All my outer doors are double glazed PVC units with a modern locking
systems. Close the door; lift the handle to engage the several locking
points; turn the key one revolution; remove the key. No extra turn or
dead-locking. Older doors, with a single mortise lock or whatever,
might be different I suppose.


Bit of metal heated with a blowlamp, applied to the correct

Crittall windows don't have this problem :-)

Or they just throw a suitable paving slab through the glass.
