Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We make copies and duplicates in Santa Coloma de Gramenet. We go to the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. When a customer calls us for an emergency (keys left inside, lost key, lock jammed), we first assess if non-destructive opening is possible. Most standard locks can be opened using professional techniques (lock picking, impressioning, pin manipulation) 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 like new with a new, reinforced security cylinder.

How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request a quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. We work directly with several holiday rental managers in the area, coordinating with them when a tenant is present, or accessing with the deposited key when the flat is empty. We send photos and videos of the problem before acting. We provide a fixed quote which the owner approves via WhatsApp. After the job, we send a written report with before-and-after photos. We invoice digitally. For many non-resident owners, this is the first time they can manage repairs at their Spanish home without taking a flight. We have verified professionals available in under 2 hours. Choose the service and request a quote.

When to call for copies and duplicates in Santa Coloma de Gramenet

Non-destructive opening when possible, full lock or cylinder replacement, installation of high-security anti-bumping cylinders. Replacing only the cylinder is an operation of 30-45 minutes per door. The existing lock mechanism remains, and we replace only the inner cylinder where the key fits. The new key is completely different and won't work 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 poor quality, and we want to take the opportunity to upgrade the security level. The operation takes 60-90 minutes per door. The typical customer from Torrevieja doesn't live here all year round. They have their main residence in Manchester, Lyon, Munich, or Stockholm. They use their apartment here for their own holidays or rent it out through a manager. When a breakdown occurs, they can't just hop on a flight for a dripping sink. They need someone who can enter the apartment, diagnose the problem, quote, and resolve it, without them having to organise everything from abroad.

Materials and brands

If the lock is in good condition, just the cylinder is the most economical. If it's old or low quality, a full replacement is a better investment. 30 days on labour. Premium cylinders with official manufacturer warranty up to 10 years. Replacement of the full lock or just the cylinder depending on the case. Quality brand and a new set of keys.

Indicative pricing

The price for copies and duplicates in Santa Coloma de Gramenet typically ranges between €50 and €385. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and time spent. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. For a property on the Costa Blanca with medium risk (an urbanisation with neighbours, not isolated), we recommend a mid-to-high quality anti-bumping cylinder. Brands like Tesa T80, Mottura Champions, or Cisa Astral are what we sell most. These cylinders have security pins that prevent the bumping technique, that sharp blow 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 any hardware store. They also have European EN1303 certification, guaranteeing resistance to manipulation for years. Their cost is reasonable, and the real security improvement is enormous. For apartments in blocks with neighbours, an active community, and natural surveillance, we recommend a mid-to-high security cylinder like the 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 a significant real improvement over the standard.
