Replacing just the cylinder takes 30-45 minutes per door. The mechanical lock stays in place, and we only replace the interior cylinder where the key fits. The new key will be completely different and won't work with the old one. It's the most economical option and what we recommend when the lock is good quality and in good condition. Changing the entire lock costs more and is justified when the lock is old or low quality, and we want to take the opportunity to upgrade the security level. The job takes 60-90 minutes per door. When a customer calls us for an emergency (keys left inside, lost key, lock jammed), we first assess if damage-free opening is possible. Most standard locks can be opened using professional techniques (lock picking, impressioning, bolt manipulation) within 15-30 minutes without damaging the cylinder. This saves the customer the cost of replacing the entire cylinder. For high-end anti-bumping cylinders, damage-free opening might 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 reinforced security cylinder.

Manufacturer's official 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 such as Cisa Astral S, Mul-T-Lock MT5+, Tesa T80 Plus, or Mottura Champions. These offer EN1303 grade 6 security, include all anti-tamper features (bumping, picking, drilling, extraction). They come with the manufacturer's burglary insurance warranty. This warranty is significant. If a break-in occurs despite these measures 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 freely made at any hardware store. The registered key for a security cylinder can only be duplicated at the manufacturer's official dealer by presenting the owner's card issued upon installation. Without this card, no copies can be made. This means you have exact control over how many keys exist and who has them. You'll never have to worry that a local locksmith or key-cutting service might have kept a copy of your key pattern for future use.

The price for copies and duplicates in Sant Pere de Ribes typically ranges from €50 to €385. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials used, and the time taken. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. For apartments in buildings 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 resistance to tampering). Reasonable cost and a significant real improvement over standard options. For a property on the Costa Blanca with medium risk (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 – a sharp tap with a special key that can open any standard cylinder in under 60 seconds. They come with a registered security key, which cannot be copied without authorisation at any hardware store. They also hold European EN1303 certification, guaranteeing years of resistance to manipulation. Their cost is reasonable, and the actual security improvement is substantial.
