St Peters,

It is evident that our neighbourhoods have been suffering from burglary's where locks have been tampered with. 

It has been proven that Anti snap locks have reduced locks being tampered with in an attempt to snap the lock .

To help us help you, follow GMP’s top tips to protect your home from lock snap burglaries:

*You can add additional locks to existing patio and French doors for extra security.

*Look to upgrade your euro cylinder locks to an anti-snap cylinder lock with a three-star rating under TS 007 or an anti-snap cylinder which has a solid secure diamond standard.

*Consider improving door handles and replace them with two-star rated handles conforming to TS 007.

*Use a reputable lock replacement company preferably with a Master Locksmiths Association accreditation (www.locksmiths.co.uk)

*Fitting cheap sash jammers to your doors have also been proven to prevent burglaries. (Please check this won’t invalidate any warranty on existing doors before fitting).
