Benahavís is a mountain municipality a few kilometres from the coast, between Marbella and Estepona. In the village, with the castle of Montemayor on the hill, whitewashed houses and steep streets mix with dozens of restaurants that have given it a reputation for fine food. All around stretch gated urbanisations and golf courses: La Zagaleta, a well-known private estate, El Madroñal with its villas on large plots, Los Arqueros around the Seve Ballesteros course, La Quinta beside the golf resort and Los Flamingos, with its high-end villas.
The armoured door of a villa and the wooden door of a house in the village do not open in the same way, and both are common in Benahavís. With the urbanisation, a photo of the lock and the way into the estate, our locksmiths bring the right tools.
Many villas in La Zagaleta, El Madroñal, La Heredia or Los Flamingos have armoured doors with several locking points, security cylinders and coded keys. If a key breaks, is lost or the door jams, an experienced technician is needed. We open, repair and replace locks with others of the same or a higher grade.
The urbanisations usually have a guarded entrance, and each villa adds its own gate and auxiliary doors. We look after the locks of the home and of its secondary access points. The urbanisation's control system is managed by its administration, but we help to make sure that your part is free of faults.
The apartments and townhouses in these urbanisations, beside the golf courses, go for long periods without occupants. On returning, the keys stick or the locks have seized up. We check them before you arrive and recommend changing the cylinder when the property is rented out or bought, so that you know exactly who holds copies.
In the old centre of the village, below the castle, there are whitewashed houses with wooden doors and old locks, where a rough forced entry can ruin the door leaf. We open with care and, where appropriate, fit more secure locks that respect the traditional look.
We open armoured, reinforced and conventional doors of villas, apartments and estates in Benahavís when a key is lost or the lock jams. With high security, the aim is to open without destroying the door.
We install high-security locks and cylinders in Benahavís, with new keys and copies of every set. It is a common change when buying a villa, at the end of a rental season or after losing a key.
Urgent help with faults on armoured doors and high-security locks, at any hour and on public holidays, in La Zagaleta, El Madroñal, Los Arqueros, La Quinta, Los Flamingos, La Heredia and the village. Message us on WhatsApp.
Yes. Armoured and high-security doors are opened with specific techniques. Message us on WhatsApp with a photo of the door and of the lock, and we will assess whether it can be opened without damaging it. Let the urbanisation's security staff know as well that we will be attending.
Yes, and it is routine. We only need the person who messages us to let the entrance know that we will be attending and give us the exact address of the house. Inside these estates the streets are private, so sharing your location from your phone helps us a lot.
Yes. In a renovation it is wise to decide on the locks before the final doors are fitted: security cylinders, anchor points and keys unique to the home. Send us the measurements or photos and the type of door on WhatsApp, and we will advise you on what fits.
Throughout the municipality. In the old houses of the village, with wooden doors, we open with fine tools to preserve the door leaf. In urbanisations such as La Heredia the work is more like that on a modern villa, with an armoured door, a gate and entry control.
Do not tamper with it or try to remove the piece with homemade tools, because you could damage the cylinder. Message us and we will extract the fragment. If the cylinder is damaged, we replace it with another and give you new keys.
One of the whole door, another of the lock from the outside and, if visible, another of the plate or the cylinder with the brand. With those images and the name of your urbanisation, we know which model you have and what is needed before we attend.
