A cylinder that sticks out is often snapped off or pulled out with tools. Security cylinders have a protected breaking point or a reinforced design to prevent this. A security door plate covers the cylinder, so there is hardly anything left to attack.

You need the police report for your insurance. Depending on your policy, home contents insurance covers stolen items and damage; in rented flats, the door itself is often a matter for the landlord’s buildings insurance. So tell the landlord as well. Keep photos, the police report and invoices together.

Take photos for the insurance before anything is changed. Keep the invoice. A security door plate that covers the cylinder makes snapping it off harder.

Many people feel uneasy after a burglary. A door that locks properly again helps. Talking to family or to a victim support service helps too.
