    Hi all, not to sure if my cylinder is out to far for a thief to grip it enough to snap it should I be worried?

    Thanks

    Is it anti snap?
    Yes that could be snapped.

    Look up ABS locks.

    Worth getting one and measure it so it ain't sticking out as much.

    They snap surprisingly easy .. get a shorter lock or check if it is anti snap.

    They look good thanks I have the previous cylinder locks to measure I was in a rush to change keys on new home and couldn't find right length.

    I’d definitely get a smaller cylinder.

    I know they do I lost the key on a previous home and had to snap the cylinder to remove it.
