Anti Snap Locks Fitted

If you have ever come home to find your door open and the lock not looking in good shape you will know that many locks can be very easily snapped open with a pair of mole grips. Mole grips cost between £3 and £20 maximum – these are sold in all DIY places and trade counters.

The burglar simply grips on to the outer part of the lock, and turns the mole grips, that breaks the surroundings of the lock, and then they grab and twist the lock, and many locks will simply snap. You pull the outer half out of the lock and push the door handle down and you are in.

If you have 8 seconds to spare this video shows you how easily this is done.
