Are High-Security Locks Worthwhile?

Absolutely – we know the peace of mind that our clients enjoy when they invest in high-security locks in Sheffield. They know then that their home is resistant to typical break-in and forced entry methods, from physical force to sawing, drilling, and lockpicking. With high-security locks on your home or your place of business, you know that you are much less likely to become a victim of a break-in; only the best can break through the high-security locks we fit!

That means you have much less worry in the back of your mind that you could be a valid target for such a criminal enterprise. Criminals always find ways around security systems, and what was once vaunted and modern can become outdated very quickly. Our expert local locksmith will  make sure you get locks that are of the best standard for modern best practice and British standards.

What Makes a Door Lock High-Security?

As the name implies, high-security locks offer a more robust method of entry prevention and locking than you would get with normal lock types. The high-security locks that we work with in Sheffield make sure to meet all British Standards expectations, meaning you will meet insurance policy requirements. Generally, the high-security locks that our experts install in Sheffield offer:

We've got it covered

Anti-Snap Protection

Stop your doors from being victims of one of the most effective entry methods in the UK today; all of our high-security locks are snap resistant.

We've got it covered

Drill and Pick Resistance

Picking a lock is a matter of patience and skill; with high-security locks, only the most patient thieves will continue to try to break in. By using complex components, we make sure most lockpicking methods are made obsolete.

We've got it covered

Key Duplication Security

Are you worried that someone might clone the key to your doors? Our high-security locks come with duplication protections to limit that risk.

We've got it covered

Bump-Proof Technology

Lock bumping is a common problem, just like lock snapping is; even skill-free criminals can learn lock bumping. We make sure that such methods are far less likely to work on your doors.

We've got it covered

Additional Reinforcement

Another benefit of our high-security locks is that they are protected against typical entry methods like lock sawing and drilling, as well as all of the above techniques.

Protect Your Property’s Security with Anti-Snap Locks

Lock snapping is one of the most commonly used methods for criminal entry not only in Sheffield but across the whole of the UK. It does not take a specialist either; you can learn lock snapping in minutes. It only takes seconds to carry out, too, meaning that the best resistance to lock snapping is to have high-security locks that prevent this kind of entry. With our locks, you have locks which make lock snapping almost impossible to carry out!

Does Your Home or Business in Sheffield Require High-Security Locks

If you want genuine peace of mind, there is no better way to create that kind of harmony than by installing high-security locks. These locks are up-to-date with British Standards, meaning they secure your home or business from most forms of criminal entry. This includes regularly used methods, such as lock snapping, which remains worryingly common in Sheffield.

With the locks we install, you get protection from all of the most regularly used break-in techniques that UK criminals use. Only the most skilled thieves would have a chance of breaking through your newly fitted locks, and they would make a lot of noise and bring a lot of attention when doing so. Prevention is always the best form of stopping the risk of being a victim. With high-security locks, you have locks in place that make illegal entry almost impossible to achieve!

How to Recognise Anti-Snap Locks?

The easiest way to know if you have anti-snap locks (or other high-security lock types) is to look for the Kitemark symbol on your door. The Kitemark should have a three-star mark above the Kitemark, too, meaning they are 100% anti-snap secured. If you are unsure, call us for a professional appraisal!

Lost my front door key on hols so was dreading getting back and having to wait around for a locksmith. Called Lock and Key they were here within half an hour took less than that to open the door and replace the lock. Given plenty of spare keys the locksmith was efficient and friendly and didn't cost the earth. Highly recommended.

Having found that the French doors would not lock on Sunday evening I phoned lock and key Barnsley. I gave a description of the problem and John gave me a quote for what he thought the problem would be but explained if it was something else he may have to adjust the quote. He said he could be with me in 30 minutes, it was actually more like 20 minutes. He checked the lock and confirmed it was the issue we had discussed. John completed the required work promptly and with minimum fuss. He left me with a receipt for the work, after demonstrating the new lock working. Very happy with this service and would recommend.
