billy123 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 What if there is no badge at all or it simply has a "C" logo?

sixwheeledbeast Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I would be replacing the locks for 3 Star rated Euro at least, anyway.

billy123 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 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.

WDT Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 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) Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/40136-french-doors-security-recommendations/page/2/#findComment-446446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy123 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 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 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 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 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 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 Door2 x Double Patio Doors3 x Downstairs Rooms Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/40136-french-doors-security-recommendations/page/2/#findComment-446454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 There all the same I believe, the number is how many devices you can have?
