Have you got a uPVC door? Or do you have a Composite wooden door? If so you may want to read on…..

Have you heard about the Anti-Snap cylinder? Most uPVC or composite doors have regular 5 pin cylinders as lock barrels, and the mulit point locking system. Therefore - you lift the handles, to engage the locking mechanism and turn the keys to lock the bolt.

You’d think secure wouldn’t you? Well…it’s probably the least secure front door lock out there. Burglars simply wrench the handles off the door, stick a set of mold grips around the cylinder snap it out of the door, flick the latch over and ‘hey presto’ they’re in you house. All of this within about 30 seconds!

Scary thought i’m sure. Here at the Locksmiths Liverpool we have a simple solution - swap your regular lock barrel for a 6 Pin Anti-Snap, and the cylinder has 2 additional snapping points that leave the weakest part of the cylinder in tact and covering the latch. That way the burglar, snaps the cylinder out of the door but can go no further because the latch is still covered inside your mechanism. At worst it costs you a new set of handles and a new Anti-Snap cylinder - at best it’s saved your best china, the Audi A6 on the driveway, the plasma TV and DVD - and the wallet on the side board!

My advice - spend the £45 it could cost you to get a new Anti-Snap cylinder fitted - and reap the rewards should you house have an attempted burglary!
