When the door shuts with the keys inside
In Barcelona many people live in flats in older buildings with a shared street entrance and a front door with a security lock. If the door has just slammed shut, without the key turned, opening it is usually quick and clean. If it is locked with the key or has several locking points, the cylinder and the lock need to be assessed first.
So when you call, tell us whether the door just clicked shut or was locked with the key, whether it is a security or armoured door, and whether the cylinder is protected. That way the technician arrives with the right equipment.
What we do when we arrive
- We check that you are entitled to enter the home or premises.
- We inspect the door, the cylinder and the escutcheon to choose the least invasive technique.
- We explain what we will do and the quote, which is free. We only start with your agreement.
- We open the door and check that the lock still works properly.
If your keys have been lost or stolen
Opening the door solves the emergency, but if your keys could be in someone else's hands it is wise to change the cylinder as soon as possible. We explain how in lock change in Barcelona.

We open doors to shops and offices in Barcelona, for example when the lock fails first thing in the morning or at closing time. For jammed metal shutters, see metal shutter opening.
