Choosing the best French Door Locks for your home is easy, like anything, once you understand what you require.

With French doors this differs slightly compared to a standard Upvc or Composite door, as  you have two doors that open, with two euro cylinder locks. The end result is you need these locks to function with the same identical keys.

This is more than possible with the Avocet ABS Special Euro Cylinder Pair with 6x Keys - this is a special pair of euro cylinder locks for French doors that are the same colour, size and most importantly operate from the same key. What is nice about this package is that you get a total of six keys, that will all work the same locks.

This potentially sets you up for savings in the future if you decide to upgrade other locks in your home to high security ABS Euro Cylinder Locks - these additional locks can be keyed to work from your existing keys, of which you already have 6 of, saving you a fair amount per key compared to getting additional keys cut.

We feel the best French door locks for your home is the ABS Euro cylinders:

  • ABS Euro Cylinders using snap secure technology that snaps the cylinder from the outside, blocking the internal door mechanism if someone tries to break in. The ABS Euro Cylinder has a unique patented technology that locks the cam into place in this situation.
  • In addition ABS Euro cylinders also come with a personal key card, without your personal key card key copies cannot be purchased. This provides enhanced security as keys lent out cannot be copied without your knowledge.
  • ABS Euro Cylinders are rated TS007 - 3 Star, in addition achieve the coveted Sold Secure Diamond Locks Cylinder Security Test SBD (Secured By Design Accreditation)

For those wanting extra piece of mind we have also recommended the Patlock French Door Security Dead Lock Patio Handle Bolt Security Device for many years.

This is an high quality security device that was even once featured on the BBC's Break In Britain, along with Dragons Den. Essentially with a Patlock even if the Euro Cylinder locks are attacked and some how compromised, the Patlock will remain in place and keep the doors securely locked.

The Patlock comes with new Patlock security spindles to fit to your existing door handles, once these are fitted correctly the new spindles prevent the door handles from been removed on the inside, even if the handle set is broken off externally, providing a great additional layer of security.
