Upgrading Your High Security Door Locks
Whether you’re moving house, need to replace damaged locks, or want to upgrade your security, our expert locksmiths are available 24/7 to provide a fast, reliable service whenever you need it.
The Importance of High Security Door Locks for Your Property
You should never trivialise the security (and sanctity) of your property, whether it’s your home or place of business. The best way to prevent unauthorised access is to install high-quality locks to protect against common burglary methods (like drilling, bumping, snapping, picking, etc.). Unlike traditional locking mechanisms, our high-security locks have top-notch security features that can deter common housebreakers, protecting your loved ones and their possessions.
Burglars these days have become very sophisticated, and modern problems require upgraded security solutions. You should invest in locking mechanisms that are unbreakable, impenetrable, and comply with the highest safety standards in the United Kingdom.
These high-security locks protect homes and office buildings alike, offering property owners faith in the security of their premises by keeping unwanted visitors out.

What Makes a Door Lock High-Security?
A high-security door lock is made with reinforced materials and contains very complex internal mechanisms, resisting common burglary methods and making your property immune to criminal elements. With patented technologies, high-security locks are very hard to break, discouraging a common burglar from even approaching your home/office.
A high-security locking mechanism generally features:
Anti-Snap Protection
Burglars often snap a lock’s internal cylinder to bypass it. But anti-snap protection involves the powerful break-secure technology to prevent that.
Drill and Pick Resistance
Since many burglars use drilling and picking methods to break into people’s homes, modern locks are manufactured with reinforced steel and have complicated pin systems to prevent that.
Limited Key Duplication
With patented keyways, advanced locking mechanisms prevent key duplication by unauthorised individuals.
Bump-Proof Technology
Many housebreakers use bumping. To prevent that, high-quality locks have pin configurations so advanced, an intruder cannot possibly replicate them.
Additional Reinforcement
You can even find high-security locking mechanisms that resist sawing and drilling, making your home an impenetrable fortress no matter what tricks burglars have up their sleeves.

Protect Your Property’s Security with Anti-Snap Locks
We aim to restore your peace of mind by installing anti-snap, high-security door locks as per the recommendations of your local authorities. That’s how you can rest assured that your premises are burglar-resistant whether you’re home alone or at work.
How do Anti-Snap Locks Work?
Many amateur burglars (and even seasoned ones) use snapping to break into people’s homes. It is a simple trick that takes a few minutes and doesn’t require much lock-breaking expertise. If you want to make your home burglar-resistant, an anti-snap lock is usually the first step.
These locks make sure that snapping would never work on your lock! Since many burglars have grown accustomed to using this method, anti-snap locks prevent them from breaking in.
The anti-snap cylinder includes a deliberate weak point, referred to as the “sacrificial snap line,” which is designed to break away if the lock is subjected to forced entry attempts. This clever design protects the internal locking mechanism, keeping it fully operational and secure. As a result, the lock remains functional, and the door stays secure even if the sacrificial line snaps.
How to Recognise Anti-Snap Locks?
Wondering if you already have an anti-snap lock at home? Or do you want to upgrade your door lock by installing an anti-snap model? Changing your locks every few years is good practice. At Rotherham Lock & Key we will fit an anti-snap lock to make your property burglar-resistant. We can conduct a free security check of the premises to check how well-protected your property is and how we can improve it.
