Solid wood is the traditional, robust, restorable, and durable option. Its drawback is seasonal movement due to humidity: in humid summers it absorbs water and swells, in dry winters it contracts. This causes some doors to rub against the frame in July-August and show visible gaps in January-February. For homes occupied all year round in areas with stable humidity, this is not an issue. For holiday homes with long periods of closure or intermittent heating, movement is more noticeable. Yes, especially for large doors, on upper floors, or if mobility is an issue. The investment pays off in comfort within one season. A highly requested improvement today is combining a motorised blind with a retractable insect screen integrated into the same box. This allows both the blind and the insect screen to operate independently, both hidden when not in use. It is the standard solution in modern new construction. For existing home renovations, it requires replacing the entire box with a new, deeper one that accommodates both systems.

All that investment in a security cylinder loses its meaning if key copies are freely made at any local hardware store. The registered key of a security cylinder can only be duplicated by the manufacturer's official distributor upon presentation of the owner's card, which we provide upon installation. Without that card, no copy is possible. This means you control exactly how many keys exist and who has them. You will never have the uncomfortable doubt of whether the local locksmith or a copier might have kept your key pattern for future use. Official manufacturer's warranty 5-10 years depending on brand and model. Plus 30 days on labour. For isolated villas, single-family homes in affected areas, or owners with previous experience of attempted burglaries, we recommend high-security cylinders such as Cisa Astral S, Mul-T-Lock MT5+, Tesa T80 Plus, or Mottura Champions. These increase the rating to EN1303 grade 6, adding all anti-features (bumping, picking, drilling, extraction). They come with a manufacturer's burglary insurance guarantee. This guarantee is relevant. If, despite everything, they manage to enter and you can prove the cylinder was tampered with, the manufacturer covers part of the damage.
