Anti Snap Locks Upgrade
Anti Snap Locks – A Smart Upgrade for Homes in Salisbury
We recently carried out a security upgrade at a property in Bishopdown, Salisbury. The homeowner had concerns about the strength of their front and back door locks. After a quick assessment, it became clear the property still used standard euro cylinders—commonly found on uPVC and composite doors.
Unfortunately, these basic locks are a known target for burglars using a technique called lock snapping. With very little noise or effort, criminals can snap the cylinder and gain entry in seconds. It’s one of the most common break-in methods across Wiltshire and is especially risky for older homes that haven’t been upgraded in years.
To resolve the issue, we recommended fitting snap safe locks, sometimes called anti snap locks. These locks are designed to break in a controlled way if forced—preventing access to the internal mechanism. They also include built-in features that resist lock picking and drilling, offering multiple layers of protection.
The upgrade didn’t take long, and the customer was impressed with the speed and professionalism of the service. Most importantly, they felt immediately safer knowing their home now had much stronger front-line security.
We always advise Salisbury homeowners to check their locks—especially if they were fitted more than 8–10 years ago. If you're unsure, we offer free home security checks throughout Salisbury and the surrounding areas, including Harnham, Laverstock, Wilton, and Downton.
There's no call-out charge, just clear advice and quality workmanship from a trusted local locksmith.
