Just about to replace 5 locks in our house 4 Euro and one cylinder due to someone loosing a key. Currently they are all ABS snap secure three star locks keyed alike. After a comment on here a few weeks ago where someone mentioned they weren't actually that hard to open its made me thing it might be time to change brand.

The next obvious choice seemed Ultion but I have just seen the same tool for the ABS locks can have more blades fitted with covers Ultion and the Yale three star locks.

Any recommendations? I would also like a master key system so the keys I give out to family only open one door, in the event of this happening again I then only have to change one lock.

I already have ABS locks. I was just wondering if there was anything better as with a £120 tool most of the decent locks ABS, Ultion etc can be bumped within seconds.

I can get my current locks recoded with a new key set which is going to save me a few hundred pounds so I'm going to do that now. There doesn't seem any lock significantly better within reasonable cost.

I've got the keyed throughout Mul-T-Lock in my house. One question though, why would losing a key mean changing the locks? Do you have your home address on your keyring? I'd just get a new key unless theres' some other reason?

The key was lost in a park where loads of gypsy's hang around. They retraced their steps and couldn't find it so I'm not comfortable it is just lost and they could have been followed back here after. It is just not worth the risk to me that someone may have a key to my house. On a side note if you get robbed and theres no forced entry apparently a lot of insurance polices will void you claim (from what I've read online).

I'm not that worried I was merely asking if there was anything better for the money.

Seems EVVA are about the best you can get, cost way more than ABS or Ultion locks though.
