Cylinder replacement in Heerlen and the surrounding area
The cylinder is the part of the lock your key goes into, and often the weakest point of the door. Old cylinders without anti-snap protection can be broken by burglars in under a minute. An SKG*** cylinder resists far longer and is required by many insurers.
We replace cylinders after lost keys, after a break-in or attempt, after a move or simply because they are worn. On request we key all doors alike, so one key opens the front door, back door, shed and garage.

Questions about cylinder replacement
What's the difference between SKG** and SKG***?
Both are certified burglary resistant. SKG*** is the highest level, with anti-snap protection, and is often required by insurers and the Police Secure Housing standard.
Can all doors use one key?
Yes. We fit keyed-alike cylinders, so one key fits the front door, back door, shed and garage.
How long does replacement take?
Usually ten to fifteen minutes per cylinder. A whole house is usually done within an hour.
