Hallo, I'm from Poland and I have a problem with choosing a lock-cylinder. In Poland we have not many locks you write about - modeco, fichet, corbin emhart, schlage etc. I was looking in shops and I found those ones: KABA quattro S, EVVA



3KS, EVVA DPI, EVVA Dual, ABUS EC850, KESO 2000, Abloy Disklock Pro, Abloy Protec, ASSA 6000-7000 and that's all. Most of then are described here:

I am looking at cylinders for my own property and so have looked at a few of those you mention.

My preference would be the ASSA 7000, 6pins + sidebar, narrow keyway, drill resistant and anti-pull. Proven pedigree & no gimmicks.

Is this a eurocylinder? Be aware that they are vulnerable to physical attack but this can be reduced if you fit a security escutcheon fixed through the door. Make sure that cylinder does not protrude more than a couple of mm from the door or escutcheon if fitted.

If you can get an Abus XP10 I would recommend it, but not the EC850.

Hope that helps

Sorry to follow up on my own post, but just found some more info on Evva and the Dual looks like a v tough cylinder with some nice features so that would be another one for the list.
