Quick question replacing eurocylinders

On my conservatory door, there doesnt seem to be a retaining screw for the lock. and looks like i will need to remove the whole side plate to get access to the lock.

The internal and external parts are also flush with the handles, so would this prevent them being snapped? or should i replace anyway
 
Depends how thick the handles are - most you can pop off in a second, then either use a lock snapper (readily available online) or just a cordless drill and a self-drilling screw and a claw hammer. I have a Klom lock pick gun, and it will get through pretty much anything you put on your door, unless you are willing to spend megabucks.
My mum just had all fancy anti-snap locks fitted to all her doors, and I buzzed my way in while she was in the room right next to the front door. She didn't even hear a thing - once you set up a good pick gun right, it's about as loud as an ultrasonic toothbrush.

Out of interest...why would you need to possess a "good pick gun"??
 
At work I need to get into a lot of boilerhouses, plant rooms, etc - we rarely get the keys for them. So either I reverse the Jeep (big tow bar) through them, or use the pick gun!
