Euro cylinder change in Tarragona

Changing the cylinder is the sensible answer to lost keys, a move, or a tenant leaving: the turning part is replaced, not the whole lock, and it costs a good deal less. It is a half-hour job and it is almost always done on the spot.

When to message us

  • You have lost a set of keys, or they were stolen with your address on them
  • A tenant is leaving and the next one is moving in
  • You have just bought or rented and do not know who else has a key
  • A cleaner, a builder or an ex-partner still has a copy
  • The key has started catching and you want it done before it fails

What moves the price

  • The security level of the cylinder you choose
  • Whether it is booked or needed the same night
  • Whether the door has more than one lock
  • Whether a security escutcheon is fitted at the same time

How the job is done

  1. 1

    Measure the cylinder

    A photo of the key and of the lock edge is usually enough for us to bring the right one first time.

  2. 2

    Choose the level

    Standard, anti-bump or high security. We tell you what your door actually needs — quite often the cheapest one is the honest answer.

  3. 3

    Fitted in about half an hour

    The rest of the lock stays. Only the turning part is replaced, which is why it costs a fraction of a full lock change.

  4. 4

    You get the new keys and the old cylinder

    All of them, counted. If you are a tenant, keep the old cylinder to put back when you leave.

What Tarragona is actually like to work in

A lot of renting, and cylinders that change hands

24 % of the main homes in Tarragona are rented, against a 18.5 % median. Where there is a lot of renting the most repeated job is not an emergency at all: it is the cylinder change between one tenant and the next, booked in advance and done in half an hour. It always brings the same question, so here it is. The owner can ask for it once the property is free. The tenant can change it during the contract, but has to leave the lock as it was — or hand over a copy — when they go. And for an opening, a rental contract in your name is perfectly good proof of address.

More tourist beds than residents

Tarragona registers 2,264 hotel beds for 143,260 registered residents, where the median across our towns is 304. The place fills with people who do not live here, and a good share of the summer callouts are exactly that: holiday flats where the key belongs to an owner nobody can reach, doors that shut themselves with the luggage inside, hire cars with the keys still in them. In those cases the lock is not the first question — the first question is who is entitled to have it opened, because without that nobody touches the door.

Less car-dependent than most

Tarragona has 443 cars per thousand residents, below the 461 median. We do open vehicles, but the bulk of the work here is in the home and the communal entrance rather than the car park.

Euro cylinder change in Tarragona: common questions

How long will you take to get to Tarragona?

40-60 min from our base in Cubelles, worked out over the real road routes with room to set off and for traffic. At rush hour or in August it can run longer — and if it is going to, we tell you on WhatsApp before you commit rather than when we arrive.

How much is euro cylinder change in Tarragona?

From 99 €, VAT included. The final amount depends on the hour, the day and the type of lock, and you get it in full on WhatsApp before anyone sets off. The distance to Tarragona is not added to the price — the rate is the same across all the towns we cover.

What if it turns out nothing needs doing?

A call-out with diagnosis and no work done is 49 €, and you are told that before anyone leaves, so there is no surprise at the end. If the problem can be solved over WhatsApp, we solve it over WhatsApp and it costs nothing.

Do you come out at night and on public holidays?

Yes, 24 hours a year round. The night and holiday rates are higher than a Tuesday morning, and you are told which one applies when you message. There is no hidden surcharge.

I am staying in a holiday flat in Tarragona. Can you open it?

Only with the owner or the agency behind it — a booking confirmation is not the same as being entitled to have a lock opened, and no locksmith working legally can treat it as such. Send us the booking and the contact and we deal with them directly; it is usually one message. If the flat is managed by an agency they nearly always answer faster than you would expect, because it is their lock.

I rent in Tarragona. Can I change the lock myself?

You can change it during the contract, but you have to leave the lock as it was — or hand over a copy — when you move out. The owner can have it changed once the property is free. If you have lost your keys and the landlord is not reachable, changing the cylinder and keeping the old one to hand back is the usual way through, and it is the cheaper option too.
