Emergency locksmith at any hour. Tell us on WhatsApp what has happened and we will reply straight away.
Message us on WhatsAppYou close the front door to go and watch the sunset and find that the keys have been left inside, or you come back from dinner and the cylinder will not turn. In Nerja, where almost one in four registered residents comes from another country, people come and go with suitcases, copies of keys and short lets. If it happens to you, a WhatsApp message with your address is all you need to get started.
Nerja is the easternmost municipality of the Axarquía, some fifty kilometres from Málaga and right up against the peaks of the Sierra de Almijara. The Old Town (Casco Antiguo), with the Balcón de Europa looking out over the sea, mixes whitewashed façades, squares and lanes. Close to the sea are Burriana, with its beach and promenade, and Torrecilla, and to the west Punta Lara, a district of villas next to the beach. On the hillsides, Capistrano Village surprises with white houses and cobbled streets, and further east is Maro, a small village beside the caves, famous for their prehistoric paintings.
As in few other places, village houses, holiday apartments, villas with a pool and farms with subtropical crops among the hills all accumulate here. Each type of home calls for a different lock and a different way of treating the door. Tell us your area, the type of home and send a photo of the lock, and our locksmiths will prepare the job with what you need.
Near the Balcón de Europa there are houses with wooden doors, grilles and locks that have seen many years go by. To open, we try techniques that do not mark the wood first, and if the lock needs renewing, we choose a sturdier one that does not stand out from the street.
In these areas villas and townhouses with gardens, terraces, sliding doors and outside access points dominate. The more entrances, the more locks to keep an eye on, above all if the house is let by season. We check all the access points and change the cylinders when a property changes hands.
The buildings close to the beach have busy entrance halls and flats that change occupant often. The salt air affects terrace fastenings and exposed cylinders. We clean them, lubricate them or replace them, and hand over new keys so that the owner controls the copies.
Those who live outside the town, among avocados, hills and ravines, tend to have farm gates, entrance gates and homes used by season. We fit robust locks, repair jammed gates and check secondary doors that go unnoticed.
We open the doors of apartments, village houses, villas and farms in Nerja when you are locked out, the key breaks or the cylinder seizes up. In the Old Town, we work with care around the whitewashed façades and the grilles.
We change locks and cylinders in homes in Nerja for security models, with new keys and copies. Very useful for seasonal rentals, sales and inheritances, when nobody knows who holds keys to the house.
Emergency locksmith service in Nerja at any hour, from the Balcón de Europa to Maro and from Burriana to Punta Lara, at weekends and on public holidays too. By WhatsApp, with your location, we start helping you.
In the centre there are many similar lanes, so a well-known landmark helps more than a street name: the Balcón de Europa itself, a square, a restaurant or the nearest beach. Add which floor you live on and whether the access is through a shop or a separate entrance hall, and with that we can locate the door.
Yes, we cover all areas of Nerja. If your urbanisation has a gate or a private street, tell us the name of the complex, where the entrance is and the number of the house.
In many cases yes, depending on the model of each lock. Send us photos on WhatsApp and we will check which cylinders can be replaced. That way you cut down the bunch and control the copies better.
Yes, it is the most sensible thing when you take on a home. That way there are no copies from previous owners in circulation. Tell us how many doors the house has, including the garden door, and we will explain the options.
The salt air is the usual culprit. Send us a photo of the lock and of the handle and we will suggest the fix, whether recovering the mechanism or fitting a new one made of more resistant materials.
The most practical thing is to replace the cylinder on all the outside doors and start with new keys. Message us with a photo of each lock and we will tell you what can be changed and what is worth checking.
We also work in Frigiliana, Cómpeta.
