Eurospec - Euro Profile High Security Cylinder Deadlock 76mm - Satin Stainless Steel

Eurospec Euro Profile High Security Cylinder Deadlock – 76mm (3")

The Eurospec High Security Cylinder Deadlock (76mm) is a premium architectural-grade locking solution designed for maximum protection in domestic, commercial, and industrial environments. Engineered by Carlisle Brass, this deadlock is a staple for national house builders due to its rigorous testing and long-term reliability.

This 76mm lock case (offering a 57mm backset) is specifically built to accommodate a Euro Profile Cylinder, allowing you the flexibility to choose between keyed-alike systems, master key suites, or thumbturn cylinders for easy egress.

Key Features & Benefits

• British Standard Rated: Tested to BS EN 12209 and BS3621 (when fitted with the correct cylinder), ensuring it meets insurance requirements for external doors.

• High-Security Build: Features a hardened steel deadbolt and drill-resistant plates to thwart forced entry attempts.

• Fire Safety Certified: Certifire tested and FD30/60 rated, making it suitable for 30 and 60-minute timber fire doors.

• Versatile Compatibility: The "Easi-T" system allows for quick and easy reversibility without opening the lock case, saving time on installation.

• Extended Warranty: Backed by a 10 to 25-year mechanical guarantee (varies by specific model SKU), reflecting its industrial-grade durability.

Technical Specifications

Comparison: Eurospec vs. Standard Competitors

When choosing between the Eurospec 76mm Deadlock and a standard budget competitor (like a generic 5-lever mortice lock or a non-rated contract lock), here is how they stack up:

• Security Standard: Most budget locks lack the BS3621 Kitemark, which is often a mandatory requirement for UK home insurance. Eurospec’s high-security range is purpose-built to meet these standards.

• Flexibility: Unlike a fixed 5-lever mortice lock (where the whole lock must be replaced if keys are lost), the Eurospec Deadlock uses a Euro Cylinder. This means you can upgrade the cylinder to an anti-snap/anti-pick version (like a 3-star Kitemark) without changing the entire deadlock mechanism.

• Longevity: Standard locks typically offer a 1-2 year warranty. Eurospec provides a 10-25 year mechanical guarantee, making it a "fit and forget" solution for high-traffic areas.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Does this lock come with the key cylinder?

No, this is the lock case only. You will need to purchase a Euro Profile Cylinder (Double, Single, or Cylinder & Turn) separately to operate the lock.

2. What is the difference between a 64mm and 76mm deadlock?

The 76mm refers to the total depth of the lock case. A 76mm lock provides a 57mm backset, which places the keyhole further away from the door edge - this is often preferred for aesthetics or to prevent fingers from catching on the frame.

3. Is this lock suitable for fire doors?

Yes. It is Certifire tested and suitable for use on FD30 and FD60 fire doors. We recommend using it in conjunction with an intumescent lock kit to maintain the door's fire integrity.

4. Can I use this on a uPVC door?

This specific mortice deadlock is designed primarily for timber (wooden) doors. While uPVC doors use Euro Cylinders, they typically require multi-point locking mechanisms rather than a single mortice case.
