Yes, for large doors, on upper floors, or if there are mobility issues. The investment pays off in comfort within a season. A highly requested upgrade today is combining a motorised roller shutter with an integrated roll-up mosquito net in the same housing. This allows both the shutter and the net to operate independently, both concealed when not in use. It's the standard solution in modern new builds. For renovations of existing homes, it requires replacing the entire housing with a new, deeper one to accommodate both systems. Solid wood is the traditional, robust, restorable, and durable option. Its drawback is seasonal movement with 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 have visible gaps in January-February. For homes lived in year-round in areas with stable humidity, it's not a problem. For holiday homes with long periods of closure or intermittent heating, the movement is more noticeable.

All that investment in a security cylinder is pointless if key copies can be made freely at any hardware store in the neighbourhood. The registered key for the security cylinder can only be duplicated at the manufacturer's official distributor by presenting the owner's card we provide upon installation. Without this card, no copies can be made. This means you have precise control over how many keys exist and who has them. You'll never have the unsettling doubt of whether the local locksmith or a copy service has kept a template of your key for future use. Replacing handles is the most aesthetically cost-effective upgrade. A new, medium-quality handle (chrome-plated or lacquered steel) changes the perception of the door and lasts 20-30 years without issues. For bathrooms and bedrooms, handles with a simple interior lock. For exterior doors leading to a patio or terrace, we recommend a lock with a quality cylinder if there's a risk of intrusion. For isolated chalets, single-family homes in high-incidence areas, or owners with previous experience of attempted break-ins, we recommend high-security cylinders like Cisa Astral S, Mul-T-Lock MT5+, Tesa T80 Plus, or Mottura Champions. These achieve EN1303 Grade 6, include all anti-features (bumping, picking, drilling, extraction), and come with the manufacturer's burglary insurance guarantee. This guarantee is significant. If, despite everything, someone breaks in and you can prove the cylinder was tampered with, the manufacturer covers part of the damage.

The price for door opening in Palau-solità i Plegamans typically ranges between €43 and €480 as an indicative reference. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and work time, and we always finalise it after seeing photos or —if you prefer— after an on-site visit, with no obligation. In the area, market references for similar jobs are around €130; we are usually below that when the property's condition allows. For apartments in blocks with neighbours, an active community, and natural surveillance, we recommend medium-to-high security cylinders like Tesa T80 or Cisa Astral. Effective anti-bumping, registered key (cannot be copied without your authorisation), EN1303 Grade 5 certification (resistance to manipulation for years). Reasonable cost and a significant real improvement over the standard. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll respond in under 10 minutes during business hours.
