FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a bit-key lock?

It's a traditional locking system operated with a bit key (or warded key), different from lever/mortice keys and euro-profile cylinders. It's common on older doors in homes, residents' associations and some shops.

Is it better to repair it, replace it, or convert it to euro-profile?

It depends on your door. If the bit-key lock works well, repairing it may be enough. If you're after more security or a modern cylinder, we assess whether your door allows conversion to euro-profile.

Do all doors support conversion to euro-profile?

Not all of them. It depends on the door and the type of lock installed — we check this before recommending the change.

How much does it cost?

It depends on whether it's a repair, replacement or conversion. No-obligation quote before starting.

Do you issue an invoice?

Yes, we issue an invoice for the service.
