Is Your Home Secure?
Euro Style Lock Cylinders Exploited in Less Than 20 Seconds
If your home has Europrofile Locking Cylinder door locks – which are fitted to 90% of UPVC and composite doors in the UK – then a burglar can enter your house in seconds and your home is currently at risk. The locks can be ‘Bumped’ or ‘Snapped’ in a matter of seconds, with little noise.
The number of burglaries in Kirklees and the surrounding areas, where the offender has used these methods to gain entry is rising fast.
Even more worryingly, now the average burglar has easy access to these techniques via the internet. In recent years, Snapping and Bumping have reached epidemic proportions in West Yorkshire and burglars are getting wise to these techniques across the UK.
Burglars have discovered what the lock industry have known for years, the weak point of your door is the lock cylinder – it doesn’t matter how many dead bolts you have these can easily be bypassed.
So What’s the Real Solution?
We at The Real Lock Company will supply and fit you a cylinder lock that is truly snap secure, anti bump and anti pick. The lock that has been awarded The Diamond Standard PAS 024 Secured By Design accreditation and has also gained 3 STARS after being tested to the new TS007 Standard.
We provide a free assessment of your current locks… we will not fit new locks when not needed!

Snapping
Snapping or the ‘Snap Attack’ is the method employed by burglars to snap off the front part of the lock cylinder, to expose the internal parts of the locking mechanism.
The method exploits a known vulnerability in euro style door locks and a burglar can easily bypass these locks in under 20 seconds with every day tools.
Bumping
Bumping uses a special key, which is now widely available on the internet to simply unlock your door. What’s worse, Bumping involves no forced entry and does not even damage the lock – NO FORCED ENTRY = NO INSURANCE!
Many of our clients are stunned to learn, that the locks in their doors were barely a minor inconvenience to the opportunist thief. We aim to put your mind at rest and keep you safe.
