May arrives, British, Irish, and French owners return to Torrevieja, open their apartment door 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. Jammed blinds halfway up because the internal tape has dried out. A damp smell in the master bedroom coming from behind the fitted wardrobe.

The typical Torrevieja client does not live here all year round. Their main residence is in Manchester, Lyon, Munich, or Stockholm. Their apartment here is used for their own holidays or rented 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. We work directly with several holiday rental managers in the area; we coordinate with them when there is a tenant inside, or access with a deposited key when the flat is empty. We send photos and video 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 breakdowns in their Spanish home without taking a flight. For scheduled maintenance, pre-season, post-season visits, annual contracts with rental managers, we schedule with ample notice. We recommend giving notice in March for an April visit because in the first fortnight of May, all technicians in Torrevieja are overwhelmed with clients who open their apartment on the same day and simultaneously discover their air conditioning is not cooling.

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

The price for copies and duplicates in La Teixonera usually ranges between 50 and 385 euros. The final figure depends on the condition of the property, the materials, and the working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Call us, message us on WhatsApp or request your quote online — we respond in less than 10 minutes during business hours. When a client 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 with professional techniques (picking, impressioning, pin manipulation) in 15-30 minutes without damaging the cylinder. This saves the client 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 and replace the cylinder, which is more expensive but leaves the door like new with a new reinforced security cylinder.
