Snap Safe Lock Upgrade – Better Security for a Romsey Property
Snap Safe locks - We recently visited a home near Woodley in Romsey, where the owner had concerns about the security of their door locks. After taking a look, we found standard euro cylinder locks fitted—something we still come across regularly in the area.
These older locks are a common target for burglars who use a method called lock snapping. With minimal effort, they can snap the cylinder and gain access in seconds. It’s quick, quiet, and unfortunately still used in burglaries across Hampshire.
To fix the issue, we recommended fitting snap safe locks. These modern cylinders have a sacrificial section that breaks off cleanly if forced, blocking access to the locking mechanism inside. Most models also protect against drilling, picking, and other forms of tampering.
We replaced both the front and back door locks during the visit. The job was completed quickly, and the customer felt much more secure straight away.
In areas like Cupernham, Halterworth, and the town centre, we often see homes with locks that need upgrading. Many people simply don’t realise how vulnerable their doors are until something happens—or until we give them a quick check.
If you’re unsure about your current locks, we offer free home security checks in and around Romsey. There’s no call-out charge, and no pressure—just friendly advice from someone who knows the area.
