How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp or request your quote online — we'll reply in less than 10 minutes during business hours. We start with a measurement visit. We precisely measure the existing opening, identify the type of glass to be replaced (tempered, laminated, Climalit), and verify the fixing system to the frame (silicone, PVC profile, neoprene gasket) to ensure the replacement is identical to the original. We provide a fixed quote during the same visit. Call us, message us on WhatsApp or request your quote online — we'll reply in less than 10 minutes during business hours.

When to call for lock cylinder change in El Putxet i el Farró

The most frequent causes we see are three. First, strong wind closing a sliding door with such force that it hits the frame and cracks the tempered glass. This happens especially in areas with strong west or east winds like La Mata, Punta Prima or Pilar de la Horadada when doors are left improperly closed. Second, children's balls or accidental impacts against window panes on the ground floor or terrace. Third, attempted burglaries where the thief breaks the balcony door glass to enter, which is relatively rare in the area but does occur. The correct protocol when glass breaks has three steps. First, immediately remove all loose fragments to prevent accidents, which is especially important with children or pets at home. Second, provisionally cover with a thick plastic sheet or board if the area is accessible from the outside and there is a risk of intrusion. And third, call the glazier as soon as possible for measurement and replacement. The urgency depends on whether the area is watertight or not. A window facing an interior patio can wait 2-3 days without problems. A balcony door or exterior window with a risk of incoming rain or theft needs urgent replacement. Tempered glass is the standard for balcony doors, large windows, and areas at risk of impact. Its distinctive feature is that when it breaks, it shatters into thousands of small, blunt fragments that do not cause severe cuts, instead of large, sharp fragments like conventional glass. Spanish regulations (CTE) require tempered or laminated safety glass in all passage areas and at heights below 90 cm. If your broken glass was simple conventional glass, we will replace it with tempered glass as required by regulations.

Materials and brands

For isolated villas, detached houses 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 raise the grade 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 gain entry and you can prove the cylinder was tampered with, the manufacturer covers part of the damage. All this 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 is only duplicated by the official manufacturer's distributor upon presentation of the owner's card that we provide during installation. Without this 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 copy shop has kept your key's pattern for future use. Official manufacturer's warranty 5-10 years depending on brand and model. Plus 30 days on labour.

Indicative pricing

The price for changing lock cylinders in El Putxet i el Farró typically ranges between €54 and €350. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. For apartments in blocks with neighbours, an active community, and natural surveillance, we recommend medium-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 reply in less than 10 minutes during business hours.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to custom-make a mirror?
5-10 days from measurement. Special mirrors with bevelled or backlighting: 10-15 days. Quick installation once manufactured.
Is anti-humidity treatment mandatory in a bathroom?
Highly recommended. Conventional mirrors deteriorate in 2-3 years in a bathroom with normal use. Anti-humidity lasts 15-20 years with a good appearance.
Are LED backlit mirrors reliable?
Yes, with correct installation. Quality LEDs last 25. We recommend an accessible external transformer for eventual maintenance.
What shapes can be made?
Any shape. Rectangular, circular, oval, irregular. Up to 3 metres without joins. From a client's sketch or our proposal.
Do you work with antique mirrors for restoration?
Old mirrors with back stains (damaged silvering) are not restorable. We recommend replacing with a new one of the same format. Old frames can be preserved and reused.
