Antequera lies inland, about fifty kilometres from Málaga. Its historic centre, with the Alcazaba and the Collegiate Church of Santa María la Mayor, is split between the neighbourhoods of San Sebastián, Santa María, San Pedro, Santa Eufemia, the Albaicín and Las Peñuelas. Outside the city there are hamlets such as Bobadilla, La Joya, Cartaojal, Villanueva de Cauche and Los Nogales, as well as country houses and industrial units scattered across the municipality. Visitors come all year round to the Menga, Viera and El Romeral dolmens and to the Torcal, and many stay in tourist apartments and rural houses.
Whoever runs holiday accommodation, an industrial unit or an inherited house in Antequera usually needs more than a door opened: a controlled set of keys, several cylinders that open with the same key, copies for the people who work there. That is why, besides dealing with the emergency, our locksmiths check all the accesses together and suggest whatever makes sense.
Between the Alcazaba and the Collegiate Church, the doors are large and the locks belong to another era. If the key turns but the door does not open, it is often the bolt that has failed and not the cylinder; we check that before replacing anything.
Accommodation that receives visitors every few days suffers heavy wear: keys that get lost, guests who end up locked out, cylinders that jam through use. We check and replace whatever is needed, and hand new sets of keys to the owner or the manager.
Antequera's logistics activity and businesses rely on large doors, shutters and service entrances. We open blocked fastenings, repair the locks of units and warehouses, and reinforce the accesses after an attempted break-in.
The hamlets and scattered farmhouses lie far from the centre and from the nearest neighbours. We change the locks on gates, entrance gates and house doors, and check the least obvious accesses so that the property is not an open invitation.
In Antequera the list of doors is long: houses in the old town, apartments that change guests, country houses and the doors of industrial units. We open them if the key has snapped, has been left inside or the lock has jammed, protecting the door leaf and the ironwork as far as possible, starting with non-destructive opening.
We change locks and cylinders in homes, accommodation and business premises for security models, with new keys and copies. For owners of tourist accommodation, it is the most practical way to take back control of the keys.
We cover locksmith emergencies in Antequera, from the historic centre to Bobadilla, Cartaojal and La Joya, at any hour of the day or night. Message us on WhatsApp with your address, even in the middle of a long weekend or a public holiday.
Yes. Message us with the address and a photo of the door, and our locksmiths will open up for the guest. If the cylinder has suffered, we replace it and give you a new set for the next stay.
The usual approach is to combine a security cylinder with a protective escutcheon and an additional bolt on the door leaf, and to check the hinges and frame, which tend to be the weak point. With a photo of the door we can recommend what makes sense in your case.
Yes. We check the locks of service doors, shutters and warehouse accesses, and repair them or swap them for sturdier ones. A photo of the fastening lets us know which part is needed.
In most cases yes, as long as the lock accepts a modern cylinder. If not, we look for a model that fits without cutting or drilling more than is strictly necessary, so that the door looks the same from the outside.
Do not try to pull the piece out with makeshift tools, as you could make it worse. Message us with a photo and a landmark on the track, and our locksmiths will extract the fragment and check the cylinder.
Yes. A system of combined cylinders or a master key can be set up, so that each person carries the key that corresponds to them. Tell us how many doors there are and who needs access to each one.
We also work in Mollina, Humilladero, Fuente de Piedra.
