The typical Saturday night call from Cabo Roig. You've gone out for dinner, left your handbag with the keys inside, and the door slammed shut in the wind. You're on the street with the intercom unresponsive. The insurer covers the opening, but their technician will only arrive at four in the afternoon on Monday, not now. That's what happens to us most often: urgent openings at inconvenient times when the insurer isn't available. Glazing: replacement of broken glass in windows, balcony doors and communal doors. Tempered and laminated safety glass according to regulations, decorative glass for shower screens. We work with Climalit double glazing when a complete pane needs replacing due to accidental impact or faulty closure. When a client calls us for an emergency (keys left inside, lost key, blocked lock), we first assess if a non-destructive opening is possible. Most standard locks can be opened with professional techniques (lock picking, impressioning key, 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 opening 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 reinforced security cylinder.

Non-destructive door opening, 80-140 euros during daytime hours, 140-240 euros at night or on holidays. Standard cylinder change for a high-security anti-bumping one, 90-160 euros installed. Full lock replacement, 180-340 euros depending on brand and model. Multi-point security lock for a villa, 380-650 euros installed. If the lock is in good condition, only replacing the cylinder is the most economical. If it's old or low quality, a full lock change is a better investment. 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 won't open with the old one. It's the most economical option and what 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.

The price for changing lock cylinders in Hostafrancs typically ranges between 54 and 350 euros. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. For a home on the Costa Blanca with medium risk (urbanisation with neighbours, not isolated), we recommend a medium-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 knock 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 have EN1303 European certification, guaranteeing resistance to manipulation for years. Their cost is reasonable, and the real security improvement is enormous. The price depends on the service and complexity. We will send you a clear, no-obligation quote before any intervention.
