Sorry madhatter but must disagree with you there. Wooden windows are stronger against screwdriver attack than plastic. But as you say GOOD window locks should be used on accessable windows.
Also a GOOD wooden door is stronger than a plastic door IMHO
If you want 2 locks on a wooden door? 2 mortice locks are best. And if you know a good locksmith
he can key both locks to the same key.
Yale type locks are OK if they suit your needs but do not offer anything like the security of a mortice lock.
A good quality lock may appear a bit more expensive at the time of purchase, but it will pay for itself many times over when the burglars come to visit...
Most people only review there security after a break-in unfortunately
But as Madhatter says we should look at all aspects regularly....
