Anti-snap cylinder upgrades
Euro cylinders swapped for 3-star anti-snap — defeating the most common break-in method on uPVC doors.
About this job
Lock snapping takes a burglar under 30 seconds on a standard euro cylinder, and it's by far the most common attack on uPVC and composite doors. A TS007 3-star cylinder has a sacrificial section that snaps off leaving the lock secure. It's a 15-minute swap per door and one of the highest-value security upgrades you can make — we also check your handles and fit security escutcheons where the cylinder protrudes.
What's included
- ✔TS007 3-star anti-snap cylinders
- ✔Correct sizing so nothing protrudes
