Cylinder keys that can't be copied ?

You asked "Where would you ever leave your keys, together with your address, to give someone the opportunity to copy them then burgle you?"

I said in effect that there are many opportunities to nick identification and address details, believe or otherwise. They wouldn't need to copy as they have all your details, how would they get them?. They simply would that that you oe me as normal genuine individuals would not get until it was too late.

Car keys/house keys point is car key are more difficult as chipped, any house key is a little easier.

But we have both said, they will break in elsewhere if determined.

The big angry dog is still the best option.

I recently changed mine to a stronger cylinder that is meant to be snap/bump proof. The cylinder itself feels much stronger and the key is also not so easy to replicate.

FWIW, a 1* cylinder only offers maximum protection when its housed inside a 2* handle.

The cylinders recommended earlier in this thread (Avocet ABS, Brisant Ultion) are 3* diamond rated.

See https://www.ultion-lock.co.uk to see how they fare against a 1* cylinder.

Still, I guess 45 seconds for a 1* lock is better than less than 10 seconds for a basic cylinder!

Exactly, there's not much point in worrying about whether your keys can be copied!

The Yales can be punched through "old method".
By the Avocet, you practically have to destroy the whole door to get in.
