We make copies and duplicates in El Fort Pienc. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and then begin. When a client calls us for an emergency (keys left inside, lost key, blocked lock), we first evaluate if non-destructive entry 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 entry may not be possible, and the only solution is to drill the cylinder and replace it. This is more expensive but leaves the door like new with a new, reinforced security cylinder.

Premium brands (Cisa Astral S, Mul-T-Lock) include insurance guarantee against proven manipulation. Partial damage coverage according to terms and conditions.
Changing only the cylinder is a 30-45 minute operation per door. The mechanical lock remains, and we only replace the internal cylinder where the key fits. The new key is completely different and will not work with the old one. 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 you want to use the change to upgrade the security level. This operation takes 60-90 minutes per door. Non-destructive entry when possible, complete lock or cylinder replacement, installation of high-security anti-bumping cylinders. Yes, any door with a standard cylindrical lock can be replaced with a security cylinder of the same dimensions.
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 by presenting the owner's card that we provide upon 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 copyist has kept your key's pattern for future use. For isolated villas, detached houses in areas with incidents, or owners with previous experience of attempted burglary, we recommend a high-security cylinder such as Cisa Astral S, Mul-T-Lock MT5+, Tesa T80 Plus or Mottura Champions. These raise the grade to EN1303 grade 6, adding all anti-features (bumping, picking, drilling, extraction). They come with a manufacturer's burglary insurance guarantee. This guarantee is relevant. If, despite everything, entry is gained and you can prove the cylinder was manipulated, the manufacturer covers part of the damage. Official manufacturer's warranty 5-10 years depending on brand and model. Plus 30 days on labour.
The price for copies and duplicates in El Fort Pienc typically ranges from 50 to 385 euros. The final figure 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 such as 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 over the 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 – 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 real security improvement is enormous.
