When to call for cylinder changes in Vilassar de Mar

Changing just the cylinder is a 30-45 minute operation per door. The mechanical lock remains in place, 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. Non-destructive opening when possible, complete lock or cylinder replacement, installation of high-security anti-bumping cylinders. When a client calls us for an emergency (keys left inside, key lost, lock jammed), 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 the cylinder and replace it, which is more expensive but leaves the door like new with a new reinforced security cylinder.

Materials and brands

For a home on the Costa Blanca with medium risk (a development 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 bumping, a 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 European EN1303 certification, ensuring resistance to tampering 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. Complete lock change or just the cylinder, depending on the case. Quality brand and a new set of keys.

How long does it take to change a cylinder?
30-45 minutes per door for standard replacement. Full lock change: 60-90 minutes.

Copies can only be made by an official distributor with your authorisation, by presenting your owner's card. It's impossible to copy without your consent. Recommended for all security cylinders.

Tesa T80, Mottura Champions or Cisa Astral for mid-to-high range. For high security: Cisa Astral S, Mul-T-Lock Junior or Tesa T80 Plus.
