Lock Snapping cylinder snapping


cylinder snappingcylinder snapping
There has been a lot of confusing information on the media regarding euro profile cylinders and their weakness against attack  from snapping. There are many solutions available. some costing hundreds of pounds!

Solutions include uprated cylinders and uprated lever handles

Whilst there is a problem with the locks being snapped mainly in West Yorkshire, with the many details available on sites such as Youtube, this problem will grow and grow to Manchester, Stockport, Wilmslow, Cheadle and Macclesfield
The first thing to check is the projection of the cylinder from the handle ( how far the cylinder, or barrel sticks out)  If there is more than 5 mm of the cylinder visible, then your home is at great risk!

Choosing Macclesfiled Locksmiths

Choosing a locksmith in Macclesfield

When the security of your Family or business, is at risk, there are many important considerations when choosing a Locksmith in Macclesfield.

At Present the Locksmith Profession is not regulated by the government.

With no official licensing required there are many so called 'Locksmiths' out there, that have received very little or no training and can only gain entry by doing unnecessary damage to your door and locks in your property.

A well trained professional Macclesfield Locksmith will only resort to damaging a lock as a last resort preferring to use non destructive entry methods at all times. Always make sure your Locksmith is Licensed by the Master Locksmiths Association look for the Logo used on their website or advert, also check the company on the MLA "find a locksmith" webpages. MLA locksmiths in Macclesfield are automatically CRB checked, (criminal records bureau) as a requirement, Don't be mislead if they advertise "Police checked" as the police cannot & don't check the locksmith Industry.

Always use a genuine Local Locksmith in Macclesfield, Look for a real Local phone number, not a Free phone, or just a Mobile number. Any trustworthy Macclesfield Locksmith will have a address visible on all stationary and adverts. At Cusworth Master Locksmiths, When you phone us, you talk to a qualified Locksmith, local to Macclesfield, not telephone operators in a national call centres

Be careful when choosing a locksmiths in Cheshire from a phone book directory, such as Yellow pages or Thompson, as they encourage misleading entries. They don't care that the public are mislead, so long as they get their money! (remember big adds with multiple locations & engineers will mean a national call centre, charging very High hourly rates plus vat, before the problem has even be diagnosed the meter is ticking, (someone has to pay the thousands of pounds it cost to place these national adds, so make sure its not you). Better is the Buy With Confidence Scheme - it's run by Trading Standards so its non biased and more trustworthy.
