Handy when the existing lock goes belly up. Simple to fit though you need to be careful. It is possible to install the locking cylinder with its tongue the wrong way around. If this happens you may find the door closes and locks and you can't get the thing open. Make sure all the features operate correctly before allowing the door to close. Tip.. don't install the cylinder retaining screw until you have successfully tested door closing and opening and locking and unlocking. Also you may find the square shank of the thumb lock on your existing handle set may not fit into the hole in the new lock. Some careful filing of the shank on the handle set will fix this.. Money well spent..

Handy to know that you can find the handle type is imprinted on the side of the locking system so that you get the right handle to replace the old one. Smooth operating handle. Easy to install

Solid, well made and easy to fit. Was replacing the same model that had worn more than fifteen years of daily use. It was great to be able to buy the same make and model and have it fit with such ease. Looks smart and its great to have decent spring in the handles again!

I bought this to replace an existing ~25 year old Tasman Mk2 which has worn well and I suspect has withstood at least one unauthorised entry attempt and still functions. As such it is a fairly old design. The supplied Whitco dual 5-pin tumbler "Euro-profile" lock cylinder is fair quality and as supplied had reasonably aggressive bitting (not a bad thing). This cylinder can easily be substiuted to some other better (and of course more expensive) Euro-profile cylinder as long as you get one with the "lazy cam" operation. As an old design the 5-pin cylinder does stick out from the handle assembly by about 9mm which can make the cylinder vulnerable to some force attacks. No doubt there are better alternatives to this Whitco Tasman Mk2 but those alternatives come at a higher price, sometimes much higher.Read full review
