Lock Snapping Is on the increase! you may have already seen this in local news or on TV. Thieves are easily exploiting a massive weak spot on euro profile cylinders which are fitted to 99% of all UPVC doors with just a couple of cheap hand tools. A big selling point of UPVC doors is always the multipoint locking mechanisms and how secure they are, but what they don’t tell you is that 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 getting increasingly more common.
It is now estimated that around 30% of burglary’s are committed by criminals snapping the lock.
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 using cheap ever day hand tools meaning no key is required to open the door.
