Hello
There has been a few incidents where properties have been broken into.
This has been done where the offender snaps barrel on the lock and gain entry into the property.
You can check the cylinder style lock yourself to see it's level of security by seeing how many stars are on it.
The more stars the better!
The cost to upgrade your locks is worth the investment and can be a DIY job.
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-start 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).
