Anti-Snap locks fitted in Barnsley

Lock snapping in Barnsley.

Are you concerned that uPVC door locks are not as good as they seem? The weak point is the euro cylinder, or as you may know it,  the barrel. A multipoint lock with many locking points secures uPVC doors. Yet, everything is “locked” by the barrel. You unlock and lock the door via the key. Lock snapping bypasses the need for a key. For more information on Anti-Snap locks fitted in Barnsley continue reading.

We now respond to 95% of burglaries in Barnsley, where the barrel has been snapped out. I attended my first “lock snapping” burglary in 2007- in Scunthorpe. After that, it went “viral” through Doncaster, followed by Sheffield and Rotherham. Since around 2020, it has hammered Barnsley and will continue to do so unless we take measures.

What do you think can be done?

Barnsley is being targeted because particular gangs have gained traction. Also, the other parts of South York have increased their security. This has led to fewer chances and Barnsley has become an easy target.

The best option is to change all door locks of this kind to high-security anti-snap locks. These locks have more good news as they are anti-bump, anti-drill, and anti-pick, making them hard for thieves to open.

Lock type?

I fit Ultion door locks. They are great locks, meet modern security standards, and are famous in homes and businesses. Recently, Ultion locks achieved the highest standard ever implemented, so they are now leading the pack in security. They also come with a £5000 guarantee against lock snapping. The keyway is also horizontal, which is synonymous with high-security locks and is a visual deterrent. Anti-Snap locks fitted in Barnsley ensures future safety.

How much?

Discounts are available if all the locks need changing. You can be sure of your future security. Changing three locks is approximately £210 + £50 per extra cylinder. That price is for Monday through Friday calls.
