Ingersol, Banham, Chubb London line, Abloy, BiLock.

Off the top of my head. In no particular order.
It's all about the tension . . .

Chubb as in the safe company? Never knew they made mortises. Interesting.

I'm not sure why'd want such secure locks on your garage, but here's my opinion in order of most secure (against picking alone):

1) Abloy Protec
2) Bilock
3) Corbin Emhart (this is a current project of mine, has anyone heard of these being picked?)
4) [everything else]

Wouldn't you have a rim cylinder on a garage anyways?

Because I forgot.

And it is probably the most commonly available of all the ones mentioned above (in the UK).

Ebay is your best bet if you want to install yourself, otherwise you will need see a locksmith and ask for one of the above locks.

Heh, no kidding. Last Protec I saw on there ran $187 USD.

I actually installed some door jambs on this millionaires house yesterday and every door was outfitted with Mul-T-Locks, which aren't cheap by any stretch of the imagination.

And when I say every door, I mean EVERY DOOR. Bathroom doors, garage doors, etc. This guy had security in mind. It was really a sight to see.

Every door :shock: That's ridiculous - I mean, does the guy lock his bathroom door every night? I can just see him fumbling around in the dark at 2am, trying to find the key so he can take a leak... :wink:

Also, better not lose the master key!
