When to Call for Cylinder Lock Changes in El Gòtic

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 security. The operation takes 60-90 minutes per door. When a client calls us for an emergency (keys left inside, lost key, jammed lock), 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 the cylinder and replace it, which is more expensive but leaves the door like new with a new reinforced security cylinder. Examples: water leak • power cut • air conditioning not cooling • stuck blind • painting…

Materials and Brands

30 days on labour. Premium cylinders with official manufacturer's warranty up to 10 years. Full lock change or just the cylinder, depending on the case. Quality brand and new set of keys. For a home on the Costa Blanca with medium risk (urbanisation with neighbours, not isolated), we recommend a medium-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 dry strike 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 EN1303 European certification, which guarantees resistance to manipulation for years. Their cost is reasonable and the real security improvement is enormous.

Frequently asked questions

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

What does a registered key mean?
Copies can only be made by an official distributor with your authorisation, by 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.
Do you cover 24h emergencies?
Yes, in main coastal areas. Urgent opening day and night with a maximum lead time of 2-3 hours during night-time or holidays.
