Lock Snapping & Your UPVC Doors

15/9/2016

As part of their National Home Security Month initiative YALE have published a series of tips on how best to protect your property. One common vulnerability are Eurocylinder locks, which are fitted to most UPVC doors. Here is what YALE have to say:

What is lock snapping?
"Lock snapping involves snapping the lock cylinder in two, by applying force, and removing the outside part to expose the lock mechanism. Doing so provides access to the mechanism, allowing the door to be unlocked.
Thieves use tools like hammers and screwdrivers to snap the locks and, worryingly, it can take just seconds to gain access. This technique does not require experience or skill, merely brute force.
The locks most at risk of this type of attack are fitted with a euro profile cylinder. Euro profile locks are found in the majority of PVCu and composite doors installed in the last 15 years and operate in combination with a multipoint lock".

Through lock snapping you will be able to push out the cylinder lock and open the lock mechanism. Once you will be able to open it the door lock will automatically be unlocked.

A locksmith should also be available to respond to emergency calls when customers are locked out of their homes or cars through either forgetfulness or lock break.
