Lock Snapping – The Problem
In as little as 13 Seconds an intruder can get passed a door lock with a Standard Euro Profile Cylinder by using nothing more than simple DIY tools, by using a method known as lock snapping to bypass Euro Cylinder Locks.
Lock Snapping – The Solution
Burglar Proof your doors with a TS007 3* Sold Secure Diamond Cylinder, These cylinders are:
. Snap Secure
. Anti Pick
. Anti Drill
. Anti Bump
. High Security Key
Such as the ABS range by Avocet (Pictured Below), Ultion range by Brisant, Ironguard range by Federal and the AP range by Apecs.
Sadly the number of Break Ins around Oxfordshire has increased, and will probably increase further leading up to Christmas. Do you have a UPVC or Composite Door? Do you know if your door is secure? Do you know what to look for?
Does your Door lock have a Deadbolt and additional Hooks/Deadbolts? Such as the lock in the picture?
Next we need to look at the Lock Cylinder fitted, Is it snap secure? Is it British Standard? We are looking for a British Standard Kite mark on the face of the Cylinder.
The Cylinder in the picture carries the Kitemark with 3* and is Sold Secure Diamond Grade, Which is the highest level of Security for a Cylinder available today.
The handles should not have visible fixings from the outside.
The handle in the picture has concealed fixings on the outside, the fixings are bolted through the door.
If you are not sure what you have fitted or would like some help identifying your locks or free advice, Please get in touch.
Composite and UPVC door locks can be affected by a sudden drop in outside temperature. The door frame will start to contract, which can result in a poor fit between the lock and the door frame itself. You can start to have problems lifting the handle to lock the door and might be tempted to force the handle and damage the locks.
If this starts to happen, it’s a good idea to call your local locksmith to service the lock and adjust the striker plates and hinges. Don’t leave it to fail as you might find yourself locked in or out of your house.
