I was going to suggest Walters Group, since I've bought from them,

then realised it's the same company.

Looking at their cylinder prices, there is a fair choice of
products
and the prices look reasonable to me.

Two things. Check the dimensions very carefully. It is quite
common for the cam not to be central along the length of the
barrel,
so that matters as well as overall 85mm length,

Secondly, the knob is not lockable, so if the door has a glass
panel
you do have a potential security risk. On the other hand, if you
are
concerned about quick exit in case of fire, then this may be
acceptable to you.

Yes they look pretty reasonable, just wanted to see if there were
cheaper!!

I need 40 on the inside and 45 on the outside, I have emailed them to
check the sizing. Fire safety is an issue but the reason I want to
change is much more simple - I locked myself out!! the door slammed
to but the keys were still in the door so although 2 of my neighbours
had keys (because I always feared this would happen) I couldn't get
back in.....................had to pay £75 for a locksmith to come
with a sturdy tool to pull the keys out. Good job I had keys he
would have charged me another £70 to take the lock out which he said
would involve breaking the handle too............and of course a
replacement lock..........I doubt I would have seen much change out
of £200!!
