Makes me feel quite manly this thread!

I have 2 UPVC doors, with euro profile locks. I want some locks that cant be bumped or snapped. Any recommendations? Just the locks, I can fit them myself.

Is there anything recommended for windows? They are also UPVC, with a locking handle, but it seems a but weedy and I dont think it would last long against a spade and a bit of leverage.

Cheers

Depends how much you want to spend? I got a pair of keyed alike anti-snap, anti-drill and allegedly anti-bump (filled with a sticky anti-bump-goop) ICL locks from handlestore.com, pretty reasonable £20 each ISTR.

Something like a Mul-T lock should be more resistant to bumping, but at a much higher cost.

£20 sounds about right, are they good quality?

They seem a little overkill for my needs, the biggest threat is of the cylinder being snapped, and the opes with the sacrificial end bit seem up to the job

yes they seem fine, certainly don't seem cheaply made.
