Cylinder Snapping

Duration windows are committed to providing the most secure doors and bi-folding doors on the market, due to the short comings of standard door cylinder locks we now offer a range of superior locking cylinders. Door cylinder snapping is on the rise. With every day tools, an educated, knowledgeable and experienced burglar can break in through a standard door cylinder lock in less than 30 seconds.

With one of our high security superior locking cylinders this is not possible. An opportunistic burglar may snap and remove the external half of these superior cylinders, but the internal half remains locked and secure. These cylinders achieve this by blocking access to the internal mechanism, once the external half has been snapped off.
