The word is used in northern English dialects, particularly in the Midlands and the North, where 'sneck' and related forms describe a latch or catch. Archaic in contemporary standard English, where 'latch' has taken over entirely, but survives in local dialect speech in parts of Northern England and in dialect literature. The word has a satisfyingly mechanical sound.
