Locksmith in Gdańsk: a keypad lock instead of keys under the mat

Plenty of flats in Gdańsk are short-term rentals, and their owners come to a locksmith for specific things. Most often an electronic keypad lock or a smart cylinder that opens from an app, so keys don't have to be handed over. When someone loses a key, the cylinder is replaced or the existing one is rekeyed and a new set is cut. Say in the job how many keys you need and whether the door already has an anti-burglary escutcheon.

The city completes more than twice as many new flats per resident as the Polish average. In a freshly handed-over flat the front door is usually decent, but new owners change the cylinder anyway, because they don't know how many keys were going around during construction. Then come a door chain, a peephole, a door closer. In older flats locks stick and hinges sag. In that case the locksmith tries to repair first and only then suggests replacement.
