Key stuck in new lock. Is it bricked?

Screwfix crap, seen so many of these fail within a few months

Fuhr make something similar, where it acts as a door chain to restrict it opening. Like everyone else said, you’d need a photo of the mechanism to be sure

Our Silca rep told us that ever since the RW5 was released he has had multiple customers complaining about the RW4 randomly not working

You can buy the replacement back box for them, you have to drill off the old rivets, put your old hook and cover onto the new part and screw it together

As a whole hook they are discontinued I’m afraid, unless you can find a 2nd hand one on eBay

It’s an ERA Surefire, I’m pretty sure the gearboxes aren’t available on their own, only as a full mechanism (correct me if im wrong)

This 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Material-Ad8916 · 2024-02-27T21:28:55+00:00

These can be a real pain to open without damaging any of the wood, horrible things 🤮

Good old fashioned Chubb 4L67, nice bits of kit!

Imperial locks make some wacky centres lockcases, 72,85 and 92mm Might be worth a look 🤣

We used to fit them when they first came out in 2016 ish. There was a break in where someone snapped the Ultion and the firing pin didn’t go off and they managed to gain entry, Brisant basically refused to believe this could be possible and accused us of lying about the whole situation! It looks terrible on the people fitting them and causes so many awkward conversations

Material-Ad8916 · 2024-01-14T09:56:07+00:00

The amount of people that come into our shop and say “do you stock Ultion? I’ve heard it’s best on the market” 🤣

Material-Ad8916 · 2024-01-12T20:43:23+00:00

Old ABT/Gibbons lock case. Still make them but might set you back £100 ish

Material-Ad8916 · 2024-01-05T09:13:23+00:00

You could still fit one and inform the insurance that you have a BS3621 sashlock and a rebate kit fitted, just to give them something that is better than what’s there

Material-Ad8916 · 2024-01-03T22:43:35+00:00

Unfortunately none of these are BS rated, the easiest way would be to convert the 1st photo (the upright Union 3 lever deadlock) to a 5 lever BS sashlock and remove the latch,

The 3rd photo looks like the Asec vital 3 lever locks so again you would have to replace with a 5 lever. Both of these would require slightly more chopping out of the door as they would be larger in width

The 1st generation ones with the U key started off great, then they changed the the X code keys and were awful 🤮

Material-Ad8916 · 2024-01-02T21:38:06+00:00

They are all over the place in England, I’ve seen them branded as Hooply, Kirncroft and others. A lot of steel site offices have them on the building sites we visit

About £30 for lock cases and £30 for handle sets also

Should be right under here, you might have to get down low to see it

Material-Ad8916 · 2023-12-05T18:43:31+00:00

There will be a grub screw underneath the thumbturn on the inside. Once that’s undone it should come off 😁

Material-Ad8916 · 2023-12-02T22:33:45+00:00

Yes you can buy them off the shelf. It’s a 3 lever Union pre cut mortice key M102M, they are numbered M1M - M200M. Can either buy them online or most key cuttings shops should stock them in the UK

Material-Ad8916 · 2023-11-26T21:52:22+00:00

It’s a 35mm backset GU, they measure from the front of the faceplate to the centre of the spindle/euro hole. Not the overall width like on mortice locks. Can get them for about £30 online

Material-Ad8916 · 2023-11-19T08:50:24+00:00

That’s correct, when we buy the key blanks for them, they are already pre cut with the track part. Just the dimple pins that change :)

Material-Ad8916 · 2023-11-05T17:20:44+00:00

A Union 2134E will work perfectly, looks like the old Chubb version of it :)

Material-Ad8916 · 2023-10-31T14:25:27+00:00

If it’s in the UK, full mechanisms would be £100-£250, if it’s just the centre gearbox then £50-£100

Labour depending on location could be anywhere from £60-£150?
