Lock replacement in Pilar de la Horadada

In Pilar de la Horadada locks wear out in two different ways depending on where they are. In the village, from use: houses lived in all year, doors opened and shut many times a day, shops raising and lowering their shutters every day. On the coast, from the opposite: flats and bungalows shut up for months by the sea. It is about twenty-five kilometres from Torrevieja and we work in both places.

In the centre of Pilar

The municipality has more than 24,000 inhabitants according to the INE, and in the centre there are many flats and one and two storey houses. They are homes with many years of use behind them, and what we see is wear:

• Bolts that come out with effort or stop halfway.
• Latches that do not spring back into place and doors that do not stay shut.
• Old locks in family homes that no longer give the security needed today.

When the problem is just the cylinder, we change it and that is that. When it is the lock case inside, we replace the lock, looking for a model that fits the cut-out the door already has.

There are also quite a few ground floor shops with a metal roller shutter. If that is your case, see locks for metal shutters.

In Torre de la Horadada and Mil Palmeras

On the coast, salt gets into the lock of the door facing the street or the terrace. If the house is only used in summer, nobody moves that lock for months and when you come back it is hard to get it to turn or the bolts to come out. In Torre de la Horadada and Mil Palmeras it is a common call-out at the start of the season.

If the case is rusted inside, a clean will no longer fix it: it needs replacing.

After buying or between lettings

Lots of holiday homes are sold and let on the Pilar coast. When you buy one, change at least the cylinder; if the lock is years old, replace it entirely. If you are an owner who lets your property, check the locking when a tenant leaves and before the next one moves in.

How we work

1. You send us a photo on WhatsApp of the edge of the door with the lock and another from the inside.
2. We find the replacement that fits so the cut-out does not need enlarging.
3. We give you a fixed quote before we start.
4. We replace the lock, adjust the strike plate and test the key several times.

If we find something different when we take it apart, we tell you and do not carry on without your agreement. You can pay by card, Bizum or cash, and you can message us in your language.
