What are antisnap locks
Anti-snap locks are a type of lock designed to prevent a type of lock-snapping burglary technique that has become increasingly common in recent years. Traditional euro cylinder locks are particularly vulnerable to this method of attack. Thieves can apply force to the protruding end of the lock, snapping it in two and exposing the internal mechanism. This allows the intruder to quickly bypass the lock and gain entry to the property without much difficulty.
Antisnap locks have been developed to help protect homeowners from this type of break-in. They are specifically designed to resist lock snapping attempts by burglars. The lock mechanism is designed to remain intact even if force is applied to the exposed end. This means that the lock will not snap off and the mechanism will remain secure inside the door.
Antisnap locks come in various formats, with differing levels of protection. Some locks have a sacrificial element that is designed to break away when force is applied, protecting the lock from being snapped in half. Other locks may have additional features such as anti-drill protection or anti-bump mechanisms to further enhance their security.
It is important to note that not all lock-snapping attacks are the same. Some may involve the use of a slide hammer, while others may use a vice grip or some other tool. Antisnap locks are intended to provide a high level of protection against the most common types of attack. However, it is important to choose a lock that is specifically designed to withstand the methods used by burglars in your area.
Antisnap locks are relatively easy to install and can be fitted to most types of doors. They can be retrofitted to existing locks, or incorporated into new installations. When choosing an antisnap lock, it is important to select one that is appropriate for the level of security that you require. The lock should be rated according to industry standards and should be installed by a qualified locksmith who has experience in fitting antisnap locks.
In conclusion, antisnap locks are an effective way to protect your property against lock-snapping burglaries. They are designed to resist the most common types of attack and can be fitted to most types of doors. When choosing an antisnap lock, it is important to choose one that is rated according to industry standards and installed by a qualified locksmith. Don’t wait until it’s too late, invest in the security of your property today.

A wish come true, Elite Windows and Conservatories have done a superb job building our conservatory from start to finish. Very professional and very friendly service from all involved. In particular the area sales manager Jack Harris who was there giving us advice and following up at every stage of the installation. Very happy with the cost as well. So glad we chose them to fulfil our dream.
Elite Windows did my Conservatory 13 years ago, which is my favourite room in the house. So when my back door broke, there was no hesitation where to go, and I wasn't wrong. Absolutely amazing job from start to finish, even going the extra mile and fixing my Conservatory guttering without even mentioning. Next stop a porch .... Thank you so much, look forward to seeing you soon 😊
I had enquired with a number of window replacement companies and asked neighbours for recommendations , right from the get go Elite Windows kept becoming the front runner. I sent an enquiry into them online and the very next day I received a phone call from one of the office women who arranged for Jack to review my request. Jack promptly called and arranged a visit that same day and gave us a quote. I was impressed with the service so far and the quote as we had 3 x 12ft bay window and 2 x smaller windows to fit was very reasonable and competitive. we signed up and waited 5 weeks to work commenced. The guys who came to fit all the windows were fabulous. they came early , cracked on with the job , tided up as they went along, kept us informed of progress and next steps. on the final day we had to leave them to it and they locked up after themselves and we came home to a completed job , all clean and organised.. Brilliant. A final phone call from the office later that day to see that we were happy with everything and then payment.could not be more pleased.
FANTASTIC service from start to finish. Superb quality doors, windows and solid roof at a good price. Excellent value for money.We're so very pleased with our new conservatory, it has made such a difference. The builders are professional and very skilled. An AMAZING job. I definitely recommend the team at Elite Windows.
