AFAIK, it is technically impossible to insure any house with a UPVC

seen lately, and AFAIK it's not possible to obtain such a lock for
such a door (the typical espagnolete lock and a Euro-cylinder)

Comments, anyone ?

The insurance companies run a separate "approved lock" scheme for
multipoint locks which meet their security standard but can't meet
BS3621 for some reason related to the way the standard is written. I
had the correct name for it somewhere and I think its somewhere on
the Essex Fittings web site.
