Answer
How often should I check the lock cylinder on my finca in Mallorca?
A lock cylinder should be checked regularly, and experts recommend a more thorough inspection every 8 to 10 years. In Mallorca, it is wise to do it sooner if the lock gets heavy use, has been exposed to humidity, or if a key has been lost. If the key feels jerky or resists when turning, the cylinder may already be worn.
