Lock Snapping, Prevent it -Secure your property today

The type of lock that lock snapping affects is the Euro cylinder found in Upvc and composite doors that operate the multi-point locking mechanism (strip), where the lock is vulnerable because the way it is designed it can easily be snapped into two, especially if the lock protrudes past the handles more than 2 mm. To eliminate the risk of lock snapping you simply need to upgrade your cylinder lock to the new type of Euro cylinder that is snap secure, meaning even should the cylinder be attacked, the cylinder remains secure eliminating access to the multi-point locking system, ensuring your property stays locked . 

More recently burglars across the UK have resorted to using a blow torch on Upvc doors in order to heat up the lock in turn weakening the lock to make it easier to snap, This has made headlines in a national tabloid.
