Thumbturn cylinders

Aha, so you just zap the lock?

Hi shrub,
I know that bypass methods are advanced and i don't want to know how, but is the standard euro lock(not the thumbturn type) bypassable?
I have taken one apart and can't see that its possible!

I dont know of a way thats not destructive no,

If there is a key in the other side some are possable with careful tool making but not many,

Picking or breaking im afraid for those

Hi Shrub,
thanks for the reply, Iam pleased to here that as my locks are all euro locks and i think most of the UK have these.

I did buy a thumbturn lock to look at and found it easy to bypass, was a cheap lock but i bet most of the public don't know how weak they are.

Do Eurolocks have a BS rating as none at my local diy store mention it?
If so what is the BS number for insurance rating.
Thanks
Kev
