High-Security Locks Explained (Without the Jargon)

14 April 2026 6 min read

Anti-snap, anti-drill, anti-bump — what these features actually mean and when you need them.

'High security' gets thrown around loosely. Here's what actually matters.

Anti-snap

A sacrificial section snaps off cleanly, leaving the working part of the cylinder intact.

Anti-drill

Hardened steel inserts stop a common drill dead.

Anti-bump

Specially profiled pins defeat the 'bump key' attack.

Registered keys

Copies can only be cut by authorised locksmiths, on presentation of a key card.
