Therefore, we at Locksmith Toronto are here to help you 24 hours a day!
Besides, we are here to explain what a lock snapping is, how to recover from it, and how to prevent it next time.
First of all, “Cylinder snapping” or “Lock snapping“ is a very common method used by burglars to break into a property that has a euro cylinder lock. Second, it may come as a surprise, but lock snapping doesn’t require a specific skill. Meaning, most thieves that break into a property are simply breaking the lock with no special method.
The method of lock snapping involves breaking the cylinder to then manipulate the lock to open.
It can take just 5-10 seconds for a thief to snap the lock.
Also, the most important thing you need to remember is that lock snapping requires no specialist tools or knowledge. Therefore, it is very important to secure your house in the best way you can.
The best way to prevent lock snapping is by installing the most secure locks (For example, a smart lock with a pin code or a fingerprint).
Moreover, an anti-snap lock can also prevent a burglary. This kind of lock is a euro cylinder lock that is tested and approved to SS312 diamond standard.
The first thing you should do after realizing someone broke into your property is to call the police.
Once the police work is done, you need to call a professional locksmith service to replace your locks. We highly suggest you consider installing a smart lock and even install a security system.
That way you can make sure all your family and belonging are protected.
