I'd thought it meant damaged in some way. But like all dialect can mean
different things depending on the part of the country.

Has the doctor said Jim's brain is sceckit?

From the same dictionary entry I would get the expression (1950s London) "on
the sneck" meaning fixed open of a yale lock or similar so it dd not lock when
the door shut.

OTOH the following gives a Scottish meaning similar to the English "nicked" in
the sense of a small cut:

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

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.
