Why change the lock when you move into a flat
When you rent or buy a flat in Barcelona you do not know who still has a copy: previous tenants, agencies, builders from a renovation. Changing the cylinder is the simplest way to start with keys that only you have.
If the current cylinder is old, we can suggest one with anti-bumping and anti-extraction protection that suits your door. You can see what to look for in how to choose a certified cylinder.
Cylinder, lock or escutcheon: what we change
- Just the cylinder, if the lock is fine and you want to cancel the old keys.
- The whole lock, if the mechanism is worn, has been forced or the door does not close properly.
- A security escutcheon, if the cylinder sticks out and is exposed. More information in security escutcheons.
Before fitting anything we explain the proposed part and the quote, which is free. We do not publish generic prices because every door is different.
After a burglary or attempted burglary
If someone has forced the door, the first thing is to leave it securely closed. We change the damaged cylinder or lock and check the frame and the escutcheon. We handle emergencies 24 hours a day, holidays included.
Key copy control
With some security cylinders, copies can only be made by presenting an ownership card. That way you know how many keys exist. If you are locked out, see door opening in Barcelona.
Invoice and guarantee
Labour is guaranteed and materials carry the manufacturer's guarantee. We email you a VAT invoice. More information about the area on locksmith in Barcelona.
