6 mm is standard for residential showers. 8 mm for large fixed surfaces, very tall walls, or when a premium look with a robust feel is desired. Laminated glass, consisting of two panes joined by an inner transparent PVB layer, is the premium option for doors and windows at risk of burglary. When it breaks, the fragments remain adhered to the PVB layer, and the window maintains significant residual resistance. This is what we recommend for accessible ground floors or isolated chalets with a high risk of intrusion. Tempered glass is the standard for balcony doors, large windows, and areas at risk of impact. Its distinctive feature is that when it breaks, it shatters into thousands of small, blunt fragments that do not cause serious cuts, rather than large, sharp fragments like conventional glass. Spanish regulations (CTE) require tempered or laminated safety glass in all passageways and at heights below 90 cm. If your broken glass was conventional single pane, we are legally obliged to replace it with tempered glass to comply with regulations.

All that investment in a security cylinder loses its meaning if key copies can be made freely at any local hardware store. The registered key of a security cylinder can only be duplicated at the manufacturer's official distributor upon presentation of the owner's card we provide during installation. Without this card, no copy is possible. This means you control exactly how many keys exist and who has them. You will never have the uneasy doubt of whether the local locksmith or a duplicator might have kept your key pattern for future use. For isolated chalets, detached houses in high-incidence areas, or owners with previous experience of attempted burglaries, we recommend high-security cylinders such as Cisa Astral S, Mul-T-Lock MT5+, Tesa T80 Plus, or Mottura Champions. These upgrade the rating to EN1303 grade 6 and add all protective features (anti-bumping, anti-picking, anti-drilling, anti-extraction). They come with a manufacturer's burglary insurance guarantee. This guarantee is relevant. If, despite everything, an intrusion occurs and you can prove the cylinder was tampered with, the manufacturer covers part of the damage. Official manufacturer's warranty of 5-10 years depending on brand and model. Plus 30 days on labour.

The price of security locks in La Vila Olímpica del Poblenou typically ranges from 53 to 510 euros. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting work. For apartments in blocks with neighbours, an active community, and natural surveillance, we recommend medium-high security cylinders like Tesa T80 or Cisa Astral. These offer effective anti-bumping, a registered key (cannot be copied without your authorisation), and EN1303 grade 5 certification (resistance to manipulation for years). This provides a reasonable cost and significant real improvement over standard options. 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 fastening system to the frame (silicone, PVC profile, neoprene gasket) to ensure the replacement is identical to the original. We provide a fixed quote during the same visit.
