Protect your home with Anti Snap Locks

A snapped Euro Cylinder

What is Lock Snapping?

As the title would suggest this is where the cylinder is literally snapped into two by applying torque i.e. force to the cylinder. There are a number of ways and also tools to enable this to be done however it would we be irresponsible for us as locksmiths to tell you exactly how this is done. Suffice to say that double euro cylinders in particular due to their design are inherently weak at the centre enabling thieves in Leeds & Bradford to take advantage of this fact by coming up with numerous methods to snap the cylinders in a matter of seconds then operate the lock to open the door.

Millions of homes across Britain are at risk because of a design weakness in the old type UPVC Locks; this new design has overcome that security weakness.

The ‘weak spot’ in modern doors has been isolated as the lock cylinder. The lock in question is not of any particular make, but is the type of lock fitted to the majority of UPVC, PVCu and some wooden doors throughout the world, it is commonly known as a Euro Profile Cylinder. It is the part, which provides the key operation to the multi-point locking mechanism fitted to the door. No matter how secure or elaborate the multi-point locking mechanism is, if the cylinder is compromised the multi-point lock can be opened in seconds without difficulty.

The solution

The anti-snap feature allows the cylinder to break at a sacrificial point close to the end of the door to protect the rest of the cylinder. If you return home to find this method used on your door then your key will still operate and allow you entry into your home.
