I just had a trawl through my old MLA mags, and found an article on them with the exact same pic. This came up in a thread a month or so ago (i think).
I thought this was what that guy was talking about in the papers and was gonna post some stuff but forgot all about it. In the article it says that the 'Euro Enhancer' has been developrd by John Squire. So i dont know what the other MLA guy was on about :?

And this thing is tp prevent snaping :!:

Ive heard the MLA arent happy about him releasing that info by the way, they say its not their policy to do such things and certainly wasnt aware of it going to print, they say they will look into it but havent as yet seen the articles but will look into it.

In other words they dont really care.

I still dont get why this French/German guy is contacting me for them???

He says he wants to purchase a large quantity. Im still a bit suspicious of the whole thing.

The enhancer thing sounds quite good though. It fits behind the handle on UPVC doors and is secured to the cylinder with four grub screws, so it will do what it claims.

But how many burglers snap cylinders? I would of thought it would be better to fit the right size cylinder in the first place :!:

For all you know hes sent the email to the wrong person by mistake or sent the same email to 50 differant lockies, maybe everyone in your phone book has had the same.

Hi

he might turn round and say if you cant get any do you want to buy some because hes just had a big order off some one else. that way hes turned it around and trying to sell you some knowing that you cant get some. and if hes sent a email to lots of locksmiths and they've replied they couldn't get them that could be a lot of business. then again it might all be legitimate. like you said you will just have to wait and see. :)
