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 have booked a weekend in Ronda, the key to the apartment will not turn and the sky is already growing dark over the Tajo. Or you live here, have gone out for bread and the door has shut behind you. Message us on WhatsApp saying where you are: our locksmiths reply at any hour, public holiday or not.
Ronda looks out over a gorge, the Tajo, with a drop of about a hundred metres above the Guadalevín river, and the Puente Nuevo is its symbol. La Ciudad is the oldest quarter, where the alcázar stood, with palaces, convents and churches. San Francisco looks out towards the Puerta de Almocábar and the Arab wall, and El Mercadillo, of Christian origin, brings together Baroque architecture and ironwork. Further out lie residential neighbourhoods such as Padre Jesús, San Rafael and La Dehesa, and across the municipality there are hamlets such as Los Prados, La Cimada or Rosalejo. Hotels, apartments and rural houses welcome a constant flow of visitors.
A door that will not open spoils a whole stay, and Ronda lives off its visitors. Having controlled sets of keys and cylinders in good condition is part of well-run accommodation. Our locksmiths can check the entrance and the secondary accesses of an apartment or a house at the same time, so that it does not fail again in the middle of the season.
In La Ciudad and San Francisco the houses stand alongside palaces, convents and churches, and their doors often keep their knockers and handles. We check the lock and respect the ironwork: the cylinder can be replaced without it being noticeable from the street.
Small hotels, tourist apartments and rural houses suffer continuous wear: lost keys, key boxes that lock up, jammed cylinders. We open up for guests, repair or replace the fastening and hand new sets of keys to the manager.
The newer town of Christian origin is known for its Baroque architecture and its wrought-iron grilles. Many doors combine a grille and a wooden leaf, and need a careful locksmith with both. We open, repair and change locks without spoiling the whole.
In the residential neighbourhoods there are plenty of flats and family homes, with entrance doors used every day, and in the hamlets of Los Prados and La Cimada, houses with gates. We change cylinders after a loss of keys and reinforce fastenings that no longer fit well.
A guest who cannot get into an apartment in La Ciudad, a neighbour locked out in Padre Jesús or an owner with a broken key in a country house: all of them message us. We open trying, whenever possible, not to damage the wood or the ironwork, starting with non-destructive opening.
We change locks and cylinders in homes, small hotels and accommodation in Ronda for security models, with new keys and copies for whoever needs them. It is the most practical step after a change of manager or tenant.
If a lock leaves you out in the open in Ronda, whether in La Ciudad or in a hamlet, message us on WhatsApp at any hour: we also reply in the small hours, at weekends and on fair days, with your address or position.
Yes. Tell us whether there are steps, a shared entrance hall or a pedestrian-only stretch, and our locksmiths walk up to the door with what is needed. A landmark such as the Puente Nuevo or a nearby square helps us.
Yes. Message us with a photo of the box and of the door: we open the door, check the box or replace it and, if needed, change the cylinder too so that the system works normally again.
Generally yes. Our locksmiths check the ironwork of the grille and that of the door leaf, and replace only what is necessary. If the door is very old, we try to keep the original parts and change only the cylinder.
One option is a cylinder with security keys that cannot be copied just anywhere, so that each loss does not force you to change everything. It also helps to leave a spare with a trusted relative. We advise you according to your door.
Yes. Arriate, Montejaque and Benaoján lie next to Ronda and are also part of what we cover. Message us with the name of the town, your street and a photo of the door, and our locksmiths will reply just as they do in the city.
It depends on the door. On a wooden one, a security cylinder with a protective escutcheon is usually enough, and on an armoured one, a higher-grade cylinder. Send us a photo of the edge and the front of the door and we will point you in the right direction.
