Anti Snap Locks St Albans | Ultion ALPS TS007 Cylinder Upgrades
Lock snapping is one of the most common methods used by burglars to force entry through a door. Active Lock Centre supplies and installs anti snap locks in St Albans to improve security for homes and businesses across AL1, AL2 and AL3.
Many uPVC and composite doors use euro cylinders, and older cylinders without anti snap protection can be vulnerable to snapping attacks. Criminals can sometimes break these locks within seconds using basic tools.
Active Lock Centre provides trusted locksmith services across the city. If you need a locksmith in St Albans, we can help with lock upgrades, lock repairs and security improvements for your property.
Call 01727 613178 for advice about upgrading your locks.
What Is Lock Snapping?
Lock snapping is a technique used by burglars to break a euro cylinder lock. By applying force to the exposed part of the cylinder, the lock can snap and expose the internal mechanism.
Once the cylinder is broken, the door can often be opened very quickly.
This type of attack mainly affects:
• uPVC doors
• composite doors
• some wooden doors fitted with euro cylinders
Older cylinders without anti snap protection are particularly vulnerable.
For more information about this type of attack see our guide on cylinder snapping security advice.
