Not a locksmith per se, but changed a few hundred of these as a door engineer. Definitely a Euro cylinder, the star rating I would not like to comment on.

Don't think so ... my understanding is that they are marked as such
It's just the star rating I can't identift. I know most now have star rating on outside face for all too see and identified its rating but this doesnt. Also told some Euro locks don't get marked
I'm told it is 3
but just not convinced

I'm probably wrong, but the guy who changed our locks said that Euro 3 type locks had keys like these ...It's just the star rating I can't identift. I know most now have star rating on outside face for all too see and identified its rating but this doesnt. Also told some Euro locks don't get marked

But is "Euro 3" the same as "Euro 3 star"? Been out of the game for too long now...

Dunno TBH, but the key above is ours and the locksmith said they were Euro 3 ???
It may well be a 3 star Euro Cylinder.
It is not a Platinum 3 star Euro Cylinder, which have dimpled key and horizontal slot.
Nevertheless, it does have anti snap and anti drill features.
Changing a euro cylinder, if door is open, involves removal of one screw and a twist of key or thumb turn, which allows cylinder to be withdrawn. Time required less than one minute.

These are the new offerings from Yale, it certainly looks to be an older design, if in doubt I would certainly change it
