Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We make keys and duplicates in La Font d'en Fargues. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. Our second-most common service is electrical work. We update old fuse boxes to comply with current REBT regulations. We install RCDs separated by zone, so if one trips, the whole house doesn't lose power. And we replace old mechanisms in kitchens half-refurbished fifteen years ago. Then there's everything else. Blinds with broken cords, new mosquito nets, lock replacements when a landlord can't remember how many copies of the key the previous manager received, preventative maintenance before high season.

How we work

We have verified professionals available in under 2 hours. Choose the service and request a quote. We work directly with several holiday rental management companies in the area. We coordinate with them when a tenant is present, or we access the property using a deposited key when it's 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 repairs at their Spanish property without taking a flight. Call us, text us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours.

When to call for key duplication in La Font d'en Fargues

We cover Torrevieja centre most frequently due to the density of old buildings. Ramón Gallud street, Paseo Vista Alegre, the streets surrounding the Molino del Agua Park. Here, apartment blocks of five to eight floors have installations from the 80s that no longer comply with REBT. When someone renovates a kitchen or bathroom, they discover unexpected issues in the walls. Every Monday, we address repair requests for flats that have been closed for three months. The problems here are not the same as in other cities. The pattern repeats every year. May arrives, British, Irish, and French owners return to Torrevieja, open the door to the apartment that has been closed since February. They discover surprises. A washing machine stopcock that has failed over the winter and is now dripping onto the utility room floor. An air conditioning thermostat that no longer responds to the remote. Stuck blinds halfway up because the internal cord has dried out. A damp smell in the master bedroom coming from behind the built-in wardrobe.

Materials and brands

Full lock replacement or just the cylinder, depending on the case. Quality brands and new sets of keys. 30-day guarantee on labour. Premium lock cylinders with official manufacturer warranty up to 10 years. Replacing just the cylinder takes 30-45 minutes per door. The existing lock mechanism stays in place, and we replace only the internal cylinder where the key fits. The new key will be completely different and won't work with the old one. This is the most economical option and what we recommend when the lock is of good quality and in good condition. Replacing the entire lock costs more and is justified when the lock is old or of low quality, and we want to take the opportunity to upgrade the security level. The process takes 60-90 minutes per door.

Indicative price

The price for key duplication in La Font d'en Fargues typically ranges between €50 and €385. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials used, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. When a customer calls us for an emergency (keys left inside, lost key, jammed lock), we first assess if non-destructive entry is possible. Most standard locks can be opened using professional techniques (lock picking, impressioning, pin manipulation) in 15-30 minutes without damaging the cylinder. This saves the customer the cost of replacing the entire cylinder. For high-end anti-bumping cylinders, non-destructive entry may not be possible, and the only solution is to drill out the cylinder and replace it, which is more expensive but leaves the door as new with a reinforced security cylinder. For a property on the Costa Blanca with medium risk (an urbanisation with neighbours, not isolated), we recommend a medium-to-high quality anti-bumping cylinder. Brands like Tesa T80, Mottura Champions, or Cisa Astral are what we sell most frequently. These cylinders have security pins that prevent the bumping technique – that sharp blow with a special key that can open any standard cylinder in under 60 seconds. They come with a registered security key, which cannot be copied at any hardware store without authorisation. They also have European EN1303 certification, guaranteeing resistance to tampering for years. Their cost is reasonable, and the actual security improvement is significant.

Frequently asked questions

Can you coordinate with my rental manager in Torrevieja?
We regularly work with most of the holiday rental management companies in the area. We coordinate directly with them to access the property, resolve the issue, and send you the report without you needing to be present.
Do you do 'get ready' visits at the start of the season?
A pre-season visit in March or April to check plumbing, electricity, air conditioning, blinds, and locks. We'll get your property ready for the first tenants or for your own arrival. Booking two months in advance is advisable.
Do you handle emergencies when the flat is rented out?
We call the tenant to arrange access, intervene as soon as possible to minimise disruption, and send a direct report to the owner with photos. Your guest won't have to wait three days.
What about the night and public holiday surcharge?
Yes, and we inform you before confirming the call-out. Night service is between 8 PM and 8 AM, public holidays according to the working calendar. No surprises on the final bill.
