Lock snapping in Rotherham continues to increase

Lock snapping has become a major issue in the Rotherham region, with practically all burglaries involving unlawful entry through this method of forced entry.

What exactly is lock snapping?

High-security anti-snap locks are commonly installed on uPVC doors as well as some composite, wood, sliding patio, and aluminium doors. Made primarily of brass, they require little maintenance since brass is a non-corrosive material. However, the lock structure contains a weakened area that can be exploited with force and knowledge, allowing the lock to be pulled out and the mechanism to be opened. Unfortunately, social media has made this secret knowledge more widely available, with videos demonstrating how to snap locks frequently found on platforms like YouTube.

How do you identify which type of door locks you have?

It is not necessary to be completely honest. Police have been known to advise that locks over 6 years old are vulnerable, but this is incorrect.

Even newly built properties may not have anti-snap locks installed. There is no obligation or insurance requirement for anti-snap locks, and it is up to the individual to ensure their locks are secure. A reputable locksmith can provide advice, but it may be necessary to physically remove and examine the lock to ensure it is not vulnerable to snapping.

The most effective anti-snap locks available in Rotherham

If the euro cylinder is flush-fitted to the handle on the outside, burglars tend to break the bottom part of the handle first. However, this can be prevented by installing high-security handles known as “pas 24” handles. These handles create a barrier around the lock, making it impossible for thieves to access the vulnerable cylinder.

The mere presence of these handles may also discourage burglars from attempting a break-in, as they will perceive the door as more secure. While not all doors can be fitted with pas 24 handles, they do fit a significant portion of doors and look great too. Combining anti-snap locks with pas 24 handle sets provides the ultimate protection against any unlawful entry.
