Euro cylinder change
The cylinder is the barrel the key goes into. Changing it is the quickest and cheapest way to cancel keys you have lost or no longer trust: only that part is replaced, and the lock and door stay put. On a standard cylinder it is a job of minutes.
What is included

Frequently asked questions
Is changing the cylinder the same as changing the lock?
No. The cylinder is only the barrel the key goes into. The lock is the whole mechanism. If the problem is the keys, the cylinder is nearly always enough — and it is considerably cheaper.
What is bumping?
An opening technique using a modified key and a sharp tap, which opens basic cylinders in seconds and leaves no mark. An anti-bump cylinder blocks it.
Can I have the same cylinder on several doors?
Yes, it is called master keying: one key opens the main entrance, the storage room and your flat. It is common in apartment blocks.
