APECS AP v3 3 star thumbturn euro cylinder

A BSI 3 Star Kitemark, Sold Secure Diamond euro cylinder with a key outside and a thumbturn inside.

The APECS AP v3 is updated to meet the latest TS007-1:2024 requirements. It provides resistance to snapping and freeze attacks, as well as drilling, plug extraction, picking and bumping. The thumbturn lets you lock and unlock from inside without a key, and it stays operable from inside after an attack without a release button.

Choose your finish and the confirmed internal/external size option shown for this listing. Availability varies by size, finish and operation. A standard single cylinder includes three all-metal keys. Custom-built keyed-alike and master-suite key quantities are explained below. Extra cut keys are £14.99 each + VAT.

Keyed alike: £14.99 + VAT for each cylinder after the first in each independent group. Your cylinders are custom-built to work with the same key. Each complete AP set includes 3 keys in total, regardless of the number of cylinders, rather than a separate key pack for every cylinder. Extra cut keys are £14.99 each + VAT.

Master suite: £14.99 + VAT to master-key every cylinder. Every cylinder is repinned to your agreed master-key system, so 0 keys are included. Every individual door/group key and every master key is ordered separately at £14.99 each + VAT. Order at least one master key. A master key opens only its assigned doors; keys for a shared door group are counted once for that group.
