Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We provide door opening services in El Masnou. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and get started. Changing only the cylinder takes 30-45 minutes per door. The mechanical lock remains, and we only replace the inner cylinder where the key fits. The new key is completely different and won't open with the old one. It's the most economical option and what we recommend when the lock is of good quality and in good condition. Changing the entire lock costs more and is justified when the lock is old or of low quality, and we want to take the opportunity to improve security. This operation takes 60-90 minutes per door.

When to call for door opening in El Masnou

Damage-free opening when possible, complete lock or cylinder replacement, installation of high-security anti-bumping cylinders. When a client calls us for an emergency (keys left inside, lost key, locked lock), we first assess if damage-free opening is possible. Most standard locks can be opened with professional techniques (picking, impression key, 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, damage-free opening may not be possible, and the only solution is to drill out the cylinder and replace it, which is more expensive but leaves the door like new with a new, reinforced security cylinder. Glazing: replacement of broken glass in windows, balcony doors, and communal doors. Tempered and laminated safety glass according to regulations, decorative glass for screens. We work with Climalit double glazing when a full pane needs replacing due to accidental impact or poor closure.

Materials and Brands

For a home on the Costa Blanca with medium risk (urbanisation with neighbours, not isolated), we recommend a good quality, mid-to-high-range 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 under 60 seconds. They come with a registered security key, which cannot be copied without authorisation at any hardware store. They also have European EN1303 certification, guaranteeing resistance to manipulation for years. Their cost is reasonable, and the real security improvement is enormous. 30 days on labour. Premium cylinders with official manufacturer warranty up to 10 years. Full lock replacement or cylinder only, depending on the case. Quality brand and new set of keys.

How long does a cylinder change take?
30-45 minutes per door for a standard replacement. Full lock change: 60-90 minutes.

Copies can only be made by an official distributor with your authorisation, presenting your owner's card. It's impossible to copy without your consent. Recommended for all security cylinders.
Which cylinder do you recommend?
Tesa T80, Mottura Champions or Cisa Astral for mid-to-high range. For high security: Cisa Astral S, Mul-T-Lock Junior or Tesa T80 Plus.
