The ABS endurance lock has emerged in the market in 2020.  The Endurance lock has been made for a specific door and window company in the UK.  These locks are British Standard, 3 star locks of the highest quality. Your ABS Master Key Code is two letters followed by 7 numbers and then four more letters.  The Key code begins with two Alpha Digits followed by seven numbers and a further four alpha digits* For example: MG2457877AFTA.  On older models the code did not include the last two alpha digits. Currently not many key cutters are offering this service.  If you are lucky enough to find someone, you may need to present your security card for authorisation.

Avocet ABS  keys are a High Security key for the ABS 3 Star Cylinder.  These keys can only be cut through an ABS Elite Centre. Usually ABS keys are cut on genuine ABS key blanks using state-of-the art machines to ensure a perfect fit every time.  To become an elite centre, companies need to stock the cylinders so a certain investment is needed by the stockist.  Bearing this in mind it is unlikely you will be able to get these cut in smaller shoe repairers or hardware stores.  This also reflects the higher prices charged for these keys. It's more likely that key cutting locksmiths or dedicated key cutting shops may be able to help.  If you have lost your card, a skilled key cutter should be able to help as long as you can show identification.  You can find your local authorised ABS Key Centre Here.

They can be be tricky to get copied.  Good calibrated machinery is necessary as well an an experienced Key Cutter or locksmith.  When you get a new key cut you should always try to lock it and unlock it with the door open to ensure it operates correctly.  If you try to do it in the closed position, and the key jams, it can cause a lot of trouble.  Please allow a number of hours for this service.

The cost of buying a new pair of quality walking boots can be high, therefore having them repaired with a quality sole makes good sense. You should be aware that a cheap, brand new pair of walking boots can often be bought for less than a quality repair, however they are often inferior quality and many find them uncomfortable. A complete resole repair can be a laborious process for the cobbler so the price often reflects this. Your boots current sole is patched or removed prepped and glued, and after the resoling process the boots are finished by hand, and then usually conditioned for waterproofing. The price guide quoted here is for the entire units. However it is often possible to get the heel or the sole repaired without replacing the entire unit. These repairs can be more cost effective and just as durable, but perhaps not quite as aesthetically pleasing.
