Police in Leeds have issued an appeal for householders to get their uPVC and Composite door locks checked and replaced with anti snap and bump high security Euro Cylinders. This follows an increase in break-ins where vulnerable and cheap Euro Profile locks have been forced. Burglars use a simple tool to smash or snap the lock in a technique well known among criminals. Around one-in-four burglaries in West Yorkshire involves the Euro Profile locks, which are widely used in uPVC doors, particularly older ones.
Snapped Euro Profile cylinder door lock Neil Goldup, Chief Executive of CASAC (Community Action and Support Against Crime), said: "Many people just don’t realise how vulnerable they are if they have the Euro Profile locks fitted. “It’s incredibly easy for criminals to gain entry once they realise what type of lock is in the door. “But here at CASAC we offer a free service across most of West Yorkshire to check a property and we have new fully-tested Euro cylinder locks.”
CASAC are already fitting high security cylinder locks that will meet the new security standards that will be enforced shortly. These new standards are being brought in to address the vulnerability of existing Euro Profile locks, which are common in UPVC and composite doors, and will make sure that cylinders are of a minimum security standard. CASAC is an established West Yorkshire social enterprise that works with local people, the Police and other statutory agencies to improve community safety and is dedicated to reducing crime and the fear of crime. Only 0.01% of repeat burglaries have breached the security measures fitted by CASAC Burglary Reduction. In one hotspot area, burglary has effectively been eradicated due to a targeted approach between CASAC and West Yorkshire Police.
