What is the Difference between Cylinder Change and Lock Change?
It is common to confuse cylinder change (or barrel, sometimes called drum) with complete lock change. Cylinder change only involves replacing the internal part of the mechanism, the one connected to the key. This allows you to get a new set of keys while keeping the same locking mechanism on the door. It is a practical and generally less expensive solution if you want to change your keys without replacing the entire lock.
On the other hand, lock change refers to the complete replacement of the entire locking device fixed on the door. This process includes installing a new complete lock, whether mortise or surface-mounted, and may include high-security models with 3 to 9 locking points. Complete lock replacement is recommended in cases of serious malfunctions, damage, or to increase the level of security.

Mortise Locks: Discreet and integrated into the door, mortise locks are ideal for entrance doors and are often used for their aesthetics. They offer good security while remaining invisible.
Surface-Mounted Locks: Installed on the door and visible from the outside, these locks are known for their sturdiness. They are perfect for reinforcing the security of older or more fragile doors.
Multipoint Locks: Equipped with several locking points (3, 5, or even 7), multipoint locks offer optimal protection. Recommended for entrance doors, they ensure enhanced resistance against break-in attempts.
Shielded Locks: This type of lock fully protects the linkage and is generally used for large doors or in places requiring advanced security. Shielded locks combine strength and aesthetics.

Advanced Security Options
To further enhance the security of your lock, it is possible to add accessories such as anti-drill cylinders, reinforcement plates, and anti-picking systems. These elements provide additional protection, making the lock more resistant to break-in attempts.
