Euro cylinder door locks are the most common lock type in Britain today. They are versatile and most brands will fit any kind of uPVC door, as well as composite, aluminium and patio doors. They can be fitted to your front and back doors and offer resistance to drilling, picking, bumping etc.

Security brands such as Yale and Avocet supply three star euro cylinders that really are the gold standard of door locks.
