I think you meant Snickett, which is a catch or latch, spelling varies.

Where I grew up, it was a twitten.

a nice simple one that asks about tea ....

Yup. Damaged in some way.

In Scotland, as others have said, it means "locked", as in "is the door sneckit?" We might also say "snibbed". I remember the Yorkshire author Stan Barstow using the expression "sneck lifter" for a drink in one of his novels.
