Anti snap cylinder upgrade

Upgrade your home to an Anti-Snap Barrel

To enter a property quickly, burglars will often use a technique called snapping. To do this, place an object into the lock and break it.

When this happens, you won’t be able to operate your lock. As the keyway is broken, you will effectively locked out of your home.

But when you upgrade to an anti-snap cylinder, this prevents lock snapping from happening due to toughened metal.

When choosing an anti-snap cylinder, opt for a TS007 model, which offers protection against snapping, but also picking and drilling as well.

With so many features of safety and reliability, as well as being affordable, an anti-snap lock cylinder is often the best option for homes, businesses and apartments.

Why does an anti-snap cylinder upgrade matter?

Durable, strong, and in keeping with the style of your home, and anti-snap cylinder upgrade is designed to enhance the safety of your home. It also ensures that the most common entry techniques used by burglars will not succeed.

Provides lock cylinder protection against lock snapping

As mentioned above, burglars use snapping methods to gain entry to your home. The lock cylinder is snapped and the essential mechanisms which keep your door locked can be manipulated.

Gives enhanced security against multiple types of attack methods

Anti-snap cylinder upgrades don’t just protect your lock cylinder from lock snapping, but many manufacturers also make these high security locks to be effective against drilling, picking and bumping.

We measure all cylinders carefully for your peace of mind

We can’t identify what type of cylinder you have over the phone, so our locksmiths will always double-check with their own measurements.

A few millimetres can make a world of difference when you have a new cylinder installed, so we will always endeavour to install the best one for your specific door lock.

Whichever one you need, you can guarantee that we already have it in our mobile van to make replacements easy.

If you need a different cylinder ordered online, we can do that for you too, and come back at a time that suits you to have it fitted.

We are a 24/7 service, so we can be booked in at any time you like.

Choose the best anti-snap locks for your door type

You have the choice over which kind of lock cylinder is best for you, but our locksmiths will explain how the different lock cylinders are designed to ensure your home is safe.

1-star cylinder + 2-star handle

We recommend that you have an overall system that meets 3 stars. To do this easily, you can choose a handle which has 2 stars and a cylinder that has 1. When combined, they offer excellent protection against snapping, and it’s a good alternative to just installing a 3-star cylinder.

3-star cylinder

Many times, it’s easier to just install a 3-star cylinder from the start. You’ll benefit from protection against snapping, as well as bumping, picking and drilling. We can help you changing locks in under 30 minutes.

We install all cylinders and handles to the correct standard

Your home’s access control system should be as secure as possible, and our locksmith services will ensure your property has the highest levels of protection.

We ensure that the cylinder is not sticking out more than a couple of millimetres and that any security handles are fitted properly with our specialist tools.

This reduces the risk of incorrect installation not done to the manufacturer’s standards, which could invalidate your insurance.

We know the exact techniques to use to enhance your home’s security as well as keep it in style with your neighbouring homes in London.

Access control system options for your home

Cylinders are an excellent way to prevent burglary attacks and secure your home, and when you need to protect your doors from unauthorised entry, you have a number of options:

Rekey the locks

If you have a fairly new cylinder that features anti-snap and anti-drill technology, then instead of installing a new one, we can rekey the existing cylinder so a different key will work with it.

Choose a keyed-alike solution

When you need one key to open multiple locks in your home and business, request a keyed-alike service from our locksmiths. It’s easy to set up, and we can even offer master key systems, however it can mean changing all the locks if you lose the key.

Get anti-bump protection with a restricted profile

As well as being anti-snap, we can offer cylinders that are anti-bump. Bumping means unauthorised copied keys can’t open the door, and keys to the door have a restricted profile specific to that lock.

How compatible are they with different door types?

Cylinder access control systems can be used on multiple types of doors to increase your security and give you the peace of mind that your home is safe and secure.

We can install cylinders on doors of all materials, including:

uPVC and composite doors

Most cylinders are installed on these types of doors, and the price can vary depending on whether you’re just having the cylinder upgraded or the whole lock. We will help you find the best lock cylinder for you and change it in under 30 minutes in most cases.

Wooden doors

To determine the best lock for your door, we will see what kind of mortice lock you already have, as the most common lock will be a Euro cylinder we can swap out. We carry a variety of locks in our vans, so you can choose the material that suits your home the best.

Pair with a nightlatch system

By installing a nightlatch with a rim cylinder that is also anti-snap, you’ll get the best protection from attempted burglaries. It can be used in conjunction with a regular Euro cylinder to boost security, and we will be able to help you decide on the best one for you.

Contact Londoner Locksmith today on 07309666595 to get the maximum protection for your home. Choose the latest anti-snap cylinder upgrades, tested to the highest standards, and offering resistance to snapping attempts and much more.

FAQs

Should a cylinder stick out past the handle?

Cylinders that come out past the handle are a risk. It makes it easier to snapping. When our team installs your cylinders, they will be flush to the door to eliminate this issue.

How soon can you fit an anti-snap lock?

Cylinders can be fitted in just 30 minutes in most cases. We offer our service across London, and our usual arrival time anywhere in the city is under 60 minutes.

Do I have to buy security handles with the lock?

It’s not essential, but you should aim for 3-star security. This can be achieved simply by purchasing a high security 3-star cylinder, or you can achieve it by combining a 1-star cylinder with a 2-star handle.

Can I have one key for multiple doors?

Yes, when we attend, just ask us about extra security options like master key access control systems and keyed alike systems. We will explain which is best for you and show you the options available for your home or business.
