Message us on WhatsAppYou have gone out for a stroll on the beach, the apartment door closes behind you and the keys are left on the bedside table. Or the guests in your holiday rental leave and nobody knows how many copies of the key are still out there. In Torre del Mar, the main beach town of the municipality of Vélez-Málaga, these situations multiply in summer and on long weekends. Message us on WhatsApp with your street and our locksmiths will reply at any hour, including public holidays.
Torre del Mar stretches between the Vélez river and the Seco river, some thirty-three kilometres east of Málaga, and the N-340 road splits it in two. In the oldest part, around the hill of La Viña, there are narrow streets and low houses, and the old districts of La Parroquia, La Viña, Casas Nuevas and El Castillo mark the origins of the town. But its present look was shaped by the boom of the 1960s: wide avenues, apartment blocks and a very long seafront promenade, with the lighthouse (Faro) at one end and the Paseo de Larios, which links the beach with the church of San Andrés.
It is a place where long-standing locals live alongside seasonal visitors, and that shows in the locks: busy entrance halls, beach apartments whose keys change hands, and old houses and villas from another era that hold up as best they can. If you tell us which area you are in and what kind of door you have, our locksmiths prepare the job from the very first message.
In the blocks facing the Paseo Marítimo and in Poniente-Faro there are plenty of holiday-rental flats. With every change of guests the copies pile up, and recovering a lost key is impossible. We replace the cylinder and hand over new keys, so that the owner knows exactly who can get in.
The sea breeze, the damp and the sand take their toll on locks, handles and the fastenings of balcony and terrace doors. When the lock on an entrance hall or a balcony becomes stiff, it should be checked before the key snaps. We clean it, lubricate it or replace it with a more resistant part.
In the oldest part of town there are still village houses, villas from the early twentieth century and wooden doors with locks from another era. We open with care, without marking or splintering the door, and if the lock needs modernising, we suggest a sturdier one that fits into the original leaf.
Communities close to the sea add up to flat doors, entrance halls, garages and storerooms. It is easy to lose a key or to want to unify the locks so as to carry less metal around. We change cylinders and, whenever the model allows it, leave several doors on the same key.
We open the doors of flats, apartments, village houses and villas in Torre del Mar when you are locked out, the key snaps or the cylinder does not respond. Whether it is a recent armoured door or the wooden leaf of an old house, we choose the technique to suit the door.
We change cylinders and locks in everyday homes and holiday rentals in Torre del Mar, with new keys and copies. Doing it after every change of tenant or every season is the simplest way not to depend on copies you do not control.
Emergency locksmith service in Torre del Mar, from Poniente and the Faro to Levante, La Viña and the Paseo de Larios, at any hour and at weekends. Send us a WhatsApp with your street or your position on the map.
It is good practice, above all if someone has taken the key away by mistake or you have doubts about the copies. Message us with a photo of the lock and we will tell you whether the cylinder can be replaced with a compatible one, so that you can leave new keys each time.
Yes. We cover both the seaward side, with the Paseo Marítimo, the Faro and the Paseo de Larios, and the part on the other side of the N-340. Tell us the name of the street and which side of the road you are on.
With the sea air it is quite common in entrance halls. Send us a photo on WhatsApp and we will decide whether it can be fixed with cleaning and lubrication or whether a cylinder more resistant to salt is needed.
Yes. We try non-destructive opening first. Give us the entrance hall or the number, and if the urbanisation has restricted access, tell us how to get in so that we find the entrance hall without going round in circles.
Usually yes. We assess the condition of the door and suggest a sturdier lock that respects its look. A photo of the leaf and of the frame lets us advise you before we attend.
Send your position on WhatsApp or tell us what you can see around you: the Faro, the Paseo de Larios, a beach bar or the N-340. With that we can get our bearings even if you do not know the name of the street.
