French Doors Security Recommendations

So the shock system would be part of the alarm?  Okay got it.

 

How can I be find out what type of cylinder locks I already have as there is no name or logo???

[james.wilson]

as usual if its badged yale replace it

[billy123]

What if there is no badge at all or it simply has a "C" logo?

I would be replacing the locks for 3 Star rated Euro at least, anyway.

[billy123]

ALL DONE!....I took out the old cylinder locks which were unbranded and definitely looked like the old euro cylinder locks. now replaced all 4 of the locks with the AVOCET ABS locks....each cost £40! ....phew!

 

Thank you!

 

Now I need help with the burglar alarm system and would be most grateful if you could advise on my other thread.  I'm trying to choose between the VISONIC POWERMAX or one of the POWERMASTER 10/30/33.

I always change the locks on a new property, People hide keys in gardens and stuff, who had keys before, Have keys been lost so who has them,

I agree if people want in they will, All you can do is make it as hard as possible so they go to your neighbours house instead ( Share the love)

Thanks WDT.  I'm hoping at the very least these locks will put some delay in letting a burglar in, but now I'm struggling with choosing an alarm which is vital for peace of mind and security.

[sixwheeledbeast]

I rate Avocet they would be the Euro barrel of choice.

Between Powermax and Powermaster it has to be the latter, it's two way other isn't, simple as.

[billy123]

Thanks sixwheeledbeast. Powemaster it is then.  However, for my needs (SEE BELOW), which one of the powermaster models would you recommend?

 

The features I'm looking for:-

Must be Wireless

Have an External Siren that is either mains connected or solar-powered with battery backup

Difficult to Hack/Jam

Able to Dial-out/Send SMS to mobiles/landlines

•  
• ADDITIONAL BONUS would be -

The ability to control it on smartphone/pc

For your information, I need to cover:-

1 x Front Door
2 x Double Patio Doors
3 x Downstairs Rooms

[sixwheeledbeast]

There all the same I believe, the number is how many devices you can have?
