Review: These are great locks, providing extra security and peace of mind. - I've been using the Enfield version of these locks for years and have to say they have been really good. Recently (after 10 years of use) one of the locks jammed in the locked position - which was very difficult to fix seeing as I couldn't get into the garage. I'm putting the lock failure down to the fact water got into it and I hadn't oiled it enough. We eventually got it open but I needed to replace the lock fast. The Enfield versions didn't offer next day (or even 2 day) delivery so I thought I'd give the ASEC versions a try, seeing as they were available for next day express delivery. Sure enough, they arrived before 10am and were fitted to the garage by 11am. As these were replacing existing locks, I didn't need to do any drilling but even so, the drilling bit is pretty easy provided you measure up first. 5 holes per lock is what you need. 2 for each coach bolt, one for the lock hole, 1 for the shackle bolt to pass through the side of the garage door and 1 in the frame where the shackle bolt secures. If you want to fit the scutcheons, then you'll need to drill a further 2 small holes to secure it to the door with rivets or screws. For anyone replacing Enfield locks, the ASEC are identical in every way. The quality is the same, the size is the same and the bolts are the same distance apart. They are a direct swap. The keys on the ASEC do seem a little cheaper than the Enfield versions but they actually slide into the locks easier and encounter no resistance. I have had the Enfield keys twist and break on me a few times but those locks did seem stiffer to operate. For those reviewers saying they find it annoying that the keys can only go into the lock in one orientation, rather any of the four possible positions, you are right. However, each key has a dimple on the thumb piece which indicates the orientation the key needs to be in. The dimple needs to be on the upper side. The Enfield locks were the same and having the dimple takes away the guess work, even in the dark. As a testament to the locks, there were a lot of break ins in our area and on one occasion the entire row of garages were broken in to. The scallywags had jimmied every door open, taken what they wanted and set fire to the lot of them. The only garage to survive was mine. You could see where they had tried to bend the bottom of the door up but the locks had stopped them going higher than the shackle bolt. The police and fire investigator said that the locks had done their job and saved my garage and my car within. So, if you want to keep your garage door secure and protect the contents inside, fit a pair of these locks.

Is it possible to change the barrel?** A: no **Q: Is lock compatible with roller garage door?** A: The lock will stop the door from moving in whichever direction (i.e. for an up and over door they essentially stop forwards and backwards movement, whereas for a roller garage door they will up upwards - and downwards - movement. Hence you could get creative and have more stops to stop the roller door at different heights). **Q: what diameter is the actual bolt please?** A: From recollection I guess the actual bolts to be between 12 and 15mm but, due to the nature of the locks, they are good additional security for garage doors. Maybe buy them first and then buy the drill bit needed for the bolts, if that's the issue. I love these bolts as a good addition to customers' garages. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These are great locks, providing extra security and peace of mind. *by J***N on 4 May 2017* I've been using the Enfield version of these locks for years and have to say they have been really good.

The existing lock was not hugely strong and I wanted a solution that was reasonably priced and robust. These locks looked just the job. Fitting was a bit tricky as the metal garage door is ribbed vertically and so fitting the bolts to slide into the side pillars was not viable. So I fitted them vertically at the bottom of the door to slide into the concrete floor. A template for drilling the holes required would be very helpful as trying to measure and drill the holes accurately was quite difficult. Also fitting to a metal door requires some unusual drill bit sizes which I didn't own meaning I had to buy 3 drill bits - an 11mm HSS, a 3.5mm HSS and either 13 or 17 mm bits to make the holes to receive the bolts (the larger if the metal reinforcing sleeves are to be used)the latter being quite pricey as I required masonry bits for the concrete. Having now fitted them I am very happy with the quality and the door is now immovable when the bolts are in place. The key hole covers are very nice looking too. The three keys supplied are strong and robust and very secure. Note they will only fit the lock one way round and it's not easy to tell immediately which is right, so chances of getting it right first time are slim. Especially as they are not the same orientation on both locks when fitted vertically! In summary - I'm very pleased with the quality and added security, but fitting was a bit of a pain! ## Frequently Bought Together - Asec AS1997 Garage Door Lock - Black - Shed Alarm Home Security Wireless | Shed Garage Lockup Summer House | Easy Self Install Waterproof Vibration Tech 113db Exceptionally Loud - British Made Black Powder Coated Garage Defender Master - Best Garage Security --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/48266668-as1997-garage-door-lock-black](https://www.desertcart.at/products/48266668-as1997-garage-door-lock-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
