FAQs
What does TS007 3-star mean?
TS007 is a British security standard for door hardware. A 3-star rating signifies that the cylinder meets the highest level of resistance against common burglary methods, offering maximum security for your home.
Is this lock suitable for any type of door?
This is a euro profile cylinder lock, commonly found on uPVC, composite, and some timber doors. It is crucial to measure your existing cylinder's length and configuration to ensure compatibility.
How do I measure the cylinder size needed?
Measure from the screw hole in the center of the cylinder to the edge of the lock casing on both the inside and outside faces of the door. Add these two measurements together for the total length (e.g., 35mm + 35mm = 70mm).
Can I install this lock myself?
Yes, installation is generally straightforward and can be done with basic tools. However, for absolute certainty and to ensure optimal security, professional installation is recommended.
What is Sold Secure Diamond approval?
Sold Secure is an independent testing facility. Diamond is their highest accreditation, meaning the lock has been rigorously tested and proven to resist all known burglary techniques, including the most sophisticated ones.
How does the matt black finish hold up over time?
The matt black finish is designed for durability and a modern aesthetic. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials to maintain its appearance. With proper care, it should last for many years.
Does this lock have anti-bump features?
While not explicitly listed as 'anti-bump', the ALPS (Anti-Lifting & Pitting System) technology and other advanced internal mechanisms are designed to resist various forms of manipulation, including bumping.
Troubleshooting
Key does not turn fully or is stiff.
Ensure the cylinder is correctly aligned and fully inserted. Check that the cam is properly seated. Test with the door open; if it works fine with the door open but not closed, the door frame may be expanding or contracting, requiring adjustment.
Cylinder cannot be removed.
Confirm that the correct retaining screw has been loosened. The screw is typically located on the edge of the lock case, directly above the cylinder's cam.
Lock snaps or breaks under attack.
This is unlikely with a TS007 3-star, Sold Secure Diamond approved lock. If an issue occurs, ensure the lock was installed correctly and is the appropriate size for the door. Contact customer support if a defect is suspected.
The matt black finish is damaged.
Avoid using abrasive cleaning products. For minor scuffs, a specialized metal polish for black finishes might be suitable, but test in an inconspicuous area first. Contact the manufacturer for replacement parts or specific care advice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This is a euro cylinder lock. Ensure your existing door lock mechanism is a euro profile cylinder. The critical measurement is the total length (70mm for this 35/35mm model) and how it splits from the center screw hole (35mm on each side for this model). Measure your current cylinder carefully, from the center screw hole outwards to both the inside and outside faces of your door.
Installation:
- Remove Old Cylinder: Loosen the retaining screw on the edge of the lock mechanism on the door's inside. Insert the key, turn it slightly, and push the old cylinder out from the outside. A firm but gentle push should suffice.
- Insert New Cylinder: Slide the new CERBERUS cylinder into the lock case. Ensure the cam (the part that turns inside the lock) aligns with the slot in the lock mechanism. You may need to turn the key slightly to allow the cam to slot in correctly.
- Secure Cylinder: Re-insert and tighten the retaining screw through the door's interior side into the cylinder.
- Test Operation: With the door open, test the key operation from both sides and ensure the latch bolt and deadbolt operate smoothly.
Care:
- Keep the keyhole free from debris. Avoid using lubricants like WD-40, as they can attract dust. A graphite-based lock lubricant can be used sparingly if needed.
- Clean the matt black finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
