YalePM562 High Security BS 5 Lever Mortice Dead Lock 76mm 3-inch - Polished Brass Finish - 2 Keys Included

For an American who loves locksport, it's very nice to be able to affordably get these locks. Excellently made, good challenge. And delivered to me early (your mileage may vary).

Very difficult to get excited about locks but I’m happy with the quality and it was fairly easy to install as I was replacing a similar type of lock. However I have deducted a star as it came with only 2 keys! I would have thought most households would require 4. I paid £22 for the lock and it be about £15 to get 2 more keys cut. How barmy is that? Have Yale done a deal with Timpsons?

Product fitted with minimal effort to enlarge existing hole in door by making it deeper with a 6mm chisel which took 10mins. Result of this lock being slightly larger was that the keyhole also needed to be moved about 5mm. I had make the keyhole larger and then to use plastic wood to fill areas visible above keyhole covers but this is due to previous lock being non British Std and not due to the Yale lock being incorrectly sized.The lock functions smoothly and does everything it is meant to.The lock was ordered for next day delivery. However an empty amazon cardboard envelope arrived. Amazon were great and simply marked the first lock as returned and sent out a new lock which arrived the next day. Had to call amazon as the Web based system did not have a method to lock the arrival of an empty box ( difficult to return an item that was not in the box delevered). Since the lock was sent from Amazon direct and not a 3rd party it was an error by Amazon anc not Yale. Eitherway the issue was instantly resolved by the Amazon call centre personnel.I have no complaints. I am totally satisfied.

Looks nice. Was relatively easy to replace our old lock – we picked this one because the dimensions were close.We initially thought it was really scratched up, and worried that we received a returned product, or a cheap knock-off. It was only after we'd installed the lock that we realised the faceplates had a plastic covering that made them look that way. Once we stripped that off, it looked pristine.Only comes with two keys, but we got copies made at Morrisons without any issues. £10 for 3 keys.

The lock on an outbuilding door had become very temperamental so I bit the bullet and bought this one. It has the same backset but the body itself was a bit bigger so there was a bit of drilling and chiselling to do. All good now though and I think it was a good price. Pleased with the purchase.

This is the sort of lock most home insurance requires. It was larger than the non-BS 5 lever lock I had previously, so needed some work with a chisel and mallet. A fairly reasonable job for a competent DIYer, but others might need to employ a handyman to fit it.
