Where to buy Evva or Abloy Locks in the USA?

Postby calmkelp » 11 Jan 2007 18:46

I've searched all over the net and called some local lock smiths and so far I'm coming up dry.

I live in the Seattle area and am looking to upgrade my door locks (along with other measure) and would love something like the Evva MCS or Abloy Protec in a dead bolt.

So the questions are:

1) Can you even get a dead bolt with the Abloy Protec?
2) Does anyone know of a source in the US for these locks?

If I can't find those locks, I may end up going with Medaco Biaxial or Schlage Primus, but I would really prefer the Evva or Abloy.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

So are their any decent locks actually sold in the US? Specifically dead bolts... Other than say, Schlage Primus and Medeco?

I've found a few places that may have Mul-T-Lock, but that's about as far as it goes.

You should be able to locate abloy protec in the states but it is going to take some legwork to find. Be prepared to shell out high dollars though. I still think dollar for dollar one of the best deals going is a guy on ebay selling new Medeco M3 deadbolts for around $105 (I think that is the shipped price).
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

PM Omikron, he has contracts with everybody and anybody.

Failing that, email Han Fey, who will most likely sell you all the Abloys you want. An email to toool@xs4all.nl with a request to forward on to Han should get you where you want to go.
