. It also outlines that the toilet lock should be easily operated from the inside with a single motion, such as a turn lever mechanism.

In more detail, the deadbolt is locked/unlocked with a separate 5mm turn and release handle set (sold separately) This sashlock has a 63.5mm case and a 44.5mm backset and comes with all the necessary fittings and screws, so installation is quick and hassle-free.
Urfic Tubular Bathroom Easy Deadbolt
Whether upgrading existing door hardware or installing a new latch, the Urfic Easy Latch is the perfect choice. Thanks to its combination of durability and ease of use, this product is a popular choice for tradespeople.
Notably, the Easy Latch is three times quicker to fit than a traditional tubular latch: simply drill using a 26mm bit and tap it into place. This push-fit design makes it easy to install without the need for any special tools or equipment and is designed to fit most standard doors.
