Each shape is designed to fit into a different type or make of lock. UK Oval fits traditional British locks (such as our Compact range), ASSA Oval fits Scandinavian pattern locks (such as our Modular range), Euro Profile fits German-style DIN locks (and also our Compact range), and Round Threaded is designed for US style locks.
