PVC .. no way..
 
steel internals and wooden look outside.. oh and paint it using car paint and laquer   (white is the only color which can resist sun for long time) ..
 
where is my hvlp.. I need to paint our red door (err.. I mean brown.. red was before )

UPVC here, front back and side! Just as long as you have at least a 5point locking system and a good euro cylinder it's style that sets them apart (and and bit of build quality).

Avocet abs is the best on the market at the moment.. The standard euro cylinders can be broken in 30 secs and after that it doesn't matter how good your locking system is.

10/10 - £34 aint too bad when you think that with the best UPVC door in the world the lock is always the weakpoint.

metallic car paints are the strongest.. except epoxy.. no other paint can resist our sun

I've a similar lock on my front door ...... Garrison ........ that's purposely weakened to snap off. If only I could find the code card to have another key cut.

we've gone way off topic here - sorry for my part in this

We had a spate of burglaries round here where, if the door is not locked from the inside, they just reach in through the letter box and turn door handle internally.

I guess the answer would be to have the letter box low down, not next to the door handle in the middle, fit a knob not a handle inside, and or, lock the door from the inside. ESP at night.

They where after car keys. Which our neighbours kept in a draw in the porch. Right next to the fornt door. £1500 ins claim for new car lock set.

Cheers all, some handy advice there.

Pete, not to sure on you smashing my back door in

Liking those ABS locks

Sadly, the common method for getting in is to 'bump' the locks now (I have tried this and although it takes me a few goes, even I can do it!), takes about 1-2 seconds and causes no obvious damage.

The locks we have incorporate the fracture line but they also have two of the tumblers effectively 'damped' to stop bumping.

Worth looking out for.
