Anti-snap locks in Barnsley

Let’s put an end to making life easier for burglars!

Lock snapping has become the primary method burglars use to gain entry into homes in Barnsley. However, the good news is that we can work together to defeat burglars by installing anti-snap locks in Barnsley, ensuring your family and home’s long-term safety and security.

Lock snapping in Barnsley continues to increase.

Lock snapping has become a significant issue in the Barnsley region. Practically all burglaries involve unlawful entry through this method of forced entry. I attended my first lock-snapping event in 2006, starting in West Yorks. It has gathered pace since then.

What exactly is lock snapping?

The locks frequently installed on uPVC, composite,  sliding patio,  aluminium and some wooden doors are known as euro cylinders. These locks are predominantly crafted from brass, a non-corrosive material, minimising the need for extensive maintenance. However, I would like to point out that these locks feature a vulnerable section within their structure that can be exploited with force and specific knowledge, enabling the lock to be snapped and the mechanism to be accessed. Regrettably, the widespread availability of this previously secret knowledge has been facilitated by social media platforms, such as YouTube, where videos demonstrating lock-snapping techniques are frequently found.

How do you identify which type of door locks you have?

Police have been known to advise that locks over six years old are vulnerable, but this needs to be corrected.

Even in newly constructed properties, installing anti-snap locks is only sometimes guaranteed. There are no legal obligations or insurance mandates regarding the use of anti-snap locks, placing the responsibility on individuals to ensure the security of their locks. While a trustworthy locksmith can offer guidance, it may be necessary to physically remove and examine the lock to determine whether it is susceptible to snapping. Taking proactive steps to assess and reinforce the security of your locks is crucial for optimal protection.

Is there another Solution

If the euro cylinder is flush-fitted to the handle on the outside, burglars tend to break the bottom first. But you can prevent this by installing high-security handles. “Users know the handles as ‘pas 24’.” These handles create a barrier around the lock, making it impossible for thieves to access the vulnerable cylinder.

These handles may also deter burglars. They will see the door as more secure. Pas 24 handles cannot fit all doors. But, they do improve the look and work with many of them. Combining anti-snap locks with Pas 24 handle sets provides the best protection. It stops any unlawful entry.
