Euro cylinder size

[metalsteve]

I want to repalce my euro cylinder locks for some anti bump/ anti snap cylinders. At them moment my house seems to have a mismatch of cylinders/ sizes. Some are fitted so that the end of the cylinder sits almost flush with the handle plate and on some the cylinder sticks out 10-15mm from the handle plate.

Ideally should the replacement cylinder sit almost flush with the handle plate or is it purely a cosmetic thing?

If they protrude then its easier for the scrotes to get a pair of pliers on them. Have them flush.

Cool, thanks.

You can fit escutcheons if you aren't able to get exactly the right size. Some manufacturers sell cylinders that have snap-off sections that will break if you try to snap them, leaving enough to still open with the key but stopping complete breakage.
