Look for the Avocet logo stamped on the faceplates, although older models may display the \"WMS\" logo. The unique gearbox shape, with a cut-out extending below the latch, further aids in identification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConfigurations and Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally, Avocet locks came in various configurations, including hooks, rollers, and deadbolts. The earlier models were made from yellow passivated steel, giving them a distinctive brassy appearance. Recent updates have introduced faceplates in stainless steel or a Trivalent silver finish, with most variations replaced during this transition. Notable exceptions include the 2 roller and 2 mushroom locks, as well as a shorter version of the 3 deadbolt lock for caravans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSash Lifter Device\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome models feature a \"sash lifter\" device for improved alignment, though these are no longer available.

The distinctive large cut-out in the top corner aids in handle fitment. The latch measures 29mm high, and the deadbolt is 34mm high, with an 82mm distance between them.
