BirtleyPattern 'Easyfix' Locking Handle

The price of this item reflects the quality. Although the handle assembly interchanges well-enough with the original Birtley handle dimensionally, essentially the locking mechanism is poorly manufactured and is inferior to the original Birtley type. The keys are smaller and lack strenght, One of the two keys came already in bent state, and required to be carefully straightened taking care not to fracture it. The key pattern does not seem to allow the key to smoothly rotate in the lock causing the lock to threaten to jam. Fiddling the key is needed to complete the rotation in the lock, despite ensuring that the lock was treated with lock-lubricant.I'll keep the unit in reserve and not fit it and continue to look-out for a better version.

Simple like for like replacement even though old lock is 21 years old but had to get longer bolts otherwise very satisfied

Does exactly what it's supposed to do, a good replacement for the orginal lock

Product works OK. Its too early to give review. So far no problems.
