We work directly with several holiday rental managers in the area; we coordinate with them when there's a tenant inside, or access with the deposited key when the apartment is empty. We send photos and videos of the problem before acting. We provide a fixed quote that the owner approves via WhatsApp. After the work, we send a written report with before-and-after photos. We invoice digitally. For many non-resident owners, this is the first time they can manage issues at their Spanish home without needing to fly over.

Non-destructive entry when possible, complete lock or cylinder replacement, installation of high-security anti-bumping cylinders. Changing only the cylinder is a 30-45 minute operation per door. The mechanical lock remains, and we only replace the inner cylinder where the key fits. The new key is completely different and will not work with the old one. This is the most economical option and the one we recommend when the lock is of good quality and in good condition. Changing the complete lock costs more and is justified when the lock is old or of low quality, and we want to take advantage of the change to increase the security level. This operation takes 60-90 minutes per door. The typical Torrevieja client does not live here all year round. Their main residence is in Manchester, Lyon, Munich, or Stockholm. They use their apartment here for their own holidays or rent it out through a manager. When there is a breakdown, they cannot catch a plane for a leaking sink. They need someone who can enter the apartment, diagnose the problem, quote, and resolve it, without them having to organise everything from abroad.

If the lock is in good condition, only replacing the cylinder is the most economical option. If it's old or of poor quality, a full lock change is a better investment. 30 days on labour. Premium cylinders with official manufacturer's warranty up to 10 years. Full change of lock or just the cylinder depending on the case. Quality brand and new set of keys.

The price for copies and duplicates in El Baix Guinardó usually ranges between 50 and 385 euros. The final figure depends on the condition of the property, the materials, and the time spent working. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. For a home on the Costa Blanca with medium risk (an urbanisation with neighbours, not isolated), we recommend a medium-high quality anti-bumping cylinder. Brands like Tesa T80, Mottura Champions, or Cisa Astral are our best sellers. These cylinders have security pins that prevent the bumping technique – that sharp knock with a special key that opens any standard cylinder in less than 60 seconds. They come with a registered security key, which cannot be copied by any hardware store without authorisation. And they have European EN1303 certification, which guarantees resistance to manipulation for years. Their cost is reasonable, and the real security improvement is enormous. For apartments in blocks with neighbours, an active community, and natural surveillance, we recommend a medium-high security cylinder such as Tesa T80 or Cisa Astral. Effective anti-bumping, registered key (cannot be copied without your authorisation), EN1303 grade 5 certification (resistance to manipulation for years). Reasonable cost and significant real improvement over standard.
