Anti Snap Locks Sheffield
I’m Steve, owner of SY Locksmiths and I supply and fit anti-snap locks in Sheffield. If you have standard euro cylinder locks fitted to your uPVC or composite doors, upgrading to high-security anti-snap locks will provide much better protection against lock snapping.
I keep TS007 3-star anti-snap locks in stock at all times. I carry many different finishes and sizes on the van, so if its an emergency such as a burglary repair I don’t have to wait for parts to arrive.
Fitting Anti-Snap Locks in Sheffield
Having your locks upgraded to anti snap locks is usually a straightforward job. It doesn’t take me long and leaves no mess. It does however massively increase the security of your door.
When I arrive I’ll check the existing lock and confirm if its anti snap or not. If it’s not an anti snap lock I'll remove your old lock and show you the difference between your new anti snap lock and your old basic lock.
I will then fit the new lock, test everything is functioning correctly and show you how to use your new keys. I'll then go over some very basic maintenance tips to help you get the maximum life span from your new anti snap lock.
If you're unsure what locks you currently have fitted, you can contact me via, phone, text or email and I can advise.
What Are Anti-Snap Locks?
Anti-snap locks are designed to protect against lock snapping, a method used by burglars to break certain types of euro cylinder.
Standard euro cylinders are vulnerable to snapping as they are not designed to resist this type of attack. An anti-snap cylinder is designed differently, with features intended to stop the cylinder from breaking in the same way.
I've explained more about how lock snapping works an and which locks can be vulnerable in my “what is lock snapping” guide.
TS007 3-Star Anti-Snap Locks
Not all anti-snap locks offer the same level of protection. I supply and fit TS007 3-star cylinders, which are independently tested to a higher security standard.
Being a locksmith in Sheffield for over 30 years I’ve secured hundreds of homes across the area with anti snap locks.
If your existing locks are the older basic type or you're unsure what type of cylinders are fitted to your doors, I can check them for you and explain what options are available.
Anti-Snap Locks for uPVC & Composite Doors
Most uPVC and composite doors use euro cylinder locks, although they can also be found on wooden and metal doors as well.
I regularly fit anti-snap cylinders to all different door types in Sheffield. I only fit the highest rated anti snap locks from the industries leading lock manufacturers, such as Apecs, Yale, Brisant and Prolox.
Do I Need Anti-Snap Locks?
If your uPVC or composite doors have older standard euro cylinders then you really should consider upgrading to anti snap locks. Lock snapping is the most common burglary method I see throughout Sheffield and has been for well over 10 years now.
Standard euro cylinders are vulnerable to this type of attack, allowing burglars to break the cylinder and gain access to your home without needing a key. Anti-snap locks are designed to combat this method of entry, making it much harder for someone to break in this way.
Keyed Alike Anti Snap Locks
If you choose to have more than one anti snap lock fitted at the same time I can supply and fit them keyed alike.
This means one key to open more than one lock. Customers love the convince of keyed alike as it removes the need to carry a big bunch of keys.
I can key alike multiple doors, this also includes outhouses, garages doors and padlocks. This means you could have your entire property working from just one key.
