Locks Apecs (Apex)

Recently moved to a new building. There, the developer installed the front door, which is not very durable with a guardian lever lock and a cylinder lock of the same brand with the fuaro cylinder (larva) (photo). I have nothing against this brand, but this larva was weak and we decided to replace it.

Choose from an average price category, since the door is not the most durable. The choice fell on Apecs with a punched key. I have no comments, it works properly. The main thing is to lubricate the lock bolts once a year. If you are looking for a larva for a stutter from an average price category - feel free to choose Apecs!

It is patented.

Not.

I have long bought a door with a guardian lock and apex larva, it has been working perfectly for more than three years. Once a year I lubricate with graphite grease on the advice of a friend of the master and everything works EXCELLENT.

price quality

for the price they are not !!!

The door handle (internal) was enough for a year of use. Broke because it is made of salumin, and not from normal metal. Now the square periodically flies out and because of this I can not get home.

Beautiful)

Weak design

I have a double entrance door, the first has an Apecs-brand lock, and the second has a cheaper Chinese counterpart. Locks were installed at one time, the first one works properly, without problems, and the second one broke even half a year after installation. Without hesitation, I decided to put the Apecs lock on the second door, especially since in operation it proved to be the best.

There were no problems with the installation, there is nothing complicated here, I had to drill a couple of times and that's it. The design of the locks is stylish, minimalist, they are made of high-quality and durable material. Each lock has a set of 6 keys, and this also can be attributed to the merits, you do not have to make duplicates.

The Apecs brand, completely suits me, it produces stylish and most importantly high-quality locks. I advise, at least they do not fail me.

quality, price

weak

I have two Apecs locks, one padlock and one mortise. The first one has been working properly for several years installed outdoors, though under a canopy. I open / close it several times a day, there are no complaints about it (though rubber seals have fallen off, but I close my eyes to it), I am completely satisfied with the lock.
But with a mortise lock, things are not so good. I don’t close the door with a key at all, I only use the latch. The lock was naturally lubricated, but nevertheless, the lock is jamming steadily in the closed position of the door. I'm already tired of this, now I am forced to drill the larva and thereby get rid of this problem.
Based on my experience, I can only recommend padlocks from this manufacturer. But you shouldn’t pay attention to mortise ones, just torment yourself with them and throw money away.

padlocks normal

terrible mortise

I was tormented with my castle, so I decided to write in order to warn all potential buyers about the quality. I have a cylindrical lock mechanism installed in the door for the lock from the APECS manufacturer of the SC-M70-Z-C series, in gold.

I'll start first, my core in the lock broke, I had to change it urgently and at that time only the core from APECS SC-M70-Z-C series came up.

Advertising on this lock is certainly impressive, which only manufacturers do not promise: high secrecy, protection against tampering with a master key, hardened rod and others.

Lock size 30X10X30, warranty from the manufacturer for 3 years. the lock is closed from the side of the street with a key, and from the side of the apartment with a mechanical latch. In addition to the lock, 5 sets of keys were attached.
There were no problems with the installation, but during the operation the lock proved to be not the best. It is rather flimsy, it closes just one turn. Pull only on a weak three.

spare keys, accessories included, easy installation.

bad defense.

About a year ago, I bought a Basic padlock from Apecs. The castle is simple, hanging. The Chinese brand produces low-cost products, but at the same time, the quality of the goods almost does not suffer.
My castle was packed in a cardboard box with information about the castle. The padlock is made in black metallic, the logo of the manufacturer’s brand is embossed on it. The elongated eye is made of steel, the groove of the cylindrical mechanism is located at the bottom of the lock. The lock opens and closes easily, it is not difficult to use it.

In addition to the lock, three sets of keys are attached, the principle of operation of the mechanism is simple. Just insert the key, turn it, the ear opens.

The cost of the castle is 151 rubles, for me it's just a great price, you can say almost for nothing. So I recommend that the brand is responsible, it produces solid products.
