Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if someone broke in and my key no longer works?

If the lock was forced or tampered with, call an emergency locksmith for assessment and replacement. Document and photograph any signs of forced entry for the police file. Don't force the lock yourself if it's damaged.

Does the locksmith in Alba Iulia work at night or on weekends?

Many locksmiths in Alba Iulia offer emergency services 24/7, including at night and on weekends. Night or out-of-hours rates are usually 30-80% higher than the standard rate. Specify the urgency when posting on SmallJobs.

Can a locksmith repair a faulty lock without replacing it?

Sometimes yes — a stiff lock, one with a difficult-to-insert key, or a worn mechanism can be adjusted or lubricated. If the internal mechanism is broken or the cylinder has been forced, replacement is unavoidable. The locksmith will assess the situation on site.

How much does a quality door cylinder cost?

A standard cylinder (security class 1-2) costs 30-80 RON. A mid-range cylinder (class 3-4) costs 100-250 RON. Premium anti-burglary cylinders (class 5-6, with patent-protected key) reach 300-800 RON or more.

Can I install a new lock myself?

Cylinder replacement can be done fairly easily with a screwdriver if you have some experience. Installing a multipoint lock or a deadbolt with a complex attachment system requires technical knowledge and appropriate tools — a professional locksmith is recommended.

What is a master key system?

A master key system allows multiple doors to be opened with a single master key, while each door retains its own key. It's used in hotels, offices, or residential buildings with multiple apartments. Installation requires a specialized locksmith.
