When a client calls us for an emergency (keys left inside, lost key, jammed lock), we first evaluate if non-destructive opening is possible. Most standard locks can be opened using professional techniques (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 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 new reinforced security cylinder. Changing only the cylinder is a 30-45 minute operation per door. The mechanical lock remains, and we only replace the internal 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 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. Non-destructive opening when possible, complete lock or cylinder replacement, installation of high-security anti-bumping cylinders.

If the lock is in good condition, only replacing the cylinder is the most economical option. If it's old or low quality, a full lock change is a better investment. For a home on the Costa Blanca with medium risk (urbanisation with neighbours, not isolated), we recommend an anti-bumping cylinder of medium-high quality. 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 tap 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. They also have EN1303 European certification, 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.
