Locks that work

Thanks for that Hatbeard; it shows that Pragma has not been kept in the loop (pun alert!).

@Pragma, No.....I don't have a problem carrying different keys - I keep them together on a keyring. Doesn't everyone?

And as for your backing for made-in-Britain, I do applaud your faith in UK manufacture, but in truth, for companies that need to maximise profits, a lot of manufacture made in China does make financial sense, and it can be of the best quality [Apple demonstrates this well].

I'm not that bothered about the lock being a five or six pin cylinder affair. I think it probably made down to a price point, and on this thread, the Squire Hammerhead lock is considered a secondary lock, and not a main one.

Your posts are always informative, if not lengthy, and sometimes its hard to reach the end; but since you are an industry insider, I can only thank you for your input.

By the way, if you have any sway at all with Squire, can you ask them if they would consider offering again to the public their absolutely supreme Squire Paramount Plus lock? It was pure lunacy to abandon it. It is a lock that could command a premium price, and compete with the very best and strongest locks. Squire's offerings over recent years seem anaemic in comparison.
