hey peeps, can you fit these things or similar: http://www.screwfix.com/prods/62115/Security/Push-Button-Locks/Mechanical-Push-Button/Codelock-Push-Button-Lock to UPVC external doors. I dont think I have seen them fitted to anything other than wooden doors. cheers in advance

then in theory would this just be the same as chopping a 20mm hole and clipping in what i already have??
