Rincón de la Victoria · 24 hours, every day
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 come back from the beach with a towel over your shoulder, search your bag and the key is not there: it stayed inside the house and the latch has closed by itself. Or you get home from work in Málaga at midnight and the cylinder spins freely. In Rincón de la Victoria these situations happen every day, because many people live here and work in the capital. If it happens to you, tell us on WhatsApp where you are and what has happened, at any hour.
Rincón is not a single town but four settlements spread between the sea and the hills. Next to Málaga is La Cala del Moral, a former fishermen’s district, followed by the centre of Rincón, with its seafront promenade and the Cueva del Tesoro in the cliff. Further east is Torre de Benagalbón, named after a 14th-century tower, and then the beach of Los Rubios, already bordering Vélez-Málaga. Inland, Benagalbón is a village surrounded by orchards of subtropical fruit trees. Between them there are urbanisations such as Añoreta, with its golf course, and Parque Victoria.
The doors we see here range from the low house in La Cala, with its door at street level, to the townhouse in Añoreta with a garage and storeroom. They are all affected by the same things: the Mediterranean salt, the damp and keys that pass from hand to hand every summer. Tell us your settlement, the street and the type of door, and our locksmiths bring the right part.
In the older districts there are ground-floor houses, small blocks and entrances with iron or aluminium doors battered by the sea salt. Locks seize up in the damp and old cylinders do not last long. We open without breaking the door leaf and suggest changing the cylinder before the key snaps inside.
In these urbanisations the norm is homes with a garden, a garage and several entrances: gate, patio door, garage access and front door. With so many locks it is easy to lose track of the keys. We check all the access points and, when it makes sense, leave several cylinders on a single key.
In the Benagalbón valley there are country houses, farmhouses and plots surrounded by fruit trees and crops. Many are left alone during the day and the farm doors are exposed. We change locks, strengthen the fastenings of gates and sheds and leave the home better protected.
Homes facing the sea are rented out in summer and shut up in winter. After months without use, or after a tenant, it is advisable to replace the cylinder so that nobody keeps a copy. Balcony and shutter locks also jam in the salty air, and we free them up or replace them.
We open the doors of flats, low houses, townhouses, villas and country properties in Rincón de la Victoria when you are locked out or the lock does not respond. We use techniques that respect the door, whether it is an aluminium leaf in La Cala or an armoured one in Añoreta.
We change cylinders and locks in homes in Rincón, La Cala del Moral, Torre de Benagalbón and Benagalbón for security models, with new keys. It is the sensible thing after a move, a rental or a break-in, and also for peace of mind if your home is left empty for months.
We deal with locksmith emergencies along the whole coast of Rincón, from La Cala del Moral to Los Rubios, and in the inland area of Benagalbón, at any hour and at weekends. Tell us your case on WhatsApp and our locksmiths will reply.
Yes. The first thing we try is non-destructive opening, on aluminium doors as well as armoured or wooden ones. Message us with the street and, if you can, a photo of the lock, and our locksmiths will prepare what is needed.
Yes. Tell us the name of the urbanisation, the number of the house and how to get in, and share your location from your phone. With that we can find the door even if the street does not show up well on maps.
Yes. We check the gate, the entrance door, the sheds and the secondary accesses, and leave them with security locks. If you prefer, we match several cylinders to the same key so that you do not need a bunch.
Yes, it is a recommended habit. When you replace the cylinder, any copies left in the hands of tenants or acquaintances stop working. Message us and we will tell you whether your model allows a direct change.
It is usually down to a worn mechanism or a latch jammed by the damp. Do not force the key, because you could snap it inside. Send us a WhatsApp message with a photo and our locksmiths will assess whether the part needs greasing or replacing.
Yes. We help at any hour, in the small hours too, at weekends and on public holidays. Say which settlement you are in, whether La Cala, the centre or Torre de Benagalbón, and the street or a landmark such as the Cueva del Tesoro, and our locksmiths will take care of the rest.
We also work in Totalán, Moclinejo.
