Lock snapping remains one of the most common burglary methods across South Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire. If your doors still use older euro cylinder locks, your home could be vulnerable. Benefit from high-security anti-snap lock package upgrades fitted by a trusted, professional, local locksmith.
As a qualified locksmith, Stephen recommends upgrading to a high-security Ultion anti-snap lock package, which is one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve your home security.
Why lock snapping is still a risk for homeowners
Lock snapping is a common method burglars use to gain entry. I saw my first lock-snapping burglary back in 2007, and sadly, it’s still a major issue today.
If your door has a standard or older euro cylinder, your home may be at risk without you realising it. Upgrading to an anti-snap lock is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to strengthen your home’s security.
Do you have vulnerable door locks?
Not sure what locks are fitted to your doors? You’re not alone. Euro cylinder locks are common on both uPVC and Composite doors, including:
French doors
Patio doors
Bi-fold doors
Garage doors
Many older lock versions are vulnerable to snapping. An experienced locksmith can quickly tell if your locks are secure. I’ll let you know as soon as possible if your doors have inferior or outdated locks… no guesswork, or pressure to upgrade, just honest advice.
Why standard door locks fail
Most standard euro cylinder locks are made from brass. While brass doesn’t rust, it is soft. Because of this, and how some door locks are designed, a built-in weak point is created.
For years, only locksmiths knew about this flaw. That’s no longer the case. Unfortunately, step-by-step lock-snapping videos are now easy to find online, allowing burglars to learn how to break standard euro cylinder door locks.
If your doors still have older locks fitted, your home may be more vulnerable than you realise.
