5 Point Door Lock Upgrade

funkey_monkey · 2013-12-06 00:20:40

We have an uPVC door with the initial locks etc which it came with from the factory. However, we want to upgrade the door to something which is more secure as I've seen that the type of door handle and barrel etc can be easily breached. I appreciate that no system is foolproof but can someone please point me to what I can…

I appreciate that no system is foolproof but can someone please point me to what I can do to improve the robustness of the door - i.e. upgrade the barrel to an anti-snap/break-secure version.

Any advice appreciated as someone tried to force the door one night and it appeared to be very close to failing.

Thanks.
