Antisnap locks in Barnsley

Lock snapping is on the increase across Barnsley

Lock snapping is on the increase in the Barnsley area now! It started in West Yorkshire. It crossed into South Yorkshire around 2002. I attended my first lock-snapping event in 2006 and still remember how it was a shock.  If you want more information on antisnap locks in Barnsley, read on.

What is it?

The locks on Upvc doors and some composite, aluminium, patio, and wooden doors are called euro cylinders.  They make them of soft but noncorrosive brass metal and are cheap. You can make them in many sizes to fit all types of doors. Yet, a weak point is within the cylinder. The exposure of this method has increased via exposure  on the Internet and “YouTube.”

With some knowledge and force, the cylinder can be “snapped” in half and extracted from the door.  This usually involves breaking the handles first. With some know-how, you can open the locks and depress the door handle.

What can we do?

The great news is that high-security antisnap locks can replace your original locks. Your door’s appearance will not change, and neither will the handles. The other great news is that SF Locksmiths will fit your new locks. The locks have added protection against picks, drills, and bumps. The technical parts may be complex for some. But be sure these locks will protect your home for a long time.

Can anything else be done

I mentioned above that thieves usually break the handle to get to the lock. You can also upgrade your handles to a “pas 24 handle”. Thieves cannot break these handles, which serve as a visual deterrent. We are trying to say that they will take one look at these handles and think about going elsewhere! They don’t suit all doors, but most are within the Barnsley area. If you add an anti-snap lock to a pas 24 handle, you will have the ultimate protection for your property.
