Replacing only the cylinder takes 30-45 minutes per door. The mechanical lock body remains, and we replace only the interior 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 the one we recommend when the lock is of good quality and in good condition. Replacing the full lock costs more and is justified when the lock is old or of low quality, and we want to use the change to upgrade the security level. The operation takes 60-90 minutes per door. When a customer calls us for an emergency (keys left inside, lost key, locked-out situation), we first assess if non-destructive opening is possible. Most standard locks can be opened using professional techniques (lock picking, impressioning, bypass) in 15-30 minutes without damaging the cylinder. This saves the customer the cost of replacing the entire lock. 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 as new with a reinforced security cylinder. Every Monday, we address issues from flats that have been locked for three months. The problems here are not the same as in other cities.

Official manufacturer warranty 5-10 years depending on brand and model. Plus 30 days on labour. For detached houses, single-family homes in high-risk areas, or owners with previous experience of attempted break-ins, we recommend high-security cylinders like Cisa Astral S, Mul-T-Lock MT5+, Tesa T80 Plus, or Mottura Champions. These meet EN1303 grade 6, offering all protections (anti-bumping, anti-pick, anti-drill, anti-extraction). They come with the manufacturer's theft insurance warranty. This warranty is relevant: if despite everything, a break-in occurs and you can prove the cylinder was tampered with, the manufacturer covers part of the damage. All this investment in a security cylinder becomes pointless if key copies can be made freely at any local hardware store. The registered key for a security cylinder can only be duplicated at the manufacturer's official distributor, presenting the owner's card we provide upon installation. Without that card, no copies are possible. This means you control exactly how many keys exist and who has them. You'll never have the uncomfortable doubt of whether a local locksmith or a copy shop has kept a pattern of your key for future use.

The price for copies and duplicates in El Putxet i el Farró typically ranges from €50 to €385. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials used, and work time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. For apartments in blocks with neighbours, an active community, and natural surveillance, we recommend mid-to-high security cylinders like Tesa T80 or Cisa Astral. Effective anti-bumping, registered key (cannot be copied without your authorisation), EN1303 grade 5 certification (years of manipulation resistance). Reasonable cost and a significant real improvement over standard options. For a property on the Costa Blanca with medium risk (a residential area with neighbours, not isolated), we recommend a mid-to-high quality anti-bumping cylinder. Brands like Tesa T80, Mottura Champions, or Cisa Astral are our bestsellers. These cylinders have security pins that prevent the bumping technique, that sharp tap 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 just any hardware store. They also have European EN1303 certification, guaranteeing resistance to manipulation for years. Their cost is reasonable, and the improvement in real security is enormous.
