When to call for cylinder replacement in Rubí

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. The operation takes 60-90 minutes per door. When a client calls us for an emergency (keys left inside, lost key, blocked lock), we first assess if 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 out and replace the cylinder, 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

Replacement of the complete lock or just the cylinder as appropriate. Quality brand and a new set of keys. 30 days on labour. Premium cylinders come with an official manufacturer's warranty of up to 10 years. 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, a sharp tap 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 European EN1303 certification, which guarantees resistance to manipulation for years. Their cost is reasonable, and the actual security improvement is enormous.
