D-Bell locksmith replacing the cylinder in a front door

How much does lock replacement cost?

Replacing a cylinder usually costs ILS 290 to 540, and a lock ILS 300 to 550. Replacing a door mechanism costs ILS 520 to 820, and a mailbox lock ILS 120 to 220. These are average D-Bell catalog ranges, and the price depends on the cylinder security level.

When should a cylinder be replaced?

  • After moving in, since you cannot know who else has a key.
  • After a key was lost or stolen.
  • When the key goes in with difficulty or turns only by force.
  • After a break-in attempt.

Standard or high-security cylinder?

A high-security cylinder is harder to open with tools, and its key cannot be copied without a card. It costs more, but suits a front door. Say in the request what you prefer.

Who can book a replacement?

A reliable locksmith asks to see that you live at the address before opening a door or changing a lock, such as an ID with the address or a lease. That protects you too.

How is it done properly?

  • Confirm the person asking for the replacement lives in the home.
  • Measure the cylinder and the door so the new one fits exactly.
  • Fit a cylinder that does not stick out of the door, so it is hard to snap.
  • Test locking and opening with every key, from inside and outside.
  • Hand over all the keys, and the cylinder’s key card if there is one.

Frequently asked questions

How many keys do I get?

Usually several keys come with the cylinder. A high-security one also comes with a copy card. Keep it somewhere safe.

Can the cylinder in a steel door be replaced?

Yes. In most steel doors only the cylinder is replaced, without taking the mechanism apart.

Do I get a receipt?

Yes. An official digital document is issued when the job is done, and you can open and share it from the app.
