Anti Snap Locks Leeds  

We supply and fit a wide range of anti snap locks in Leeds. Lock Snapping burglaries have been an issue in Leeds for over a decade. Thieves are easily exploiting a massive weak spot found on euro profile cylinders. This is done with just a couple of cheap hand tools. Euro cylinders are fitted to 99% of upvc and composite doors in Leeds.

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 often 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 common place in Leeds. 

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. Read more in our guide on what is lock snapping?

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.
