Ensuring your property’s security and safety is important and selecting the best locks for your home can be a difficult decision. Knowing the difference between the different types of locks is a great place to start and will be extremely helpful when making your final choice.
We’d like to provide you with all the information you need on UPVC locks and how they can be the perfect locks for your home.
UPVC Locks
UPVC locks, or Euro locks as they are also known as, are durable and reliable high-quality strong cylinders that have been tested to British standard, offering the highest level of security. They are equipped with the standard multipoint locking system, fitted with long metal strips, allowing Hooks and Rollers to also be added as additional locking devices.
The most common door handle found on a UPVC door is a Euro handle, which goes perfectly with euro locks and euro cylinders that make-up the UPVC locks. UPVC locks are made up of a dimple cut blade key and a 12 telescopic pin tumbler system. They are available in two different styles, standard UPVC locks and anti-snap locks.
Standard UPVC locks are basic in design, using one piece of metal which connects the sides of the locking mechanism together. UPVC locks are available in multiple sizes making them adaptable and suitable for a range of different UPVC door types.
Anti-Snap UPVC Locks
Anti-snap UPVC locks are a fantastic choice, providing extra security than standard UPVC locks and allow the locks to operate correctly and still lock even after experiencing an attempted break-in. Additional components are used with the popular anti-snap lock mechanism, allowing only the front of the lock to be damaged leaving the cam secure and preventing any further access to the mechanism or your property completely. Anti-snap locks are available in a variety of different models and finishes depending on your preference.
