In a significant move aimed at ensuring home and building safety, ISEO has issued an urgent recall for its European Cylinder Locks, specifically targeting certain models sold within the United Kingdom. The recall applies to the ISEO F6 Extra and R700 series of European Cylinder Locks sold between January 2023 and January 2024. These locks, particularly the thumbturn versions, pose a severe fire hazard due to a malfunction that could prevent quick escapes during emergencies.

The identified issue lies within a faulty rotator screw component inside the lock. While the external mechanism may appear functional, the faulty component can cause the lock to fail from the inside. This could have catastrophic consequences in the event of a fire, trapping occupants inside.

ISEO has launched a full recall, urging anyone who has installed these locks to check their products immediately and take immediate action to ensure safety. The company is already in the process of contacting affected customers directly to provide further instructions and details on replacement options.

Building owners, facility managers, and homeowners are strongly advised to cease using affected locks and contact ISEO for further guidance. The urgency of the recall highlights the importance of maintaining fire safety standards in residential and commercial buildings.
