legge BS

[pinpusher]

Does anyone know any thing about the legge bs2005 lock as the old one is a favorite with my local HA.Have been on the IR web site but no news.Have left note so they can reply but have seen nothing yet on them.I for one will miss the old lock.

A lot of locks are now being made to the new euro standards hence the chubb 114E's etc. Most of these have a 20mm bolt throw, so are quite strong but can be picked. Not heard of the legge one yet but it explains why we have the new era fortress etc. Now we have to wait for the new decoders from safe ventures/ john falle or get picking by hand, the latter being the cheaper option

I would have thought that most new locks would still conform to existing depths and spaces to allow new locks to be keyed up to old keys ? as such existing tools & techniques may remain effective.

Legge have told me they are working on new lock to BS2005 & will be ready mid Jan 2006 (open ended levers but latch will remain same pull & turn). They will send me one when ready & i will post a report.

Anyone got a new blue Legge? BS but levers are even closer to the curtain. Not seen myself yet.
