Snap Attack Prevention in Stockport — Anti Snap Cylinder Upgrade
Stockport has Cheshire fringe suburb with Victorian terracing. Many of these properties still have standard euro cylinders that can be snapped. Most homeowners find out their lock was vulnerable only after a break-in — and insurers are increasingly asking whether cylinders are snap-resistant when processing claims. We fit TS007 3-star anti snap cylinders across the SK area and nearby locations including Manchester, Wilmslow, Macclesfield, Hyde.
Which locks are vulnerable
Any door with a euro profile cylinder and no snap protection. This looks like a keyhole with an oval-shaped metal cylinder surrounding it on both sides of the door — standard on the majority of uPVC, composite, and aluminium front doors fitted in the UK since the 1990s. Original cylinders on these doors are almost never snap-resistant. Timber doors with a euro cylinder night latch are equally vulnerable.
How we fit it
Fitting an anti snap cylinder takes 15 to 20 minutes. We measure the existing cylinder, remove it, and fit the correct size replacement. Cylinders come in a range of sizes (most commonly 35/35 or 35/40) and we carry the most common sizes on every visit. You get new keys with every cylinder fitted, and we test the lock before leaving.
