Anti-snap cylinders & rekeying

Anti-snap cylinders are commonly rated to TS 007 3-star or Sold Secure SS312 Diamond; the cylinder is sized to the door so it does not stick out.

What this covers

Replacing euro cylinders with anti-snap cylinders, or rekeying locks after a move or a lost key.

Before the locksmith arrives

  • Wait somewhere safe and well lit, especially at night.
  • Have ID and proof of address (or the V5C logbook for a car) ready.
  • Do not force the door or window — frame and glass damage usually costs more than the lock.
