I want to upgrade the standard Euro cylinder barrels on uPVC external doors to anti-snap / anti-bump types.

This seems to be a simple DIY job so I just want to buy the locks. Can anyone recommend a brand and where to get them from? I've heard that ABUS pfaffenhain are the best quality.

With these locks, is it necessary to have them flushing fitting on the outside to prevent a "snap" attempt?

Finally, is it possible to have the locks keyed alike?

Also, for inward opening french doors, would sash jammers be necessary in addition to changing the locks?

Thanks in advance.
