It seems to me the point of failure for cyliner door locks would be the
aluminum body structure. The cylinder is mounted on the outer aluminum skin
(at least they are on Piper Warriors). It seems a moderately-powered
screwdriver punch is all it would take to knock in the cylinder.

Hence, I second the "keeping honest people out" proclaimation.

I'll second the comments of TC regarding Medeco locks. We have them on
the
cabin and baggage doors of our Arrow, and they work (and wear) very well.
The one quibble I have is that the Medeco keys have such huge heads that
they provide enough leverage to easily break the key if the lock is stiff
or
frozen. Getting replacement keys is a real bitch.

Arguably, the Medecos are "overkill" (as TC says, they are really to keep
honest people out) but everything else available is junk.
