Anti Snap Locks Leeds  

Anti Snap Lock Specialists In Leeds

What's the problem?

Lock Snapping In Leeds and West Yorkshire is on the increase! Thieves are easily exploiting a massive weak spot on euro profile cylinders which are fitted to 99% of all UPVC doors with just a couple of cheap hand tools. A big selling point of UPVC doors is always the multipoint locking mechanisms and how secure they are. What they don't tell you is that the euro cylinders supplied with the doors are so weak the multipoint lock can be manipulated open in under 30 seconds. Locksmiths and the police have known about this weakness for a while but now unfortunately that information is in the wrong hands and burglary's through lock snapping are getting increasingly more common around Leeds and West Yorkshire. 

The lock snapping technique involves breaking the cylinder at the weakest point to expose a vital part of the locking mechanism. Once this part is exposed the mechanism can be quickly and easily unlocked, meaning no key is required to open the door.

In addition to anti snap locks we can also supply and fit high security door handles. These handles offer another layer of protection against lock snapping. They can be fitted in conjunction with any type of euro lock. This means you don't have to have an anti snap lock to be able to have a high security door handle.

These handles have a rounded design so not only do they look super modern and stylish, but they also prevent access to the lock by intruders. The handles are 2 star security rated and comprise of a cylinder guard to prevent drilling, rounded edges to prevent gripping and thicker reinforced bolts. 

Our high security handles also have a revolutionary locking button fitted to the internal handle. Once this button is depressed it prevents the door from being opened even if its unlocked from the outside.
