We change lock cylinders in Argentona. We visit the property, assess the job, provide a clear price, and get started. When a client calls us for an emergency (keys left inside, key lost, locked out), we first assess if non-destructive entry 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 entry may not be possible, and the only solution is to drill out and replace the cylinder. Although more expensive, this leaves the door like new with a reinforced security cylinder.
The price depends on the service and complexity. We will send you a clear, no-obligation quote before any work begins. Call us, message us on WhatsApp or request your quote online — we'll reply in less than 10 minutes during business hours. Select the service you need to see more details and request a quote.
Changing only 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 work with the old one. This 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. This operation takes 60-90 minutes per door. Non-destructive opening when possible, complete lock or cylinder replacement, installation of high-security anti-bumping cylinders. Examples: water leak • power cut • air conditioning not cooling • stuck blind • painting…
If the lock is in good condition, replacing only the cylinder is the most economical option. If it's old or of low quality, a complete lock change is a better investment. For a home on the Costa Blanca with medium risk (an urbanisation with neighbours, not isolated), we recommend a 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 under 60 seconds. They come with a registered security key, which cannot be copied without authorisation at any hardware store. And they feature European certification EN1303, 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's warranty up to 10 years.
The price for changing cylinders in Argentona typically ranges between €54 and €350. The final figure depends on the property's condition, the materials, and the working time.
