When to call for cylinder changes in Vallbona

Changing only the cylinder is an operation that takes 30-45 minutes per door. The mechanical lock remains, and we only replace the internal cylinder where the key fits. The new key is completely different and won't open with the old key. This is the most economical option and the one 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 increase the security level. This operation takes 60-90 minutes per door. When a client calls us for an emergency (keys left inside, lost key, jammed lock), we first assess if non-destructive entry is possible. Most standard locks can be opened with 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 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. Examples: water leak • power outage • AC not cooling • stuck blind • painting…

Materials and brands

30 days on labour. Premium cylinders with official manufacturer's warranty up to 10 years. Full lock replacement or just the cylinder, depending on the case. Quality brand and a new set of keys. 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 blow 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 locksmith. They also have EN1303 European certification, guaranteeing resistance to tampering for years. Their cost is reasonable, and the real security improvement is enormous.
