Verrouillage régulier

Jon, our European correspondent, has sent through an absolute magnifique toilet lock. Here's what he had to say:

"On a recent stay in a delightful pension in France I was fortunate enough to be at the mercy of this little fella.

Immediately I was taken by the satisfaction of turning that rotary knob anti-clockwise to fully witness the locking mechanism take effect. The knob was like something you'd find on the heating control of a 1987 Mercedes E class; it felt like it would last a lifetime!

While this lock was truly functional, it was petite (yes,that's french) and I'm not convinced it could stand up to a stampede of French buffalo (who I might add are notoriously dangerous in this region).

And for the looks; well too many support screws (6 in total) and with that fake gold appearance it was like something you would find in the jewellery section of the Argos catalogue.

But, all in all, a solid performer! Well done France!"

Well, that says it all really.

Lockability 5/5
Securibilty 2/5
Lookability 3/5 ( I actually think it looks awesome)
