Questions people ask
Where does the burglary data come from?
From data.police.uk, the official open data service for every police force in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each crime is placed at an approximate street-level point to protect privacy, and figures are published about two months after the month they cover.
How do most burglars get through a uPVC door?
Lock snapping. The euro cylinder sticks out of the handle just enough to grip; snapped in the middle, a standard cylinder gives up and the door opens. A 3-star anti-snap cylinder is built to break in a controlled way that leaves the lock secure.
How much does protecting a door cost?
A 3-star cylinder is from about £36 delivered and roughly £110–£150 fitted by a locksmith. It's held in by one screw, so many people fit it themselves in ten minutes. Our photo lock finder measures your existing cylinder so you order the right size.
