    I realise you had already made a decision but a vote from me for Ultion (I don't know if it is 3* plus though). One thing to bear in mind is that if you want to make copies, it costs more and a bit more complex but I think that's a good thing at least!
    There are third parties that will cut the keys to code for a lot less than Ultion (or Yale etc) 
    Not much less though - I checked Timpsons and apparently if you go with a third party, it might void your warranty.
    We used a company on Amazon and they were ok; they had thousands of positive reviews so felt ok using them and Yale wanted £45 for 3 keys whereas they charged £15, one of the keys didnt work but they replaced it next day and worked fine since.

    They've gone bust unfortunately but there are others offering Ultion keys for circa £9.99 each or slightly less if buying multiple

    Whenever I've bought keys online, I've had them delivered elsewhere, and used somebody elses payment card(!) with a different billing address too. Don't want a record of the key number and address out there in the wild if I can avoid it. :)

    Not having them delivered to your own address was one of their recommendations.
