The Alicante Locksmith Who Explains Everything in English

A mobile locksmith for flats, houses, holiday lets and businesses across the city and its comarca. You hear what is wrong with the lock, what it will cost and what we are about to do, in plain English, before anything is touched.

The phone is answered around the clock, every day of the year, and the work is carried out at any hour too.

Stairs, towers, gated phases

One city, very different front doors

A lockout at the top of Santa Cruz and one in a twelve-storey block on avenida Costa Blanca are not the same job. Knowing which you are in before we set off is what saves the time.

Old houses on stepped lanes

Santa Cruz and the Casco Antiguo

Around ten pedestrian lanes climbing the castle hill, many of them stairways. No car reaches the door: the van stays below and the tools go up by hand. The surrounding old town is ring I of the Low Emission Zone, with camera-controlled access.

Beach towers and blocks

Playa de San Juan

Planned from 1959 along avenida Costa Blanca and avenida de las Naciones, with blocks of up to twelve storeys. About one home in five is classed as empty in the city’s housing study. A lock left unturned for months is the one most likely to seize.

Detached houses and townhouses

Cabo de las Huertas, Albufereta and Vistahermosa

Houses on their own plots between San Juan beach and Albufereta: garden gates, pedestrian doors and main doors, often each with its own key.

Gated phases with pools

Urbanova

South of the city near the airport road: eight private phases, each with its own perimeter. Tell us the phase and the block, or send a location pin, and the right gate gets found first time.

Also covered: San Vicente del Raspeig, Sant Joan d’Alacant, Mutxamel, El Campello, Busot, Aigües, Xixona, La Torre de les Maçanes, Agost. Every district and town, and what the work looks like there

What happens when you ring

  1. Three questions

    Where you are (street, building or urbanisation phase), which door or lock it is, and whether the key is lost, broken, inside or just refusing to turn.

  2. A price and an honest window

    A figure for the job as described, and an arrival estimate based on where the technician is at that moment, not a slogan. If WhatsApp is easier, send a photo and a location pin.

  3. The door, then the paperwork

    Non-destructive methods first. If the lock has to go, you hear why before it does. You get an itemised invoice your landlord, agency or insurer can use.

No testimonials here

Four things you can hold us to

A new business with a page full of glowing quotes is a business inventing them. Until real reviews exist in a public place, these are the promises to judge us by. Why there are no reviews yet.

  • The price is agreed before anyone travels, and again before any change of plan.
  • Opening without damage is tried first, wherever the lock allows it.
  • You are spoken to in English, or Spanish, from the first call to the invoice.
  • No arrival time is promised that nobody can keep.

Questions people ask before they call

Will the person who comes speak English?
Yes. The call, the explanation of what has gone wrong, the price and the invoice are all handled in English, or in Spanish if your landlord, administrator or neighbour needs to follow along.
Do you only work inside the city of Alicante?
No. Every district of the city is covered, from Santa Cruz to Urbanova, and so is the rest of l’Alacantí: San Vicente del Raspeig, Sant Joan d’Alacant, Mutxamel, El Campello, Busot, Aigües, Xixona, La Torre de les Maçanes and Agost.
How much will it cost?
You are given a price on the phone for the job as you describe it, before anyone sets off, and told before any work starts if what we find at the door is different.
Can I get a key copied while you are here?
No. We do not cut or copy keys of any kind, and we do not make, supply or program car keys. We open doors and vehicles and fit and repair locks. A new lock comes with its own set of keys from the manufacturer.
Will you ask for proof that I live there?
Yes, once the door is open and before we leave: an ID document with the address, a rental contract, a utility bill or the owner or manager confirming by phone. It protects you as much as anyone.

Tell us where you are and what the lock is doing

A two-minute call is usually enough to know what the job is, what it costs and roughly when someone will be there.
