What to check before hiring a locksmith

Don't force a stuck lock yourself — you risk worsening the problem and increasing the intervention cost
Verify that the locksmith you choose can issue an invoice and offers a work warranty
In case of a break-in, document everything and notify police before calling a locksmith
Change the lock or cylinder immediately after moving into a new home
Don't leave a key under the doormat or in other predictable spots — use a coded key safe
Invest in cylinders with security class 4-6 for main entry doors

Frequently Asked Questions

What warranty do I get for a newly installed lock?

Quality lock manufacturers offer 2-5 year product warranties. Installation labor is typically warranted 6-12 months by the locksmith. Make sure you receive the invoice and warranty documents.

How much does emergency door opening cost in Oituz?

Opening a door without damage typically costs 60–250 RON, depending on the lock type and time of call (higher rates at night or on weekends). If the lock must be forced and replaced, add the cost of a new lock (50-300 RON).

How quickly can a locksmith arrive in an emergency?

Most locksmiths in urban areas arrive within 20-45 minutes in emergencies. In less densely populated areas or at night, the wait can be 45-90 minutes. Provide the exact address and door type when you call.

Can a locksmith open a door without damaging it?

Yes, an experienced locksmith can open most residential doors without damage using picking or bypass techniques. High-security anti-burglary locks are harder to open non-destructively and may require more time.

Should I change the lock after moving in?

It is strongly recommended. You don't know how many keys exist from the previous set or who has them. Changing the lock (or at least the cylinder) immediately after moving is a basic safety measure that costs relatively little and ensures access is fully under your control.

What types of locks are recommended for maximum security?

Locks with cylinders in security class 5-6 (per EN 1303) offer high burglary resistance. Complement with a multipoint bolt lock and a deadbolt for optimal protection. Consult a locksmith for recommendations suited to your door type.
