Best ABUS lock cylinder for the door you measured

Updated: October 2026

You have already measured the door. The best ABUS lock cylinder here is the listing whose split matches that measurement and whose stated function matches the job. A star line will still pick the wrong barrel if one side is 35 mm and the other is 65 mm. None of the eleven amazon.co.uk rows is the ABUS UK three-star cylinder. Peter F. updated this in October 2026 from those listings. We did not run a lab test. A qualifying purchase can earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

A measured swap

Match the split first. The D6XNP 30/30 is about £25.04 and shows 4.6 from 8,357 reviews, a parent count shared with the 30/35 rather than reviews of this split alone. The D6XNP 30/35 is about £25.88 on the same line. Use the 30/30 when both sides are 30 mm. Use the 30/35 when the sides differ, and mark which face is outside. Both state an emergency function. Neither states TS 007. The D6PS 45/45 at about £10.18 is only for that split, and only if you do not need a clutch.

If a key may be left inside

Stay with a listing that states the clutch. The D6XNP 30/30 and the 30/35 both state that the other side still works if a key is inserted. UK notes include an Aqara smart lock that still opened from outside with a key left inside. The KD6XNP Z30/K30 states the same idea at about £36.74. Skip it if the split is not 30/30, or if a letterbox could reach the knob. The XP20SN also states an emergency function at about £82.28, but the title says 10/30 and the model says 35/35. D6PS reviews say a key on one side blocks the other, and the ABUS sheet marks emergency feature no.

A knob, or a short door

The knob goes inside on all three thumbturns. The KD6XNP Z30/K30 states the emergency function and has no anti-snap line. Reviewers say the knob sits off centre. The KD6PSN Z35/K35 is about £33.01, an equal 35/35, with a programmed break and no clutch sentence. The KD6PS Z50/K30 is the top pick at about £30.19, on 4.6 from 1,039 reviews of this ASIN, when the key side is 50 mm and the knob side is 30 mm. Pre-snap is stated. An emergency-function sentence is not. Who should skip a turn is the ABUS thumbturn lock cylinder page. The TI11 at about £14.93 is for a thin door or a letterbox, not a deep uPVC leaf.

Who should skip this set

Skip every row if the street door needs a stated TS 007 three-star cylinder or Sold Secure SS312 Diamond. The ABUS UK page that states those marks is the X60, and it is not priced here. A GPS number does not take its place. The about £10.18 D6PS is not the best value: reviews deny a clutch, and it does not state a UK star. The about £82.28 XP20 is not the top pick because it costs the most and the length is unresolved. What pre-snap does not mean is the anti-snap euro cylinder page.

Which listing to keep

Use the D6XNP 30/30, the best value at about £25.04, when the door is an equal 30/30 and you need the emergency function the listing states. Use the KD6PS Z50/K30, the top pick at about £30.19, when the knob stays inside on a 50 mm key side and a 30 mm knob side. If the street door needs a stated three-star or Diamond cylinder, leave this set.

Common questions

Which listing matches a measured 30/30 or 30/35?
For an equal 30/30, the D6XNP 30/30 at about £25.04. For 30 mm and 35 mm, the D6XNP 30/35 at about £25.88. Both state an emergency function. Both show 4.6 from 8,357 as a shared parent count, so do not read that as reviews of your split alone. If the door needs a stated three-star mark, neither listing states one.
Which listing states a clutch a smart lock can use?
The D6XNP 30/30 and 30/35 state it, and UK notes include an Aqara lock that still opened with a key left inside. The KD6XNP Z30/K30 states that an outside key still works after you lock it from the knob. The XP20 states an emergency function too, once you measure the 10/30 versus 35/35 conflict. Skip the D6PS rows titled double entry for this job.
Which thumbturn states the emergency function?
Only the KD6XNP Z30/K30, at about £36.74. The Z35/K35 at about £33.01 and the Z50/K30 at about £30.19 do not print that sentence. On these titles the K side is the knob and it goes inside. The Z50/K30 is unequal, so measure before you assume the long side is outside.
Which listing is for a thin gate or a thin metal door?
The TI11 ST 21/21 at about £14.93 if the old cylinder is about 42 mm and you want different locking. The C50TI 25/25 at about £18.19 if you want 50 mm overall and the keyed-alike line on that item. A review of the 21/21 points it at a letterbox rather than a front door. Do not use either as a deep entrance-door cylinder.
Why is the D6PS at about £10.18 not the best value for a street door?
It is the lowest price, at 4.3 from 39 reviews, and the model is a 45/45. The title says seven pieces. A review describes one lock, a card and five keys. Reviews say it is not a clutch, and the bullets do not state pre-snap or TS 007. A street door that needs a stated three-star or Diamond cylinder is outside this set. Best value here is the stated clutch on a measured 30/30, not the lowest shelf price.
Should I buy the XP20 as the top pick?
Not on price or on the GPS 9 line. It states a clutch, a security card and three keys, and it shows 4.3 from 866 reviews, at about £82.28. The title says 10/30 and the model says 35/35. SKG** on the bullets is not Sold Secure Diamond and not a TS 007 Kitemark. Measure the cylinder in the box before you fit it.
