Lock cylinder replacement in Pilar de la Horadada

In Pilar de la Horadada the cylinder wears out for different reasons depending on where the house is. In the village, from many years of daily use. On the coast, from the sea air. And in the inland villas, because there are so many doors that nobody remembers which key opens which. We are locksmiths from Torrevieja, about twenty-five kilometres away, and we change lock cylinders throughout the municipality.

The village: cylinders that have lasted a lifetime

The houses and flats in the centre of Pilar are used every day of the year. A cylinder that is opened and locked several times a day for decades ends up with play in it: the key wobbles, you have to find the right spot for it to turn, or it gets caught. That is the time to change it, not once the key has already snapped inside. And if you have lost keys over the years and do not know where they ended up, all the more reason.

The coast: salt air in Torre de la Horadada and Mil Palmeras

In the apartments and bungalows of Torre de la Horadada and Mil Palmeras, close to the sea, salt dirties the cylinder inside. If the house is also shut up for months, it is easy to find the key stiff when you come back. For these doors we recommend a well measured security cylinder that does not stick out, because an empty ground floor home in winter is exactly the kind of property most worth protecting.

Pinar de Campoverde: lots of doors, one key

The villas in Pinar de Campoverde usually have a front door, a terrace door, a garage and sometimes an outbuilding. If you change the cylinders at the same time, they can all be fitted on the same key. We explain this in keyed alike cylinders. If it is easier for you, message us on WhatsApp in your language.

Buying in any of the three

Whether it is a flat in the village, a seafront apartment or a villa among the pines, when you buy a resale home you do not know how many copies of the key are still around. The advisable thing is to change the cylinder the same day you are handed the keys. If the property was let, the change is made once the tenant has left; never on a tenant who is still living there.

How we do it

1. You send us a photo of the cylinder from outside and another of the edge of the door.
2. We suggest the right cylinder, from a standard one to a security one, and give you a fixed quote with the cylinder included.
3. At your door we check the exact size before fitting it.
4. We test every lock from inside and outside and hand you the keys.

If the size or the job changes, we tell you before carrying on. You can pay by card, Bizum or cash. You will find more detail in lock cylinder replacement and everything we do in the municipality in locksmith in Pilar de la Horadada.
