What are anti snap cylinder locks

Many properties currently rely on a normal euro/door cylinder lock with a vertical key slot  These older type of cylinder locks have now become susceptible to a new form of attack.  The cylinder is literally snapped into two by applying force to the cylinder, due to their design they are inherently weak at the centre. No specialist equipment or expert knowledge is needed.

Anti snap cylinder locks have been developed to provide a defence against burglars who practice in this way. The new cylinders are anti drill, pick, snap, bump etc which makes it a lot harder for someone to break into your home this way.

With the annual crime figures showing that burglaries are up by 14% on last years figures, property owners need to be on their guard to prevent intruders gaining access this way.

Your current door cylinders need to be reviewed and upgraded to the newly available anti snap cylinder locks to avoid becoming one of the many victims of burglary where the intruders gain forced entry using this method.

There are many different makes on the market to fit all budgets, we only use a British Standard Kite marked Cylinder lock.

So if you have an upvc door with the original cylinder lock fitted contact us today to arrange a time which is convenient to change the existing cylinder for an anti snap cylinder which will provide you with far better security and peace of mind.

Simple low cost security measures will deter many would be burglars - talk to us for further information.
