Lock and cylinder change in Villajoyosa
If you have lost your keys, had them stolen, are moving in or changing tenants, the quickest way to feel safe again is to change the cylinder. We come to you for any lock change in Villajoyosa, and we also fit security locks to reinforce your door.
When you call, we tell you how long we will take. We speak Spanish and English.
When to change the cylinder
- Lost or stolen keys, especially if they were with something showing where you live.
- Moving in, or changing tenants in a rental or a holiday let.
- A stiff or sticking key. By the sea, salt air wears the cylinder over the years.
- A snapped key inside, or someone tried to force the lock.
- A cylinder that sticks out of the door: it is easier to snap, so a made-to-measure one with a guard plate is better.
Security locks
To reinforce a door we combine several parts: a security cylinder protected against bumping, picking, drilling and snapping, a guard plate that covers it on the outside and, if needed, an extra deadbolt. On reinforced doors, the multi-point lock. We explain what makes sense for your door.
We measure the cylinder so the new one sits flush with the door.
How we work
You call us
Tell us where you are (street, urbanisation or building) and what happened: whether the door slammed shut or is locked, whether it is a reinforced door, or whether the key snapped inside.
We set off
We tell you how long we will take and bring the right tools for your door, car or safe.
We sort it out
Before touching anything we explain what we are going to do. We always try to open without damage and, if a part has to be replaced, we tell you first.
Lock change in Villajoyosa: frequently asked questions
Should I change the cylinder or the whole lock?
The cylinder is usually enough: it is the part the key goes into. The whole lock is changed when the mechanism is broken or you want a higher security level.
What is an anti-bump cylinder?
A cylinder protected against "bumping", a technique for opening locks without forcing them. Older cylinders usually lack it.
Will my old keys still work?
No. With a new cylinder you get new keys and the old ones stop working, which is the point if they were lost.
Shall we change your cylinder?
Tell us what happened and where you are. We tell you how long we will take and set off.
