I fitted this lock system and had hoped that it would fit the metal door and that the bolts would go behind the concrete door pillars on a rented council garage. I tried packing the locks back but found out the key and fixings bolts weren't quite long enough for that. I had to drill the concrete pillars for the bolts to fit into. Despite having a good battery powered hammer drill and special never break drill bits it wasn't easy. Damaged most of the drill bits used. If you think you need to space your locks back or fit into concrete, save yourself some aggravation and buy a longer key version. I wish I had done that. Apart from that they were fine.

It was a replacement for same product I bought a few years ago, and had become impossible to open. Within a week of use the new ones are already showing signs of difficulty , which appears to be the lack of correlation between lock and key. Most disappointing because I had bought the replacement only because they would fit without having to change the fixing arrangements.

These door bolts are very good. They are good quality, easy to fit and the sliding bolt is long enough to defeat most attempts to force or bend the door at that point. However - I did encounter two points worth noting. The first is that the keys (3 supplied) have cross-shaped ends which only fit into the cross-shaped locks in one orientation. That means there are three ways that a key can't be inserted into the lock and I initially thought the locks or keys were defective. If a key can't be inserted into a lock - DON'T force it! Instead, turn it through 90 degrees and try again - and then again twice more if need be. This presumably prevents the lock being forced by a screwdriver or similar object. Secondly, the coach bolts to fix the lock unit to the inside of the door have a square on the reverse of their heads. If the lock unit is fitted upside down (as I did at first!) the square prevents the lock butting against the inside surface of the door. Close inspection shows the square on the bolt fits into a corresponding square in the mountings of the lock unit and everything is snug when the lock unit is correctly fitted. Read full review

I wanted extra security for my campervan stable door. So I fitted 4, 2 top door 2 bottom door. Really secure. A little fiddle as, being circular in profile, there is no way of know which way the keys going in the locks. Think about a Yale - the way in is obvious, not with cylindrical keys. So I always have to take out the key and put in again in another direction. Good locks, and thick strong bolts.

Got these at a very good price. A very solid lock and easy to install. The lock and key is a bit fiddly at first, cos there's 4 ways the key could be inserted but only one will actually go in. There's a dimple on the key, which should be vertical when the key is inserted in the lock. That way you get it right first time.
