Lock snapping is still a common method burglars use to break into uPVC, patio, and composite doors. Many homes still have older euro cylinders. These can be broken in seconds with simple tools… upgrading to quality anti-snap locks in the Isle of Axholme makes such a difference.
A phrase I often hear is, “If they want to get in, they will.” To a point that may be true, but in reality, most burglars are looking for a quick and easy opportunity. If a lock takes too long to snap, they usually move on. They don’t want to attract attention by lingering at the property.
Modern high-security cylinders, like the unique Ultion WXM Alps locks, resist lock-snapping attacks. They also act as a strong visual deterrent against opportunistic thieves.
High-security anti-snap locks supplied & fitted
The good news is that lock snapping is largely preventable. Upgrading old door cylinders to modern anti-snap locks can boost your home’s security. This makes your property much less appealing to burglars. I can easily swap out weak or old locks for high-security anti-snap cylinders. These new locks help resist modern burglary methods. Upgrades are quick and keep your door’s look the same. But they can greatly improve your home security and peace of mind.
Anti-snap locks
I fit Ultion WXM ALPS locks, with ALPS standing for “Always Locked Protection System”. These high-security cylinders offer far greater protection than standard euro cylinder locks and include:
Anti-snap protection
Anti-drill protection
Anti-bump protection
Resistance against thermal attacks
Anti-twist protection
Ultion WXM ALPS locks also come with a £5,000 manufacturer’s guarantee if the lock is snapped during a break-in attempt. They are TS007 3-Star rated and achieve the Sold Secure Diamond standard… one of the highest levels of residential lock security available.
Additional benefits include improved key control, making keys harder to copy without permission, along with stronger, thicker keys that are less likely to bend or snap. Their distinctive design also acts as a visible deterrent to opportunist burglars.
Together, these features help better protect your home, property, and family against modern burglary methods.
Upgrade to high-security door handles
For even greater protection, we also supply and fit the Brisant Sweet range of high-security door handles, designed to work alongside anti-snap locks for maximum door security. Unlike standard handles, Brisant Sweet handles feature a unique curved design that makes them extremely difficult to grip with mole grips or attack tools. This helps prevent burglars from gaining access to the cylinder in the first place, adding another important layer of protection against lock snapping attacks.
These premium security handles also include:
High-security anti-grip design
Strong reinforced fixings
Excellent resistance against forced attack
Twenty-year anti-corrosion guarantee
Modern high-quality finish and styling
When paired with a quality 3-star anti-snap cylinder, such as the Ultion WXM ALPS lock, they create one of the best security combinations available for uPVC and composite doors today, while also enhancing your door’s appearance.
