Cred,

You must be looking at the wrong page of the catalogue. They have a comprehensive range of Euros/Ovals etc. in both brass and nickel.

The catalogue, if I remember correctly, is split into equal length Euros, off set sizes, and then singles and turn versions.

If you have a problem identifying them, let me know the sizes you're after and I'll drop you the order codes.

As Rockford says, they basically have a full range of Euro cylinders in brass and nickel.

Asec stuff is cheap, but it's not tacky. I took a rim cylinder apart the other day and it had three spool pins, as well as having an awkward keyway for picking. Not bad for £1.50!

Ask them to send you an Asec buyers guide.

Most of the staff at aldridge are total muppets. Without using the full order code most of them would need a road map to find the toilets.

So as previously suggested get a copy of the buyers guide, and wherever possible order by fax. I used to try ordering by email but with only limited success - it may have improved though.

The prices are great, but agree with the customer service - terrible. I've had misplaced orders, missing items, and very long delivery times. If you live near to one of the stores - drop in and buy your stock in person.

I knew they were good security cylinders for the price, but I didn't know they were that good, for sale on eBay - Asec high security euro cylinder lock - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 56797&rd=1

Apparently, and I quote - "Security status very high as the cylinders house 5 pins"

Buy it now for £12.99 including p&p...maybe I'll continue buying them from Aldridge for a good tenner less...
