We begin 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) so that the replacement is identical to the original. We provide a fixed quote during the same visit. Tempered glass is the standard for balcony doors, large windows, and areas at risk of impact. Its distinctive characteristic is that when it breaks, it shatters into thousands of small, blunt fragments that do not cause serious 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 are obligated to replace it with tempered glass to comply with regulations. 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 waterproof or not. A window facing an interior patio can wait 2-3 days without problems. A balcony door or exterior window at risk of rain ingress or theft needs urgent replacement.

The sliding screen with two overlapping leaves is the best-selling option for medium-sized showers. When opened, one leaf slides behind the other, saving interior and exterior space compared to a hinged screen. We work with premium systems featuring silent ceramic bearings that last 15-20 years of intensive use without issue. The folding screen with three or four leaves that fold accordion-style is the option for very small bathrooms where space is critical. It barely takes up 12-15 cm of depth when folded. Aesthetically, it is less clean than a sliding screen due to the multiple visible joints, but functionally, it is the only option in some cases. Climalit double glazing is the standard for thermal and acoustic insulation in modern construction. Two panes of glass separated by a dehydrated air chamber and sealed at the perimeter. If one pane of Climalit breaks, the entire unit must be replaced because the air chamber becomes contaminated with humidity and loses its insulating function. Replacement is slightly more expensive, but technically the only correct solution.

The correct installation is what separates a screen that lasts 15 years from one that leaks in 2-3. We always anchor to the floor and wall with specific screws suitable for the material: chemical anchors for concrete, plasterboard plugs if the interior wall is dry. We completely seal with neutral fungicidal silicone specifically for wet areas. And we perform a watertightness test with running water for 10-15 minutes before considering the job finished. Glass with official manufacturer's warranty of 5 years. Hardware with 2-3 years warranty. Plus 30 days on installation. Glass with official manufacturer's warranty (5 years for defects) plus our coverage on installation.

The price for replacing cylinder locks in Porta typically ranges between €54 and €350. The final figure depends on the condition of the property, the materials, and the working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Call us, send us a WhatsApp message, or request your quote online — we'll respond in less than 10 minutes during business hours. When a client calls us for an emergency (keys left inside, lost key, locked mechanism), we first assess if non-destructive entry is possible. Most standard locks can be opened with professional techniques (picking, impression 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 entry may not be possible, and the only solution is to drill out the cylinder and replace it, which is more expensive but leaves the door as new with a new, reinforced security cylinder.
