Non bumpable lock cylinders

[Humpy D]

I am getting increasingly concerned with the number of burglaries which seem to be occurring in my area where the burglers are gaining entry by lock-bumping. I am therefore looking to replace all my lock cylinders with non-bumpable ones and want to know if any PHers have done the same and which cylinders they went for.

I have done some searching on the internet and have come across the Evva 3ks Plus cylinders which seem ideal albeit a little pricey (£40 per cylinder). But peace of mind doesn't always come cheap.

Thanks.

ironmongerydirect.com have a load in different brands. Cheapest are the Mila ones which say they are bump resistant, and are £17-£24 ish, dependant on length. Website is a pain, but a couple of codes from the catalogue are 892093 and 891929. As a short term fix you can always leave the key in the otherside of the door as this should deter the bump-tool, but obviously that leaves the key easy to hand if the glass is smashed.
