🔒 Keep Your Property Secure – Stop Lock Snapping 🔒

Did you know it can take just 5–10 seconds for a thief to snap a lock and gain entry to your home?
Lock snapping is one of the most common burglary methods targeting standard euro cylinder locks on UPVC doors.

✅ The good news: Anti-snap euro cylinder locks are affordable and an easy way to protect your home. They’re designed to resist forced entry and can make a huge difference.

How to fit one:

Measure your existing cylinder (length and size).

Remove the fixing screw from the side of the door.

Insert the key, turn slightly, and slide out the old cylinder.

Fit the new anti-snap cylinder, ensuring it sits flush with the handle.

Replace the fixing screw and test the lock.

From the images below, you can see what an anti-snap lock device looks like and how fitting one can potentially stop a burglary.
