First of all, “Cylinder snapping” is a very common method used by burglars to break into a property that has a euro cylinder lock. Second, it may come as a surprise, but lock snapping doesn’t require a specific skill.
Meaning, most thieves that break into a property are simply breaking the lock with no special method.
The method of breaking the lock or snapping involves breaking the cylinder to then manipulate the lock to open.
It usually takes only 5-10 seconds for a thief to snap the lock.
Further, the most important thing you need to remember is that lock snapping requires no specialist tools or knowledge. Therefore, it is very important to secure your house in the best way you can. The best way to prevent it is by installing a high-security lock that the burglar can’t break.
As we mentioned before, the best way to prevent lock snapping is by installing the most secure locks (For example, a smart lock with a pin code or a fingerprint).
Moreover, an anti-snap lock can also prevent burglary. This kind of lock is a euro cylinder lock that is tested and approved to SS312 diamond standard.
How a lock will protect against lock snapping:
The first thing you should do after finding someone broke into your property is to call the police. Once the police finished their job, you need to order a locksmith to replace your locks right away.
