there does not appear to be any posts on these locks so i will start off with a brief description.
These things are popping up more and more where i am because they are cheap piles of crap. Here is why - the post is actually welded to the body of the casing - not to the bolt! This no dobut has some of you thinking how does the bolt move if the post is welded to the lock case? The bolt AND the lever pack are one unit! And yes the bolt and lever pack are riverted together so there is no way to rekey them!
So in goes your plastic headed 5 lever, 5g key into the curtain - the curtain turns liffting levers and moving the lever gates to the welded post where upon the bolt and levers moeve out into locked position
The levers have a little false notch and with a little imagination they would best look like Legge black case levers in shape.
The case has a what appears to be a hard plate welded on either side of the lock body
the package has 'made in europe' on it - where exactly in europe i don't know becasue no doubt that any specific country would want to put its name to it
with a thousand key diff's apparently - most likely because you cant rekey them and as such you would end up with this number of keys if you put them on your house.
the levers have numbers stamped on them from 0 - 6 and comes in standard 2.5 and three inch backsets. They also make euro locks as well
from this description are these being sold else where under a different name perhaps and if so how are people finding picking them? or booting them?
ps. the bolts bend real easy - and they suck as well
