Message us on WhatsAppBeing locked out is one of those situations nobody expects and that almost always happens at the worst possible moment: with the shopping in your hands, on the way back from the beach, at midnight or just before leaving for work. Sometimes the door slams shut with the keys inside; other times the key snaps in the lock or the cylinder jams and will no longer turn. Whatever the cause, the answer is to open the door with care, without turning a nuisance into a bigger repair.
At Cerrajeros Málaga 24 we put non-destructive opening first. Our locksmiths use professional techniques and tools that allow most doors to be opened without damaging the lock or the frame, so you can carry on using your own key. Only when the lock is faulty or is a very high-security model may the cylinder need to be replaced, and if that is the case we explain it to you before going ahead.
We work in Málaga city and across the whole province, from the Costa del Sol to the villages inland, at any hour of the day or night, including weekends and public holidays. If you are on holiday, renting a villa or looking after a second home, it makes no difference: message us on WhatsApp with the address and a short description of what has happened, and we will tell you how we can help.
This is the most common case: the door slams and the keys stay inside, or the lock jams. In flats and apartments we can usually open without breaking anything, on both wooden and metal doors, and we do our best not to damage the lock. It is just as useful in a holiday let.
In detached houses, townhouses and villas in gated urbanisations we open front doors, service doors and garden access doors. If the property has several locks or an additional bolt, we assess it on the spot and choose the method least likely to affect your door.
Security doors have more complex locks, but they can also be opened with the right method. We first try to open without damaging the lock; if that is not possible, we explain which part would need replacing so that the door is secure again.
We open metal shutters, shop doors, storage rooms and communal garages when a key is lost, breaks or the mechanism jams. It is a very useful service for businesses and for communities of owners that cannot afford to stay shut.
In most cases, yes. Our locksmiths always try a non-destructive opening first so as not to damage the lock or the door. Only when the mechanism is broken or the lock is a high-security model may it be necessary to change the cylinder, and we always explain this before doing it.
For security reasons, before opening we ask you to show that the property is yours or that you have the right to be in it: an ID document showing the address, a utility bill, the rental or holiday-let contract or any other document that proves it. It is a measure that protects you as well as your neighbours.
Yes. We work with security and reinforced doors of different models. Depending on the type of lock, we try to open without damaging it; if the bolt is blocked or faulty, we discuss with you the best way to solve it and, if necessary, to change the cylinder or the mechanism.
This is a common fault. We remove the piece of key left inside the cylinder, open the door and check that the lock is still in good condition. If the cylinder has been damaged, we suggest changing it and, if you wish, cutting you new keys.
Yes. Our door-opening service runs 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Message us on WhatsApp at any time with your address and what has happened, and our locksmiths will explain how we can help.
