Typically, replacing a lock takes about 15-30 minutes. However, the exact time depends on the type of lock and the complexity of the situation.

The standard service includes diagnostics, selection of a suitable lock, removal of the old mechanism, and installation of a new one. We also offer emergency on-site assistance and key duplication.

For reliable security, it’s best to choose locks with a high burglar resistance rating (e.g., Class A or B). It’s important to consider the cylinder type (usually lever or cylinder mechanisms are preferable), the presence of a protective escutcheon, and the number of key turns.

Don’t try to remove the broken key yourself, as this could damage the mechanism. It’s best to call a professional locksmith who will carefully remove the broken key and replace the faulty lock if necessary.
