Anti-Snap Cylinders
The euro-lock cylinder is found in just about all uPVC/double glazing type doors and the vast majority of them are vulnerable to lock snapping (some of the fastest growing burglary methods in the UK.)
The "Euro" Cylinder
No matter how secure or elaborate the multi-point locking mechanism is, if the cylinder is compromised the multi-point lock can be opened in seconds without difficulty.
The snapping vulnerability is unique to Euro cylinders
Break-ins involving doors fitted with euro-cylinders are on the increase and constant demands from victims and crime reduction authorities for a solution have been met with the introduction of the Squire Stronghold Snapsafe cylinder or the Astral S Euro cylinders.
In order to ensure you do not become one of the many victims of this type of forced entry consider upgrading your cylinders to the newly available CISA Astral S or Squire Stronghold Snapsafe cylinders.
