What to check before hiring a locksmith

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
Complement the security system with a deadbolt and side bolts for effective anti-burglary protection
Keep a spare key with a trusted person for emergency situations

Frequently Asked Questions

Can any key be duplicated?

Most simple keys (for standard locks) can be copied quickly. Patent-protected keys (Mul-T-Lock, EVVA, Medeco) cannot be duplicated without special authorization and an access card — an important additional security measure.

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 Plopșoru work at night or on weekends?

Many locksmiths in Plopșoru 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.
