XFORT Colossus Dual Finish 3 Star Kitemarked Thumb Turn Euro Cylinder Lock 35EX/35T (70mm), British Standard TS007 Anti-Snap Barrel Lock, Upvc Door Lock.

Easy to fit, less than ten minutes. The thumb turn is a revelation, no more locking out family members by leaving key in the lock inside. Only slight criticism is that the keys are a little stiff to turn sometimes but will hopefully improve as they bed in. Overall I would recommend these locks

Good product. Ordered extra keys that didn't work but John of customer replaced them straight away after seeing pictures. Good service.

Very nice product, easy to fit, no issues

Broke after 1 week very poor quality

I've acquired two of these locks through Vine; one with a silver keyway and this one with brass; otherwise they are identical in specification. My thoughts apply to both; as the two samples seem to be consistent.Some images have been partially blurred in my photos, for obvious reasons.I'm comparing these mostly to the identically-configured "GreenteQ Orion" locks I purchased and fitted earlier this year to another property. At the time I considered these XFORT locks, but opted for the Orions as they were (and still are) over 20% cheaper.Although the construction is similar, these XFORT locks don't quite have the same standard of finish as the latter, which is surprising given the above. The differences are minor; some slightly rough edges/surfaces on the XFORT lock and keys versus the consistent smoothness of the Orions. Stamped/etched markings aren't as sharp and the interior knobs don't quite have the same feel.Don't get me wrong; nothing is bad or even unsatisfactory by any means; but the Orions look and feel like premium locks in every way. These XFORT locks don't quite achieve that; but I can't mark them down as there is nothing wrong with them.I do prefer the keys supplied with the XFORT, as they have plastic over-moulded handles that the others do not.However overall I'd definitely recommend the GreenteQ Orions over these XFORT; even if the pricing were the same.Fitting of these Euro Cylinder locks is, as always, very easy provided you don't get a seized retaining bolt.

I have GreenteQ Orion locks on the rest of the house and this made an interesting comparison for fitting on the 'internal' door of our conservatory (a place where a thumb turn could not be accessed without breaching the external Orion locks) They have all the usual Kite Marked 3 Star features such as a sacrificial external side that will snap off leaving the lock mechanism intact and secure inside the door if someone tries to snap the lock. Really easy to fit, remove a screw, pop out the old lock (after twisting the key to align it to slide out), pop in the new lock and insert the new screw. The thumb turn has an easy satisfying action and a read mark to indicate it's locked state. Visually the lock looks good and the keys are significantly smaller then the Orion keys. A little more expensive than an equivalent GreenteQ Orion but little in it, my choice would come down to whether I prefer a chunky in your face key or a more dainty one.

The media could not be loaded. Needed a new lock for one of my internal doors. The satin nickel finish matches my door handles and key hole cover. Installation was a breeze if you know what your doing. A quick 5min YouTube can help with this. Took me about 4 minutes to remove the old lock and fit new one.The cylinder fits securely, no stickiness / stiffness with the locking mechanism and it came with 5 good keys.

This is an excellent lock. It's a high security lock was very easy to fit and looks really good from both sides.Be sure to measure properly.I would definitely recommend.
