Hello Everyone!
So iv'e noticed there has been a recent surge of break-ins in the area, often using a method called "lock-snapping." This involves using pliers to rip off the handle and snap the Euro cylinder, allowing the burglar to push the broken barrel aside and gain easy access with just a screwdriver.
To prevent this, it's essential to install a high-security door cylinder, specifically a "British Standard 3 Star, Anti-Snap Security Rated, Door Cylinder." These locks have been rigorously tested by the British Standards Institute (BSI) and are considered among the most secure options on the market.
If an intruder attempts to snap one of these locks, the security cam engages, locking the cylinder in place with a hardened steel pin. This prevents the burglar from pushing the broken half out and opening the door with a screwdriver. The 3 Star logo on the face of the lock also serves as a deterrent, as criminals know it's futile to try lock-snapping when these are installed.
These high-security cylinders are typically priced between £50-£70 (RRP), depending on the size needed.
This has inspired me to Start Three Star Locks UK to offer the general public high security door cylinders at reasonable prices.
We now stock the Pro-Tek range by Secure ARC, offering a competitively priced 3 Star lock option.
Investing in this simple yet effective home security measure can make a significant difference in deterring break-ins, as criminals are less likely to target properties with these advanced locks.
