Yes. We can agree regular checks of the community’s locks and communal doors, with what is covered and how often set out in writing.
Each check covers:
- The entrance: lock, latch, hinges and door closer.
- Doors to the pool, meter rooms, storerooms and roof terraces.
- Manual metal roller shutters on the garage or communal premises.
- Cylinders exposed to the salty air, which are cleaned and lubricated.
We also keep a record card for each door with its lock model and its keys, so an emergency is sorted out sooner because we already know what is there.
The frequency depends on the building: on urbanisations that get busy in summer, a check before the season is a good idea. Anything that has not been agreed is not done without the property manager’s go-ahead. We explain it in lock maintenance.
