The Diamant is "more secure" than the Bilock, but it costs about twice as much. Overall, the Bilock is fine for most applications, the Diamant is probably overkill. There's locks that are at least equal to the Diamant, but they are all very expensive. Some in particular:

Kaba Mas X-09
Fichet F3D
Abloy Protec
EVVA MCS

I dealt with a case where a commercial building was burglarized via the roof. The roof had been cut open and in the guys went. Trucks, inventory, office equipment, all gone. The steel doors were fitted with Yales, untouched.

No alarm though. Let that be a lesson. By the way, NO lock is pickproof or bypass proof, highly resistant at best.

If you're thinking about putting an Abloy or DOM lock on a door, then you have to think about everything else as well. I'm talking about making your house a solid steel box with a 3" thick door. That might justify it.

Past that, put a BiLock on your front door and start looking for other areas to strengthen.

FWIW, I think it'd be hard to pick one of these.
