What is lock snapping

To simplify things – locks snapping equals cylinder snapping; it requires absolutely no skills and any burglar who set his (or her…) mind to it -could do it, and do it well!

As strong as your lock might be, it still has one soft spot, more vulnerable to damages, the locks’ cylinder!

Here’s all you need to know about lock snapping- and most importantly, how you can easily prevent it in your property!

  • Locks snapping around the world:

With smart locks and security cameras attached to security systems, personalized entry systems, restricted entry and other innovative locks & security measurements- you’d be surprised lock snapping is picking up momentum as much as it did, this decade. Of course if we look deeper, immigration and refugees has definitely transformed major cities around the world, and now in almost any big city you can find a ‘downtown‘ area where most population is poor and crime is bound to hit roots… You know your neighborhood and you know its surrounding areas nature – if you hear about burglaries around and you hear the police visiting frequently, be smarter and secure yourself! How? Great question!

  • Anti-Snap locks:

The safest way to make sure you’re not exposed to lock snapping is checking your lock. Euro locks are tested and approved as either SS312 Diamond or TS007. In most wooden or uPVC the euro locks are highly reliable.

How can you identify your locks anti snap security level? Look for the SS312 Diamond, that’s the highest level of strength approval for a euro cylinder lock / The three Star Kite-Mark Logo – indicates the lock is tested and approved to prevent locks snapping / A 1-star kite Mark cylinder, along with a 2-star kite mark on the furniture (handles, cylinder guard) match a three star kite mark as well.

    Our Tips For Getting The Best Locksmith Services In Miami FL:

    We truly care about your security. Keeping you, your family and your most valuable possessions safe is why we are in business. However, whenever you are looking to hire a residential locksmith service, here are some valuable tips to make the right choice.

    FAQ

    HOW DO I KNOW WHETHER MY MIAMI LOCKSMITH IS CERTIFIED?
    When a Miami locksmith completes their official application process, they are issued with a Locksmith ID car. Locksmiths in Miami are required to display this card at all times when performing any services, regardless of the location.
    HOW LONG WILL A LOCKSMITH TAKE TO ARRIVE?
    When you’re working with the Quickly Locksmith Miami team, you can expect someone to arrive at your exact location within 15 minutes. This ensures we can get you back into your home or car as soon as possible.
    WHAT DOES A CERTIFICATION GUARANTEE?
    Your certified Miami locksmith’s work comes with a complete warranty for your locks, your property (doors/ hallways, etc.), and of course your well-being. If anything happens you share no liability, and your locks & security systems are 100% insured.
    CAN A MIAMI LOCKSMITH OPEN ALL LOCKS?
    A locksmith that has the right tools and years of experience can open almost any lock. If that’s not an option, the lock can always be replaced. Either way, your home and valuables will be safe and secure.
    CAN AN AUTO LOCKSMITH CREATE A SPARE KEY AT MY LOCATION?
    When you are locked out of your car, the last thing you want to do is arrange a ride to a locksmith shop. The Quickly Locksmith Miami mobile unit will not only meet you at your location but also help you with a replacement car key on the spot.
    DO I NEED THE ORIGINAL KEY TO MAKE A KEY COPY?
    Not necessarily. If your original key has been lost or is damaged, a Miami locksmith can use a code cutter to identify the depth of grooves in a lock’s key code. This information can then be used to create a new key.
