Lock information
What we do with TESA ASSA ABLOY hardware
Door cylinder and lock
TESA ASSA ABLOY is a Spanish manufacturer of locking and access control solutions, part of the ASSA ABLOY group. Its range includes mechanical and electronic cylinders, security locks for timber doors, metal profile doors and high-security steel doors, access control for hotels and buildings, panic exit hardware and accessories. We only work on mechanical TESA door cylinders and locks, not on electronic cylinders, access control or hotel locks.
Assessing the job and its limits
We identify the cylinder, where the key goes in, separately from the lock, the mechanism inside the door. If the fault is in the cylinder, replacing it is usually enough; if it is in the lock, we assess whether to repair or replace it.
Options before you accept the work
We suggest replacing the cylinder, repairing the lock or replacing it with a TESA lock or one compatible with the lock recess, and give you the price before we start.
Lock information
Useful information before asking about TESA ASSA ABLOY
If the TESA name appears on your door, these details help us point your enquiry in the right direction.
- Where you can read TESA: on the face of the cylinder, on the faceplate of the lock on the door edge or on the key.
- Which part seems to be failing: the cylinder, the lock inside the door, the handle or the key.
- What you notice: the key won’t turn, the latch doesn’t spring back or the door doesn’t close properly.
- The type of door and whether the lock sits inside the door edge or is screwed to the inside face.
- Whether you still have the keys to every lock and any part that has come loose.
Lock information
Identifying your TESA ASSA ABLOY model
Details to identify the hardware
The TESA name on the face of the cylinder and the marking on the lock faceplate on the door edge, whether it is a mortice lock or a rim lock and the type of door. Don’t send detailed photos of your keys.
Compatibility and availability
With the references we check the cylinder size and the lock that fits in TESA’s documentation before giving you the price.
Lock information
Why you shouldn’t choose a TESA ASSA ABLOY part without inspecting the door
A TESA cylinder or lock doesn’t mean any part from that brand will suit your door. It depends on whether the fault is in the cylinder or the lock, the size of the lock recess and the cylinder, the rest of the installed set and the wear on each part. Inspecting the door first avoids replacing what didn’t need replacing.
Lock information
What to clarify before replacing a TESA ASSA ABLOY part
- Is the problem in the key and cylinder or in the lock mechanism?
- Are you looking to repair the lock or replace the part that is failing?
- Does the door have any constraints, such as a special lock recess or little room for the cylinder?
- Is there a visible reference on the face of the cylinder or the lock?
Lock information
What to confirm in your TESA ASSA ABLOY quote
Replacing the cylinder, repairing the lock or replacing it are priced differently depending on the model and the door. VAT is always extra, the price depends on when the service takes place and a supplement applies outside Torrevieja. We give you the price before we start.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about TESA ASSA ABLOY
How do I identify the TESA ASSA ABLOY cylinder and lock separately?
The cylinder is visible on the outside of the door and has the name on its face; the lock is inside the door and its marking appears on the faceplate on the door edge when you open it. Send a photo of each.
Can you work on any TESA ASSA ABLOY model?
No. We replace TESA cylinders and repair or replace mechanical TESA locks. We don’t work on electronic cylinders, access control or hotel locks, and each model is confirmed by its reference.
Which photos help identify my TESA ASSA ABLOY hardware?
One of the cylinder from the front, another of the lock faceplate on the door edge with the door open and another of the whole door. Don’t send detailed photos of your keys.
How is the quote for TESA ASSA ABLOY confirmed?
With the photos and the references we give you the price before we start, with VAT extra. If the price changes once we inspect the door, we don’t continue without your agreement.
Does this page mean you are an official TESA ASSA ABLOY service?
No. This page offers guidance on TESA products, but it does not represent any official link with TESA or with ASSA ABLOY.
When is inspecting a TESA lock enough, and when does it need repairing or replacing?
If the door rubs or the strike plate has shifted, an adjustment may be enough after inspecting it. If a part of the lock is damaged and can be fixed, it is repaired. If the wear is general or the part can’t be fixed, we consider replacing it with another that fits the recess. Which applies to you becomes clear when we inspect the door.
What information helps assess a case with a TESA cylinder or lock?
What happens and since when, whether the fault appears with the door open or only when closing it, whether it affects every key and the type of door. That points to whether the cause is in the cylinder, the lock or the adjustment, and the inspection confirms it.
