In this post we look at a service that most of use will probably already have used, or may need in the future, a locksmith!
There are actually many different reasons why you could need the services of a locksmith in Spain, but one of the most common is when you have locked yourself out of your house or apartment. It is that awful moment when you slam the door shut and you have that cold feeling that the keys are still sitting on the shelf inside the property.
If you have taken your security seriously too, there will be no easy way to break into your property either so the only alternative is to call the professionals and get a locksmith in.
Example:
You have a holiday home in Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol and you are juggling getting the beach bag ready for the kids while they run in and out of the house excited about going to the beach. You manage to get the kids outside standing still in one place and quickly shut the door before they run off again. Just as it slams shut you realise you have left the keys on the table…it is too late, the door is now firmly closed and you are officially locked out!
So what do you do next?
The easy and fastest solution is to call a locksmith who can get to you and open the door and repatriate you with your keys, someone like Security of Spain for example can get to you quickly in an emergency.
You should be sure to check the credentials of the locksmith you have chosen. You should check their website, look at their Social Media and take a look at reviews. Using Security of Spain again as an example, you will see that they have an up to date and informative website detailing their experience, lots of great reviews on Facebook and in Google and they post useful information regularly.
In fact if you are on the Costa del Sol, you really should make a note of their details, just in case.

Other reasons to use a locksmith in Spain
Being one of the most popular places to purchase holiday homes in the sun, everyday property buyers complete on their dream home and get handed the keys.
This is the point at which you should think of a locksmith. As soon as you have the keys you should consider who else could still have copies of those keys. Friends, cleaners, maintenance people and even family members of the previous owners could still have copies of the keys.
While we are not suggesting they will use them to get into your new home, you never know the credibility of all key holders.
That is why a locksmith in Spain will ALWAYS suggest that you have your locks changed as soon as you can so you simply remove that security risk.
