What the doors are like
Villas and bungalows with several doors —entrance, solarium, gallery— and multipoint locks fitted by the developer.
Whenever the door and lock allow, in Orihuela Costa we prioritise non-destructive techniques. On villas with multipoint locks it is not always possible, and we explain it clearly.

Plenty of holiday lets: cylinder changes between tenants in season and reports of empty homes in winter.
Homes closed for half the year need a high-security cylinder with an escutcheon, which is what most deters a silent break-in.
The most favourable case: a damage-free opening almost guaranteed.
Cylinder and escutcheon come into play; sometimes a fine opening, sometimes a cylinder change.
If there is a choice, we explain each option with its cost. You decide.
No honest locksmith promises «always without damage», least of all on urbanisations full of multipoint locks and developer security cylinders. The professional way is to prioritise the clean technique and explain the options.
Porch doors and slammed doors usually open damage-free. With a multipoint locked home or a high-security cylinder, sometimes it makes sense to replace the cylinder (a cheap part) and keep the door and lock.
Almost always just the cylinder, which we replace on the spot. The multipoint lock is kept. See door opening cost.
We work the developer brands in the area and source spares. See lock replacement in Orihuela Costa.
