Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We make copies and duplicates in El Raval. We go to the property, inspect the job, give you a clear price, and get started. For scheduled maintenance, pre-season, post-season visits, annual contracts with rental managers, we schedule with ample notice. We recommend booking in March for an April visit because during the first half of May, all technicians in Torrevieja are overwhelmed with clients who open their apartment the same day and simultaneously discover their air conditioning isn't cooling.

How we work

Call us, send us a WhatsApp message, or request your quote online — we'll respond in less than 10 minutes during business hours. The pattern repeats every year. May arrives, British, Irish, and French owners return to Torrevieja, open the apartment door that has been closed since February. They discover surprises. A washing machine stopcock that has failed during the winter and is now dripping onto the laundry room floor. An air conditioning thermostat that no longer responds to the remote. Jammed blinds halfway down because the internal tape has dried out. A damp smell in the master bedroom coming from behind the built-in wardrobe. We have verified professionals available in less than 2 hours. Choose the service and ask us for a quote.

When to call for copies and duplicates in El Raval

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's a breakdown, they can't fly over for a leaky sink. They need someone who can enter the apartment, diagnose the problem, quote, and resolve it, without them having to organise everything from abroad. We work directly with several holiday rental managers in the area, coordinating with them when a tenant is inside, or accessing 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 job, 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 breakdowns in their Spanish home without taking a flight. Central Torrevieja is what we cover most due to the density of old blocks. Ramón Gallud Street, Paseo Vista Alegre, the streets surrounding the Parque del Molino del Agua. Here, five- to eight-storey buildings have installations from the 80s that no longer comply with REBT, and when someone renovates a kitchen or bathroom, they discover unexpected things in the walls.

Materials and brands

All that investment in a security cylinder loses its meaning if key copies are freely made at any high street hardware shop. The registered key of a security cylinder can only be duplicated by the official manufacturer's distributor upon presentation of the owner's card that we provide upon installation. Without that card, no copy is possible. This means you control exactly how many keys exist and who has them. You'll never have the uncomfortable doubt of whether the local locksmith or a duplicator has saved your key pattern for future use. For detached villas, single-family homes in affected areas, or owners with prior experience of attempted burglaries, we recommend high-security cylinders such as Cisa Astral S, Mul-T-Lock MT5+, Tesa T80 Plus or Mottura Champions. These raise the grade to EN1303 grade 6, adding all anti-features (bumping, picking, drilling, extraction). They come with a manufacturer's theft insurance guarantee. This guarantee is relevant. If, despite everything, an intrusion occurs and you can prove the cylinder was tampered with, the manufacturer covers part of the damage. Official manufacturer's warranty 5-10 years depending on brand and model. Plus 30 days on labour.

Indicative pricing

The price for copies and duplicates in El Raval typically ranges between 50 and 385 euros. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting any work. Call us, send us a WhatsApp message, or request your quote online — we'll respond in less than 10 minutes during business hours. For apartments in blocks with neighbours, an active community, and natural surveillance, we recommend a medium-to-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 compared to the standard.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to change a cylinder?
30-45 minutes per door for a standard replacement. Full lock change: 60-90 minutes.
Cylinder or full lock?
If the lock is in good condition, just changing the cylinder is the most economical. If it's old or of poor quality, a complete lock change is a better investment.
What does a registered key mean?
A copy is only made by an official distributor with your authorisation, presenting your owner's card. Impossible to copy without your consent. Recommended for all security cylinders.
Which cylinder do you recommend?
Tesa T80, Mottura Champions or Cisa Astral for mid-to-high range. For high security: Cisa Astral S, Mul-T-Lock Junior or Tesa T80 Plus.
Do you cover 24h emergencies?
Yes, in main coastal areas. Urgent opening day and night with a maximum period of 2-3 hours during night-time or holidays.
