Castles Crete

Crete was recommended to me by my former boss, when I worked in the manufacture of doors, he often bought locks, latches, etc. from them. Moreover, this is our domestic company, and I believe that our production in some areas is of a high level.

Now I have my own production, my own business. We make oak and not only doors. Iron began to launch only this year. Of course, of its own production, which means - locks and any additional accessories should also be domestic, and not foreign.

It turns out that for about a year now I have been cooperating with the Crete company, purchasing on a regular basis in bulk various additional accessories, locks, handles, eyes and everything else.

Not long ago I saw that there are video eyes, which is very convenient and safe for those who care about the reliability of their doors. Customers will be pleased to purchase such eyes, albeit at an additional cost. I haven’t seen the video eyes before. probably did not pay attention. Now I have a new idea, to do a series of iron doors for apartments with just such eyes.

I am glad that the company of Crete is constantly updating something, interesting locks with handles appear. It is very convenient to buy in bulk, when there is continuous production, it is most beneficial. Moreover, here they are always quickly contacted to discuss details, resolve any issues promptly and, most importantly, deliver goods quickly.

In terms of quality, I can safely say that they have it at a high level. at my very home is their lock and bolt. For half a year now, everything works perfectly and reliably. The lock is strong, the bolt keeps the door dead, even if you do not lock it.
I also took the electronic lock from them - put it on the door of the country house. Cool thing, also reliable and looks very cool by the way. I didn’t want such an apartment, it’s easier for me to understand the keys anyway.

But in general, the company of Crete does not stand still and keeps up to date! I am very glad that I cooperate with them, they are responsible for quality and reliability! Therefore, who is engaged in a similar business, you can safely cooperate with them.

quickly work, reliable locks

did not notice

We are a management company, we ordered a batch of locks under one key. It is very convenient to open the basements and doors of those rooms with one key and it is much easier to arrange access for staff. We ordered level locks ЗВ-А32. The locks are additionally reinforced with an armored plate on the case from drilling, which is very nice. In our case, the need is quite unique and we are very glad that we found a solution.

The quality of the locks is decent, defective NOT ONE !!!
The price is just SUPER! Planned much more expensive.
It is possible to order locks with a different configuration than the catalog. Make at the factory in Moscow.
The long key, the doors are mostly ancient and very thick, the usual key is missing.
In case of breakage of the lock can make the same under my key.

There is no way to take in small batches .. If you need 2 or 3 locks most likely do not buy.

A couple of years ago I bought the Bulldors -13 front door in which the CRIT 7RM-004 is installed as the main lock. I have been using it for about 2 years, everything works, I do not have to lubricate, it does not jam. In my opinion, the best castle is the one that you don’t know anything about, but I had to delve into the topic when the upper Border ЗВ8-8Д / 13 failed and the guarantee was over, changed it to crit m10 and was happy as an elephant.

+ reliability
+ price
+ looks decent
+ for m10 there is a super sophisticated armor (I won’t tell about secrecy, but it looks very scary)

- difficult to find at retail
- I had to drill holes on the end of the door

Very negative, I won’t buy such locks anymore.

Price

For a year and a half 2 castles failed.

I put the main lock A900 like this ... I will not describe the installation process, I am very pleased with the result. In the castle everything you need is a lever lock and cylinder lock, and a gate valve. The lock is sequential, first you need to open the lock with the larva then the level lock, it is not very familiar, but the hole of the upper lock is closed when the bottom is closed.

All in one, build quality on top, warranty.

Setting the field of another castle is difficult.

We have been cooperating with Crete-M for 4 years already. We purchase accessories and locks for our doors. Satisfied with the quality of products, a good combination of price / quality, of course you can buy a Chinese castle much cheaper, but you will not have to expect much from it. Crete does make castles in Moscow, the production is located in the same building as the sales department, if you come to pay for it yourself make sure. Of all the products, I like A8 locks and the fire line of locks (if we consider fire locks of other manufacturers, the prices bite).

- Product certificates
- Metal quality
- Operational execution of orders
- Good discount for wholesalers
- Pleasant managers

- Location

I purchased the ZV-A8 lock, as well as handles and pads for it directly in the company's sales department.
To get to the sales department you have to go through the factory where these locks are made, so buying for me has become a little more and an excursion into the world of hardware.
The castle was installed instead of Crete A3. Everything fell without any modifications.

The handle to the lock was picked up by the RF-6690; it can be lifted up for convenient closing of the lock.
It is a pity that there was no 8890 handle (the same only with a bearing) originally planned to buy it.

Now I am satisfied with the work of the castle, soft tearing and closing, I hope it will serve faithfully like my previous brother.

- Simplicity, reliability.
- Price

- It's hard to buy

Despite numerous statements by the company about the availability of its production and design base in Moscow (Moscow region?), All of their products are manufactured in China. I became interested in this issue by looking at the disgusting quality of their Assistant series cylinder lock.

The handle design is a complete anachronism. The use of ball bearings is a major mistake! He will carry the whole structure together with the spring. An example of a lock with a square bearing. The alignment of the two handles on the door is not easy, so there will always be distortions at such a lock. When I took it apart, I saw that there were 5 barrels on one side and six on the other. This is such a new word in achieving security so that the thief does not guess.

Low price.

Locks full of trash.

Locks sold under the brand name of CRIT are ordinary Chinese trash. If such a “protective” mechanism were not standing at the door being bought, then I would not even have touched it. Judge for yourself its reliability CRIT lock model ЗВ-7РК-005:

1. The castle is ordinary Chinese trash.
2. The crossbar is short.
3. Welding of the crossbar and comb is weak.
4. The springs on the handle are soft.
5. No spin protection.
6. The lock case is thin.
7. No shank protection from drilling.
8. The locking suvald does not have a single retaining tooth and is easily wrung out from the cylinder cam.
9. The latch of the lock does not have a lock and is easily wrung out.
10. The lock scheme, judging by the quality of execution, is intended for use under Chinese cylinders, the breaking resistance of which is zero.

except for the price did not find

all the rest

In the process, most of the key components (larvae) for crete locks are now available in China. In fact, they are copies from Italian locks of CISA, only in 2004. Since then, the Italian company has repeatedly remade and improved its products, and the crete locks have remained in one place, both in terms of the complexity of the mechanism and the reliability of hacking, and in the low quality of the products.

Now about my story. After acquiring the front door, the set of which included the Crete lock, problems began with the opening of the lock. The outer side of the larva turned noticeably tighter than the inner. Over time, this effect did not disappear, but only worsened. The interchanging of the larva did not lead to anything, now the door does not open well from the inside. I’ll change the whole castle that has not worked for a year.

Low price, easy to repair.

Low quality, hard to open.
