Anti Snap Locks Wakefield

Over the past few years burglars have found ways to exploit weaknesses in standard euro cylinders which are fitted on all upvc and composite doors and also on some wooden and aluminium doors. There has been a significant increase of these type of break-ins in Wakefield. The standard cylinders break under attack in such a way that the locking mechanism inside the door can be easily manipulated in under 20 seconds. This applies to all upvc doors no matter how old or new as it is not yet mandatory for new doors to to come with anti snap lock cylinders. It is a common misconception that because a upvc or composite door mechanism has many hooks and bolts which lock into the door frame once the handle is lifted, that these doors are high security. This is not true! All the locking points on every upvc and composite door are controlled by the lock cylinder and if this is not up to the job the hooks and bolts might as well not be there.

What are anti snap locks?

An anti snap lock cylinder is a lock barrel that is designed to retro fit to your existing door with no fuss or massive cost to the customer. Anti snap locks have been designed with special weak points built in so that when the cylinder is attacked it will break off in a totally different place to the standard cylinder and stop intruders entering your home or business keeping your property safe.
