Doncaster lock snapping

Break-ins across Doncaster

Doncaster lock snapping is on the rise again. In the last few weeks, I have attended break-ins in all parts of the borough. In most cases, burglars snapped the locks on uPVC and composite doors.

While great for longevity, the brass barrel is not suitable for strength. What can you do?

Advice for Doncaster residents

As a locksmith in Doncaster, I tell all residents to consider getting three-star locks on their homes. If you can not see three stars on the front of the lock, it will be weak and vulnerable to lock snapping. Please send a picture of the bow of the key and the front of the barrel via WhatsApp to my mobile on 07990573857. Then, I can tell you what you have.

Remember, thieves will look for any opportunity to rob you of your possessions. I accept I am scaring you. But this happens every year. As more people upgrade their locks, there will be less opportunity for theft.

Upgrade to Ultion high-security locks

At SF Locksmith Doncaster, I fit the Ultion three-star plus cylinder. Other good brands offer protection. But I like the Ultion because it now comes with a £5000 guarantee against lock snapping—the only one to do so. It also offers anti-bump, anti-drill, and anti-pick protection. The keys are incredibly robust, and you don’t break an Ultion key.

We also offer the opportunity for extra keys to be cut when fitting locks to your home, saving any inconvenience when needing more keys. The fitting of these locks does not alter the appearance of the door. The handles remain the same but can be changed if required.

The cost of Anti Snaps locks Doncaster

As a guide price, three locks fitted cost £210, additional locks cost £50, and extra keys cost £10 each. If you mention that you have read this blog, I will cut three for £20. This represents excellent value in protecting your home from Doncaster lock snapping.
