Locked out: what to do now
A door slammed shut by the wind, keys left in the beach bag or lost on the way home. Getting locked out is the most common emergency in San Javier, especially in summer. First of all, don't force the door or the lock yourself: a failed attempt can turn a simple opening into a lock replacement.
Call us and tell us what kind of door it is and whether the key was turned. With that we can tell you how much it will cost and roughly how long we'll take. If you want extra peace of mind afterwards, we can change the lock on the same visit.
Situations we help with
- Door slammed shut with the keys inside.
- Lost or stolen keys and no spare to hand.
- Key turned in the lock and nobody else has a copy.
- Key broken inside the cylinder.
- A lock that won't turn or has jammed.
- A holiday-rental guest who can't get in.
- Storeroom, garage or communal-area doors.

Doors and locks we open

- Armoured and multi-point doors: these take more time and specialist tools.

- Electronic or code locks with a flat battery or that have locked up.

Good to know before we arrive
No damage when possible
A door closed only on the latch can almost always be opened without damaging the lock or the frame.
When the cylinder must be replaced
If the key is turned, the cylinder is high-security or a key is broken inside, it sometimes has to be replaced. We tell you first and you can choose a security cylinder.
What to have ready
An ID or document showing the address, your rental contract or the owner's contact details. If you're on holiday, the phone number of the apartment manager.
What affects the price of a door opening
- The time and day: nights, weekends and public holidays.
- The type of door and lock.
- Whether the key is turned or the door just slammed shut.
- Whether the cylinder has to be replaced and which model you choose.
- The distance to your address.
Quote first: we give you an estimated price on the phone and confirm it at the door before we start. If you don't accept it, no work is done.

FAQ: door opening
How long does it take to open a door in San Javier?
Approximate arrival is 20 minutes, depending on traffic, area, season and availability. A door that has slammed shut is usually open within a few minutes; an armoured door with the key turned takes longer.
Will you break the lock?
We always start with non-destructive techniques. Only if they don't work, and after explaining it to you, is the cylinder replaced.
Can you let me in if I'm renting?
Yes, with your rental contract, a document showing the address or confirmation from the owner.
I'm a guest in a holiday apartment and can't get in: what should I do?
Contact the manager or owner first. If they authorise it, we come at any hour and confirm the opening with them.
What if the key has broken inside?
We try to extract the broken piece without damaging the cylinder. If it is damaged, we suggest replacing it. More details in lock repair.
