Two_pints Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 How reliable are Asec euro cylinders? I heard Asec’s Kite Elite has a sensitive clutch that’s a failure risk. Opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Only sold a few, never had any issues other than one being snapped when the customer dropped it on the floor while fitting. Two_pints 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CummingsLocks Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Wish I could find a reliable 3* cylinder... thinking of just selling 1* now - too many returns and call outs to failed ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10ringo10 Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Uap + and the Zerolift are worth a look at. Handles make a big difference too. Ringo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Micota’s anti-snap design (used by Asec and various others) frequently fails because of clutch problems. Any idea if it’s true? Are Yale, Mul-T-Lock or Evva more reliable?

You might want to look into the warranty it’s not what they say it is. Just another cheap cylinder nothing special Two_pints 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lock Stock Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 For me I feel the Multlock 3XP is one of the best. Design wise and quality of the product it stands out stands out, Aldi being Multlock very reliable. The other similar but not as well designed would be the ABS Master (not the super, federal built one). Two_pints 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
