This event once again highlights the vulnerability of properties that have not fitted anti-snap locks. Fitting anti-snap locks is highly recommended as an effective way of protecting your home. Anti-snap locks significantly change the dynamics, as criminals avoid attempting to break into properties through doors fitted with Anti-snap locks because it’s extremely difficult to do and involves specialist tools and noise for a prolonged period to try and defeat the lock.
