Locked out of your home?
Emergency locksmith at any hour. Tell us on WhatsApp what has happened and we will reply straight away.
Message us on WhatsAppYou take the rubbish out to the bins, the door of your townhouse slams shut behind you and the keys are still hanging inside, by the hallway. Or the gate of your plot jams with the house empty and the family waiting on the pavement. In Alhaurín de la Torre, a municipality of villas, plots and urbanisations, these emergencies come at any hour. Message us on WhatsApp with your address and our locksmiths will reply, at night and on public holidays too.
There is no coast here: Alhaurín lies inland, between the Sierra de Mijas and the Guadalhorce valley, about eighteen kilometres from Málaga. The town centre, with Barrio Viejo, La Torre and neighbourhoods such as El Limonar, is surrounded by urbanisations of white terraced and semi-detached villas, among them Retamar, Pinos de Alhaurín and Taralpe. Further from the centre you find Lauro Golf, which occupies land towards Alhaurín el Grande, and the rural hamlets of El Romeral, Mestanza and La Alquería, with farms and country houses among the crops.
That mix of homes next to the town and isolated houses in the countryside calls for different solutions. A doorway in the old town, an urbanisation gate with several entrances and a farm with no neighbours nearby are not protected in the same way. With your area, a photo of the door and the way in, our locksmiths prepare the right equipment and bring it with them.
These are urbanisations of single-family homes with a garden, a garage and a gate, many of them built decades ago. Over the years the cylinders wear out and the garage and patio doors lose their fit. We check every access point of the house and replace the cylinders that no longer close firmly.
In a golf urbanisation, with a communal pool and sports courts, there are houses that are occupied only at certain times of the year. After months closed up, the locks seize and it is easy for keys to be scattered among former owners or tenants. We change cylinders and hand over new keys.
Homes in the hamlets are often set apart, with large gates, wrought-iron fences and sheds. A flimsy lock in a place with no neighbours nearby is an invitation. We replace locks with sturdier models, adjust gates and check the secondary access points.
In the streets of the centre and in neighbourhoods such as Barrio Viejo and El Limonar there are flats with a shared entrance, older wooden doors and locks from another era. We open with care so as not to spoil the door leaf, and we replace the mechanisms when the key no longer goes in properly or the security needs renewing.
We open the doors of townhouses, villas, flats and farms in Alhaurín de la Torre when you are locked out, the key snaps in the cylinder or the gate jams. At country houses and in private urbanisations, we follow the location you send us. We always try non-destructive opening first.
We replace locks and cylinders in villas, plots and village homes with security models, with new keys and copies. If your house has a gate, a garage and a patio door, we look at the whole set so that no weak access points are left.
We deal with locksmith emergencies at any hour in Alhaurín de la Torre, from the town centre to the urbanisations and the hamlets of El Romeral and Mestanza. Weekends and public holidays too: message us on WhatsApp.
Yes. We first try non-destructive opening, on wooden doors as well as on security doors. Send us your street and a photo of the lock on WhatsApp, and our locksmiths will bring what is needed.
Yes, we cover the whole municipality. In the countryside, send the exact point from the map on your phone along with a landmark, such as a junction or a well-known farmhouse, because some tracks do not show up well on maps.
The usual thing is to make sure the locks turn smoothly after months without use, and to change the cylinder if you have given keys to former guests. Message us and we will advise you according to the type of door and gate you have.
Yes. We check the lock, the latch and the hinges of the gate and, if the mechanism is damaged, we replace it with a tougher one. A photo on WhatsApp helps us work out which part we need.
Tell the police if anything is missing or damaged, and do not touch more than necessary. Then message us with a photo: we check the lock, repair it or replace it with a sturdier one, and we also check the garage and the patio door.
Yes. We cover everything from the town centre to Lauro Golf, which lies on the A-404 towards Alhaurín el Grande, and the urbanisations and farms spread between the mountains and the valley. If your street is private or a dirt track, tell us which turning off the road leads in and give us a visible landmark.
