Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Does the locksmith also work with safes?

Yes, many locksmiths also work with safes — opening in case of a forgotten combination, changing the combination, installing a safe in a wall or floor. It's a separate specialty; check that your chosen locksmith has experience with your type of safe.

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.
