Almoradí is an inland town in the Vega Baja with close to 23,000 inhabitants according to the INE. Its municipal area borders Orihuela, Catral, Dolores, Daya Nueva, Benejúzar, Algorfa, San Miguel de Salinas and Los Montesinos, and from Torrevieja it is about twenty-two kilometres by car.
Its history can still be felt as you walk around: the earthquake of 1829 destroyed the town and it was rebuilt on a new layout of straight, wide streets. It is a town of year-round residents, with shops, services and industrial estates, very different from the urbanisation towns of the coast.
Who lives in Almoradí
It is a very settled population. In 2022, according to the INE, slightly less than a quarter of residents were foreign nationals, with Moroccans, Britons and Colombians the largest groups. Seasonal homes count for much less here than in Torrevieja or Rojales, and that changes the kind of work. If you find it easier, write to us on WhatsApp in your own language.

What we are asked for most in Almoradí
Opening homes
In a town of year-round residents, the typical emergency is the usual one: you have left the keys inside, the door has slammed shut or the key has snapped in the lock. We open without causing damage when the lock allows it. We explain it under door opening.
Lock cylinders and locks
Lost keys, worn lock cylinders, a change of tenant or a door that no longer locks properly. Lock cylinder replacement is the most common job, and when the lock inside is also worn, we replace it entirely with one that is compatible with your door.
Shops and premises
More than half of the jobs in Almoradí are in services, and in the town there are many businesses with a metal shutter. A shutter that jams first thing in the morning or a shutter lock that has been forced stops you opening your business. We handle metal shutter repair, replacing their locks and opening premises.
Shutters on ground floor flats
On ground floors facing the street, the window shutter of the home is the point where break-ins are most often attempted. With shutter reinforcement we reinforce shutters so they cannot be lifted or bent, with a steel T-profile under the bottom slat and bolts that lock into the wall. Send us a photo and we will tell you whether yours can be reinforced.
Farmhouses in the outlying villages
In the outlying villages and the countryside around Almoradí there are more isolated houses, farm storehouses and garages with large doors. There, security bolts, grilles or reinforcing old wooden doors usually make sense. Every case is different: with a few photos on WhatsApp we will tell you what is worth doing and what is not.
Residents’ communities
With so many blocks of flats, we also work for communities: main entrance locks, opening garages and storerooms, and locks on communal rooms. If you manage a building in Almoradí, we can check the condition of the entrances and give you a fixed quote for whatever is needed.
How we work
We give you a fixed quote before we start; the quickest way is a photo on WhatsApp. If the job changes when we arrive, we explain it to you and do not carry on without your agreement. You can pay by card, Bizum or cash. Before opening a door, we check that the person asking has the right to enter.
