I've noted chrisjc33 explanation, is this a common practice :?: I would think a hacksaw blade between the handle and the door is another option...No :?:

I've not came across the clever crim' yet :shock: I know but, but with all this 'press coverage' it can only educate the common NED :evil: who will progress from the clay spanner.

I'm sure 'I'm telling ma da how to make waines' but would a spinning washer on the fixing bolts help :?:

Ps, nice to see you on site, ive just bought some padlocks off you on ebay 8)[/quote]

Hope that you are happy with the locks? Thanks for the advice. Perhaps have to upgrade the cylinders to the "breaksure" type or fit one of the Squire things on top the doors.

Sorry also about posting in the incorrect area. Told ya I was new and lame on the first post. LOL But again thanks for your advice.

Regards

Thanks for all the advice. I have turned the cylinders around which means there is a great extension on the inside but nothing for this "tool" to grip to break the lock. Just purchased my very first set of picks as below

fourteen piece lock pick set
The PXS-14 lock pick set contains everything you need compromise most pin tumbler locks. Opens deadbolts, doorknob locks, most car locks and padlocks. Includes nine picks, a broken key extractor, four tension tools, six slip on vinyl sleeves and a leather case.

Also have a set of various master keys for office furniture and jiggler keys. This sort of stuff comming in useful now that I am a court bailiff

Will be sticking around and asking the odd question now and again Thanks again for the great help.

It seems to me that they are not very common in the U.K., but with these escutcheon plates

there is not much area for attack left - having to grind away a lot of solid steel before reaching the lock will surely deter a burglar...
