A series of reports in the press and television recently in a weakness in the locks on the doors of PVC. In some regions of the United Kingdom, including the West Yorkshire Police reported that this weakness is clearly being exploited by thieves.
There is a growing problem throughout the country. No special tools are needed and a burglar can break these Euro profile cylinders in a few seconds and although we know that the methods used, we will not disclose in detail, as a precaution against "imitation" theft.
This type of exclusion commonly called a euro profile cylinder and is used worldwide on PVC PVC, aluminum and wood doors. However, the security or development of the locking mechanism is multi-point, is the gas bottle which is the area vulnerable. The cylinder is the part that allows the manipulation of keys. If the bottle is broken, the lock can be multiple points easily opened in no time.
All major manufacturers are working hard to block the solutions to the problem.
At present, only two key locks manufacturers have developed a viable solution. Both Squire and Mul-T-Lock have designed a cylinder that is yet, but done in a predetermined position which leaves the door secure. Mul-T-Lock have called their cylinders "Break insurance" and the range is called Escudero "Snapsafe '
Although these new bottles are not guaranteed against all methods of attack on PVC doors, act as a deterrent by making it more difficult for thieves to access.
Some manufacturers of locks, as Squire and ERA, are approaching the problem through the proposed security arrangements enhancers cylinder or cylinders. These metal surrounds are attached to the existing bottle on the handle of the door. ERA solution is particularly beneficial, because the door of sandwiches and the cylinder in place, making it almost impossible to remove broken cylinder.
The use of these stimulants in place with a sleeve or cylinder SnapSafe Break is probably the most effective solution on the market.
For further reduce the possibility of broken input is also vital to ensure that the bottle is the correct size and fit.
Cylinder profile the euro should exceed 2-3 mm beyond the door furniture. Often, when the bottles were replaced, the replacement of the wrong size was used, This makes the door even more vulnerable.
It is a well known fact that burglars will always choose the easiest option!
To avoid victim of this type of forced entry, check all door cylinders and, if necessary, upgrade to "break safe" or "SnapSafe 'ranges.
deadlock doors when a house is always empty, and set up a chain on the door at the main gate to use when you are at home. As an alternative to the cylinders have into account the mounting bolts of the side doors of PVC in other parts of the house.
The most common method of car theft is when thieves enter homes and stealing the keys to ensuring that all keys (car keys in particular) are hidden. Other valuables easily removed, such as jewelry, do not leave exposed areas.
Insurance is a useful complement to other methods of security and a place to store spare keys, passports, jewelry, cameras, etc. These elements are often not only economically, but precious sentimental value is irreplaceable.
