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 WhatsAppThe apartment door closes behind you when you go down for bread, and the key is still hanging on the hook. Or you reach your winter home after a few weeks away and the cylinder does not respond. In Torrox, where people from many countries live and spend long stays, a faulty lock quickly becomes a problem. Message us on WhatsApp with your address and our locksmiths will reply at any hour, even on public holidays.
Torrox has two clearly distinct centres. Up on the slope of the Sierra de Almijara, the village keeps its church of La Encarnación, the church of San Roque and its steep streets. Down by the sea, Torrox Costa is home to most of the residents, with its lighthouse, its seafront promenade and districts such as El Morche, Calaceite and El Peñoncillo, as well as urbanisations such as Torrox Park and Santa Rosa. Torrox has one of the largest communities of German residents in Spain and, today, neighbours of some ninety nationalities, among them British and Scandinavians.
That translates into many homes of mixed use: flats for residents, apartments occupied by season and country houses among avocados and olive trees. Tell us your settlement, the street and, if you can, a photo of the lock, and our locksmiths bring the right part for your door.
Between the seafront promenade and the N-340 there are residential complexes with a pool, shared entrance halls and apartments with a terrace. The locks suffer from the salt air and heavy use, and the keys to entrance halls and storerooms are easily lost. We check every access point and replace the worn parts.
The lanes of the village, with steep slopes, have houses with wooden doors and old locks. We open without forcing the wood or the ironwork and, if the mechanism needs changing, we look for a more secure option that goes unnoticed on the door.
Many people occupy their homes only in certain months. After weeks or months without use, damp and salt seize up the cylinder, and when you return it no longer turns. We lubricate or change the cylinders, hand over new keys and check the terrace and balcony fastenings.
Around the settlements there are villas, townhouses and farms with an entrance gate, a garden and side doors. With so many access points, it is easy for one to be left with a weak lock. We change the locks on entrance gates, farm gates and the house itself, and reinforce the most exposed points.
We open the doors of apartments, flats, village houses, villas and farms in Torrox when you are locked out or the key breaks in the cylinder. We try non-destructive opening first and, in the steep streets of the village, we adapt the work to each door.
We change cylinders and locks in homes in Torrox Costa, El Morche, Calaceite and Torrox Pueblo for security models, with new keys and copies. It is practical to do so when buying, when inheriting a home or before leaving it closed for a season.
Emergency locksmith service in Torrox at any hour, from the village to the coast and from El Peñoncillo to Calaceite, including weekends and public holidays. Tell us about your situation on WhatsApp and our locksmiths will reply.
Yes. The first thing we try is non-destructive opening, whether it is an armoured, aluminium or wooden door. Message us with the name of the urbanisation or the street and a photo of the lock.
Yes, we cover every settlement in Torrox. Send your position on WhatsApp together with a reference, such as the lighthouse, the seafront promenade or the name of the residential complex, and we will locate the home even if the street is private.
Usually yes. We assess the condition of the leaf and suggest a more secure lock that fits the current door. A photo of the door and of the inside of the lock helps us advise you before we attend the home.
It is worth checking that the locks, terrace fastenings and main door turn smoothly and that no spare key is floating around. If you have doubts about old copies, changing the cylinder is the simplest way to start from scratch.
Yes. We change the cylinder and give you several new keys, so that you decide who gets a copy. Message us with the current model and we will tell you whether the whole lock needs changing too.
Send your location on WhatsApp and tell us what can be seen nearby: the lighthouse, a well-known urbanisation or a junction on the N-340. With those references our locksmiths can locate the home even if it is not on a named street.
We also work in Cómpeta, Frigiliana.
