Fichet Alicea high-security lock in Mallorca
The Fichet Alicea is a high-security multipoint lock fitted to the door you already have, for when an armoured door is not an option. It carries A2P certified resistance and comes in two versions: the Alicea S, with 3 locking points and A2P 1-star certification, and the Alicea XP, with 5 locking points, an anti-break-in system and A2P 3 stars. Panys Forts fits it in Palma and throughout Mallorca.
What the Alicea lock is
The Alicea is a surface-mounted multipoint lock made by Fichet in France. It fits on the inside face of the door and locks at several points along the height of the leaf, not just in the middle.
Fichet designed it for situations where the door cannot be changed: communities that won't allow a new one, rented flats, wooden doors worth keeping. Its careful finish, with no visible screws and a casing that overlaps the strike to stop light showing through, lets it blend in with your interior.
A certified lock protects the locking mechanism, not the door itself: the Alicea greatly improves a solid door, but it won't turn a weak door into an armoured one.

Who it suits, and who it doesn't
The Alicea is for anyone with a door in good condition who can't or doesn't want to replace it. It suits rented flats, older buildings in Palma's old town with wooden doors the community wants to keep, and holiday homes where a quick step up in security is the goal.
The Alicea XP is the version we recommend if the door is sturdy and you want the most resistant lock: 3 stars, 5 points and the anti-break-in system.
It is not the answer if the door is hollow, made of thin board or the frame is damaged: the lock will hold, but the door won't. In that case we will tell you the right investment is an armoured door, such as the Protectdoor+ or Foxeo+ S.
Alicea S vs Alicea XP, and vs an armoured door
Both versions share the same finishes and concept; security is the difference:
- Alicea S: 3 points, round bolts, A2P 1 star, Orio, 787 Z or F3D cylinder.
- Alicea XP: 5 points, hook bolts, carbonitrided double central bolt, anti-break-in system, A2P 3 stars, 787 Z or F3D cylinder.
Compared with an armoured door, the Alicea protects the lock, while an A2P BP certified door set protects door, lock and frame together. Fichet itself uses the Alicea S as the lock in its certified Stylea door set.
Fitting the Alicea in Mallorca
Before fitting an Alicea, Panys Forts checks your door: material, thickness, and the condition of the frame and hinges. If the door won't be up to the lock, we tell you there and then.
If it is suitable, we choose the version, cylinder, finish and options with you. For tall doors there is the top and bottom kit and the tall door kit up to 3,000 mm, useful in older Palma flats with high ceilings.
We fit in Palma and across Mallorca.
Care and service
The Alicea needs hardly any maintenance. If the latch feels stiff when closing, the optional roller on the strike gives a softer close.
Keys can only be copied at Fichet's factory in Oust-Marest with the coded ownership card. For urgent lockouts, Panys Forts answers 24 hours a day on 600 590 000.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to fit an Alicea lock?
It depends on the version (S or XP), the cylinder (Orio, 787 Z or F3D), the finish and whether you need kits for tall doors or outside fittings. It is a smaller investment than an armoured door. We give you a written quote after seeing the door.
Alicea or an armoured door?
If your door is solid and the frame is sound, an Alicea XP raises security considerably without replacing the door. If the door is thin board or the frame is damaged, the lock isn't enough: the door itself becomes the weak point. We assess it at the visit.
Can it be fitted in a rented flat?
Yes, and it is one of its natural uses because the door stays as it is. If you are a tenant, ask the landlord for permission. When you leave, it is worth agreeing with them what happens to the lock and the cylinder's ownership card.
Does it work on old, tall doors?
Yes. The Alicea is 2,360 mm tall as standard and, with the tall door kit, covers doors up to 3,000 mm. It is a useful solution in older Palma flats with tall wooden doors that owners don't want to replace.
What is the difference between 1 and 3 A2P stars?
A2P stars measure a lock's resistance to destructive attacks and picking. Three stars is the highest level. The Alicea S has 1 star and the Alicea XP, with 5 points and the anti-break-in system, has 3. Both versions share the same finishes.
Is it visible from outside?
From outside you only see the cylinder and, if you choose them, the optional outside fittings such as the gold escutcheon. The lock sits on the inside face, with no visible screws and in the colour you choose to match the door.
