Lock snapping is one of the most common ways burglars defeat uPVC and composite doors, and it takes seconds with no special tools. The good news is that an anti snap cylinder upgrade is inexpensive and one of the single most effective security improvements you can make to an Oxford home.

We fit anti snap cylinders, British Standard locks and other high security upgrades across Oxford, at a fixed price agreed first and with no call out fee.

What Is Lock Snapping

Many older euro cylinders snap cleanly when force is applied, letting an intruder remove the broken half and open the door. If your front or back door uses a euro cylinder fitted before about 2012 it may be vulnerable.

Anti Snap Cylinders

Anti snap cylinders are designed to break in a controlled way that keeps the lock secure. We fit kitemarked three star rated cylinders as part of a lock change or as a straight upgrade.

British Standard BS3621 Locks

Most home insurers require British Standard BS3621 locks on final exit doors. We supply and fit them on timber and composite doors and can confirm whether your current locks comply.

uPVC and Composite Doors

uPVC doors rely on a multipoint mechanism and cylinder. We upgrade the cylinder and service the mechanism through our uPVC door lock service so the whole door is secure.

Who Should Upgrade

Anyone with older euro cylinders, recent movers who want to control access with a rekey or change, and anyone securing a home after a break in. We can review your doors and quote a fixed price.
