Hi, I recently got news about how easy it is to bump open cylinder locks, especially the euro ones fitted onto uPVC.
Anyway, having removed one of my locks, to see how long it was ( was going to order a better replacement one ) , I quickly realised the whole system is stupidly easy to break into, regardless of the bump threat.
the locks are exposed on both sides, I would imagine a hammer and a metal rod would easily knock through / break the lock
my query is, is it possible to buy ;
--- door handles with the key hole blanked off ?
as I want to fit half euro locks, so there is no lock exposed externally..... I would then want to fit a handle with the keyhole blanked off ( to keep rain out etc )
there is more security joining a forum , then there is with regards to the doors on our houses,
how pathetic is that ?!
