Lock Cylinder (Barrel) Replacement in Konyaaltı

Moved into a new flat, changed tenants or lost a set of keys? You do not need a whole new lock. We replace the cylinder, the part the key goes into, so every old key stops working while the lock itself stays in the door.

When a new cylinder is the right fix

  • You have just moved in and have no idea how many keys the previous owner, tenants, estate agent or builders still hold.
  • You let out a flat or a holiday let, and the keys have passed through many hands over the season.
  • Keys were lost or stolen together with something that shows your address.
  • The key feels gritty or catches because the cylinder is worn or clogged with salt and damp.
  • A key snapped in the lock and damaged the pins.

If the lock itself is the problem, with a bolt that sticks or a damaged case, a cylinder will not help; that is a job for a lock change.

How we replace a cylinder

Cylinders come in different lengths, and the new one has to match the thickness of your door: too short and it will not reach, too long and it sticks out where it can be gripped. So we measure the existing cylinder first, then tell you the options and the price before taking anything apart.

The swap happens at the door and the lock body stays where it is. We test every new key with you, door open and closed, and hand all of them over. Need extra keys for family or a cleaner? Where the key profile allows, we can cut spares as well.

For holiday-let owners, a fresh cylinder at the start and end of the season is a simple way to be sure no former guest still has a working key.

Cylinder replacement: questions

Will the old keys stop working?

Yes. A new cylinder comes with its own set of keys, and the old ones no longer fit it, whoever has them.

Do I need a new cylinder after every guest?

Usually not. If keys change hands often, the start and end of the season are sensible moments to do it, and so is any time a key goes missing.

Can you fit a new cylinder in a steel door?

Yes. Steel doors take cylinders too; the new one has to match the thickness of the door and the type of lock, which we check before anything is removed.

How do I know which cylinder I have?

You do not need to know. Photos of the lock from both sides of the door, sent on WhatsApp, help us prepare; the exact size is measured at the door.
