Frequently Asked Questions

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.

How much does emergency door opening cost in Craiova?

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.
