We accurately measure the existing opening, identify the type of glass to be replaced (tempered, laminated, Climalit), and check the fixing system to the frame (silicone, PVC profile, neoprene gasket) to ensure the replacement is identical to the original. We provide a fixed quote during the same visit. For all passageways and heights under 90cm: safety tempered or laminated glass. Spanish CTE regulations. If the original was single-pane, it must be upgraded to safety glass.

The most common causes we see are three. First, strong wind closing a sliding door with such force that it hits the frame and cracks the tempered glass. This especially happens in areas with strong westerly or easterly winds like La Mata, Punta Prima, or Pilar de la Horadada when doors are left slightly ajar. Second, children's balls or accidental knocks against window panes on the ground floor or terrace. Third, attempted burglaries where the thief breaks the balcony door glass to get in, which is relatively rare in the area but does occur. Tempered glass is the standard for balcony doors, large windows, and areas with impact risk. Its distinguishing feature is that when it breaks, it shatters into thousands of small, blunt fragments that do not cause serious cuts, unlike conventional glass which breaks into large, sharp shards. Spanish regulations (CTE) require tempered or safety laminated glass in all passageways and at heights below 90cm. If your broken glass was standard single-pane, we must replace it with tempered glass to comply with regulations. The correct procedure when glass breaks has three steps. First, immediately remove all loose fragments to prevent accidents, which is especially important with children or pets at home. Second, temporarily cover the opening with thick plastic sheeting or a board if the area is accessible from the outside and there's a risk of intrusion. Third, call the glazier as soon as possible for measurement and replacement. The urgency depends on whether the area is watertight. A window facing an internal courtyard can wait 2-3 days without issue. An external balcony or window with a risk of rain ingress or burglary needs urgent replacement.

Official manufacturer warranty 5-10 years depending on brand and model. Plus 30 days on labour. All that 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 by presenting the owner's card we provide upon installation. Without this card, no copies can be made. This means you have exact control over how many keys exist and who possesses them. You'll never have the uncomfortable doubt of whether the local locksmith or a duplicator has kept a copy of your key pattern for future use. For detached houses, individual homes in at-risk areas, or owners with previous experience of attempted burglaries, we recommend high-security cylinders like Cisa Astral S, Mul-T-Lock MT5+, Tesa T80 Plus, or Mottura Champions. These meet EN1303 grade 6 standards, include all anti-tampering features (bumping, picking, drilling, extraction). They come with the manufacturer's theft insurance guarantee. This guarantee is significant. If, despite everything, an intrusion occurs and you can prove the cylinder was tampered with, the manufacturer covers part of the damage.

The price for security doors in La Palma de Cervelló typically ranges between €52 and €390 as a guideline. The final cost depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time, and we always finalise it after seeing photos or —if you prefer— after an on-site inspection, with no obligation. In the area, the market average for similar work is around €130; we are usually below this when the property's condition allows. For apartments in buildings with neighbours, an active community, and natural surveillance, we recommend medium-high security cylinders like Tesa T80 or Cisa Astral. Effective anti-bumping, registered key (cannot be copied without your authorisation), EN1303 grade 5 certification (long-term resistance to manipulation). Reasonable cost and a significant, real improvement over the standard. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request a quote online. We'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours.
