The front line near the port suffers particularly from salt spray and humidity. We work with materials suitable for this exposure, marine anodised aluminium, specific sealants. When a client calls us for an emergency (keys left inside, key lost, locked door), we first assess if non-destructive opening is possible. Most standard locks can be opened with professional techniques (lock picking, impressioning, pin manipulation) in 15-30 minutes without damaging the cylinder. This saves the client the cost of replacing the entire cylinder. For high-end anti-bumping cylinders, non-destructive opening may not be possible, and the only solution is to drill the cylinder and replace it, which is more expensive but leaves the door like new with a new reinforced security cylinder. Changing just the cylinder is a 30-45 minute operation per door. The mechanical lock remains, and we only replace the inner cylinder where the key fits. The new key is completely different and will not unlock with the old one. It is the most economical option and the one we recommend when the lock is of good quality and in good condition. Changing the complete lock costs more and is justified when the lock is old or of low quality and we want to take advantage of the change to upgrade the security level. The operation takes 60-90 minutes per door.

If the lock is in good condition, only replacing the cylinder is the most economical. If it's old or low quality, a full lock change is a better investment. For a home on the Costa Blanca with medium risk (urbanisation with neighbours, not isolated), we recommend a good mid-to-high quality anti-bumping cylinder. Brands like Tesa T80, Mottura Champions or Cisa Astral are our best sellers. These cylinders have security pins that prevent the bumping technique – that sharp blow with a special key that opens any standard cylinder in less than 60 seconds. They come with a registered security key, which cannot be copied without authorisation at any hardware store. And they have European EN1303 certification, which guarantees resistance to manipulation for years. Their cost is reasonable, and the real security improvement is enormous. Full lock change or just the cylinder, depending on the case. Quality brand and new set of keys.
