Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We make copies and duplicates in El Coll. We visit the property, assess the job, provide a clear price, and then start. Changing only the cylinder takes 30-45 minutes 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 work with the old one. This is 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.

When to call for copies & duplicates in El Coll

Non-destructive opening where possible, complete lock or cylinder replacement, installation of high-security anti-bumping cylinders. When a client calls us for an emergency (keys left inside, lost key, locked door), we first assess if non-destructive opening is possible. Most standard locks can be opened using 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 opening may not be possible, and the only solution is to drill 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 detached villas, single-family homes in affected areas, or owners with previous experience of attempted burglary, we recommend high-security cylinders like Cisa Astral S, Mul-T-Lock MT5+, Tesa T80 Plus, or Mottura Champions. These raise the rating to EN1303 grade 6, adding all anti-features (bumping, picking, drilling, extraction). They come with a manufacturer's theft insurance guarantee. This guarantee is relevant. If a break-in still occurs and you can prove the cylinder was tampered with, the manufacturer covers part of the damage. Official manufacturer's warranty 5-10 years depending on brand and model. Plus 30 days on labour. All this investment in a security cylinder loses meaning if key copies are freely made at any local hardware store. The registered key of a security cylinder can only be duplicated at the manufacturer's official distributor by presenting the owner's card we provide during installation. Without that card, no copy is possible. This means you control exactly how many keys exist and who has them. You will never have the uncomfortable doubt of whether the local locksmith or a copier has kept the pattern of your key for future use.

Indicative pricing

The price for copies and duplicates in El Coll usually ranges between €50 and €385. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. For apartments in blocks with neighbours, an active community, and natural surveillance, we recommend a medium-high security cylinder like Tesa T80 or Cisa Astral. Effective anti-bumping, registered key (cannot be copied without your authorisation), EN1303 grade 5 certification (resistance to manipulation for years). Reasonable cost and significant real improvement compared to standard. For a home on the Costa Blanca with medium risk (urbanisation with neighbours, not isolated), we recommend a medium-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, that sharp blow 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 real security improvement is enormous.
