Stay Safe and Secure – Review the Standard of Your Door Locks
There has been an increase in burglaries where offenders gain entry by snapping the door lock.

Recent reports indicate that the district has seen a notable rise in lock snapping incidents, with offenders targeting homes fitted with vulnerable euro cylinder locks.

To protect your home, check the type and standard of the cylinder lock installed on your UPVC or composite doors.

Consider upgrading to euro profile cylinders that meet the TS 007 3 star rating and/or the Sold Secure Diamond Standard (SS312).

Cylinders tested to the SS312 Diamond standard are often referred to as anti snap or snap safe locks.

If replacing a cylinder yourself, ensure it is measured accurately and does not protrude from the door or handle once fitted.

Remember to check all external doors, including front, side, rear, conservatory, and French doors.

Thanks to West Yorkshire Police - Wakefield East for sharing information and making more people aware of Patlock and the importance of home security.

Have you heard about the Patlock?

Patlock is the Police approved home security product for French Doors and Conservatories, providing a visual deterrent to any would be intruders and instant peace of mind for home owners.

The patented design was developed in the UK to assist home owners in securing their property against burglars and the growing trend of lock snapping.

Patlock is easy to fit and is suitable for double doors fitted with 2 horizontal handles and works by holding the internal door handles secure, meaning the external handles cannot be operated. This ensures that the door mechanism remains in the locked position, even if the locks are snapped or removed.

In addition, each Patlock comes with a pair of tamper resist spindles to enhance the security that Patlock provides.

Tested to the highest level, Patlock has been awarded the Secured by Design accreditation.
