Lock Snapping
High security Euro cylinders can prevent against lock snapping which is a method used by burglars to break into a home and can gain access through your front or back door within 60 seconds when a standard euro cylinder is fitted. The intruder will smash the door handle and break the cylinder in two, then manipulate the lock open. It is not just the multi-lock that ensures the door is secure but the cylinder itself that operates and controls the lock. The cylinder is the weakest point and if compromised all the locking points are in vain.
Key Bumping
Lock bumping is a lock picking technique that intruders use for opening a UPVC & Double Glazed door locks using a specially made bump key which they fit into the cylinder then tap while trying to turn the key.
Below is a before photograph of a standard Euro cylinder and an after photograph of a extra security cylinder fitted in the same pair of French doors:

UPVC door lock advice and how to help prevent burglaries
I was given a met police leaflet by one of my customers regarding UPVC door lock advice which I would like to share with you. If you would like piece of mind and extra security, please call The Window Wizard for advice and a fixed price for a door lock change.
- Your doors must be double locked to be properly secured.
- Deadlock your door with the key, do not just lift the handle.
- Keep house keys upstairs or store them near the door, out of sight, for easy access in an emergency.
- Use all door and window locks fitted to your home.
- Keep your car keys away from the front door and store them somewhere safe
- Ensure that all your multi-point door locks are working correctly.
If your UPVC door lock is not functioning correctly then please give us a call on 0208 310 4193 so we can give you a FREE quote to repair or renew your door lock.
The Metropolitan Police and Greenwich Council have got together to print and distribute the above leaflets.
Keeping your home safe
- Please remember to always lock your doors and windows, even if you are only going out for a few minutes. If you have a UPVC door lock or windows double-lock them with the keys to secure them properly.
- Leave some lights on if it will be dark before you get home. Install low wattage ‘dusk to dawn’ outside lights. If you have a burglar alarm remember to activate it.
- I can upgrade your existing standard door cylinder and supply and fit a high security cylinder.
How The Window Wizard can help you
I have also noticed that many people do not fully lock their front UPVC door lock.
If your door handle does not lift fully up and allow you to turn your key it could be that your door is misaligned, dropped or another simple problem that can be fixed.
If your UPVC door is not locking fully then give me a call and I will quote you a fixed price over the phone to fix it.
