Euro cylinder lock snapping
Lock snapping is the most prevalent method and is on the increase throughout South Yorkshire. The best advice to combat this problem is to change all locks on uPVC, composite, and aluminium doors where a euro profile cylinder has been fitted.
Upgrade to anti-snap locks.
Even if the door is relatively new, there is every chance it is still vulnerable. House builders are not obliged to fit snap-secure locks to new properties and will not in this present economic market where costs are an issue. I know this may sound mad, but it remains a fact that they are not upgrading locks to higher-secure versions.

My Personel Advice
I have gleaned vast amounts of knowledge from over 25 years of experience in attending break-ins. Homeowners will often ask about deterrents, and my advice is simple. I believe that to rely on only one form of protection for a property is not enough. Every point of defence is just worth a point. An alarm is one point- anti-snap locks are a point- a Ring doorbell is a point, etc. The more points- the better your protection. However, if it came down to just one, you would never be better protected than having a keen dog!
