Upgrading Your High Security Door Locks
Whether you’re moving homes, replacing damaged locks, or just upgrading your security, our fast and reliable 24/7 expert locksmiths are here to get the job done.
The Importance of High Security Door Locks for Your Property
The security of your home or business should be a top priority, and one of the most effective ways to enhance protection is by upgrading to high security door locks. Unlike standard locks, which can be vulnerable to forced entry techniques such as lock snapping, picking, bumping, and drilling, high security locks are designed with advanced security features to resist these threats.
Modern burglars use increasingly sophisticated methods to gain entry, making it essential to invest in locks that are tough to beat these techniques and also that meet the highest safety standards.
Whether you are securing a residential property, commercial building, or industrial facility, high security locks offer peace of mind by providing superior protection against unauthorised access.

Lock Out Security Worries with Your Trusted Local Locksmiths
What are High Security Door Locks?
High security locks are specifically engineered to provide maximum resistance against various forms of lock attacks. They are constructed with reinforced materials, complex internal mechanisms, and patented technology that make them significantly more difficult to bypass compared to traditional locks.
Key characteristics of high-security door locks include:
Anti-Snap Protection
These locks feature break-secure technology that prevents burglars from snapping the cylinder to gain access.
Drill and Pick Resistance
High security locks contain reinforced steel components and complex pin systems that make them highly resistant to drilling and lock picking tools.
Restricted Key Duplication
Many high security locks use patented keyways, ensuring that keys cannot be easily copied without proper authorisation.
Bump-Proof Technology
These locks include advanced pin configurations that prevent bump key attacks, a common method used by intruders.
Additional Reinforcement
Some high security locks are designed with anti-saw and anti-drill plates to further strengthen the lock against physical attacks.

Anti-Snap Locks to Upgrade Your Home and Business Security in Barnsley
At Lock & Key, we install the latest snap-safe high security locks that are recommended by the police. Our goal is to provide advice on securing your property, and to give you peace of mind whether you are at home, at work, or away.
What are Anti-Snap Locks and How do they Work?
One of the most common methods of entry is lock snapping, a break-in technique that requires very little skill and can be done in a matter of minutes. High security, anti-snap locks can stop burglars in their tracks, adding an extra layer of protection.
With anti-snap locks, it is virtually impossible to gain access into your home via the lock snapping method, which has become so popular among today’s criminals.
The anti-snap cylinder has a line cut into the body, and this is known as the ‘sacrificial snap line’. The reason it is named the ‘sacrificial line’ is because this is the weak point at which the lock will snap when someone tries to tamper with it. However, the actual lock mechanism itself is protected during this process, remaining fully intact. This means the lock will not break and the door remains secure.
How do I know if I have Anti-Snap Locks?
It’s highly recommended to have your locks changed every few years to ensure your home is as secure as possible. If you’re not sure when your last lock change was, or whether you have anti-snap locks fitted, get in touch with Lock & Key today. Having a free home security check is the easiest way of finding out how secure your property is and what you can do to improve it.
