Where is the door you need help with?
Aspe is a compact town, but the job changes with the place. Pick the one that sounds like yours.
-
In the old centre
The Plaza Mayor and several streets round it are closed to traffic, so the van stops at the edge and the last stretch is walked. Old town-house doors often have a mortice lock older than anyone living there.
-
In a flat in one of the quarters
La Coca, La Prosperidad and Huerta Mayor are the densest part of town: a street door, a stair and then your own door, usually with a euro cylinder.
-
In an urbanisation or out on a finca
Santa Elena, San Isidro, Mirador de La Alcaná, and Montesol, which has grown from 40 registered residents in 2010 to about 137. Beyond them, country houses with a gate, a store and a pool house.
-
At a unit on one of the estates
Tres Hermanas, Avenida de Navarra and Aljau, and the Alicante road: footwear, furniture and trade units. Opening and lock changes only.
The door schedule
Every job this business takes on, one line each
- Emergency call-out I’m outside my own door and it can’t wait. Keys left inside, a key snapped off in the cylinder, a lock that jams just as you need to leave. Somebody answers at any hour and tells you plainly how long the drive will be.
- Door opening This door, this kind of lock: how does it get opened?. Old town-house doors, flat doors behind a shared street door, armoured doors, villa doors and finca gates, opened through the latch or the cylinder wherever the door allows. Drilling only with your say-so.
- Lock change & repair The lock is tired, or I want a different one. A new euro cylinder, an anti-snap one, an old mortice lock brought back or replaced, a multipoint mechanism that has gone heavy. Booked for a day that suits you.
- Fincas & villas The house is out of town, with a gate and outbuildings. Country houses in the parajes, villas in Santa Elena, Alcaná and Montesol: the front door, the gate on the track, the store, the pump room and the pool house, and locks that have sat unused for months.
- Units, shops & offices It’s the nave, the shop or the office. Industrial units on Tres Hermanas, Avenida de Navarra and the Alicante road, opened and fitted with new locks, and the doors of shops and offices in town. Arranged around opening hours.
- Locked car The car is locked and the keys are inside it. The keys are on the seat or in the boot and every door is locked. The car is opened without damage, and that is the whole service: no car keys of any kind.
- After a break-in Someone has forced the door, or tried to. A forced door made to close and lock on the first visit. Afterwards, when you are ready, a stronger cylinder, a guard plate or a high-security lock.
- Safes The safe won’t open, or I want one fitted. Safes that refuse the code, have gone dark with a flat battery or came with a house and no papers. New safes bolted down so they cannot be carried away.
Before you ring
How a call to Locksmith Aspe goes
-
Say where you are
A street and number in town; the urbanisation and the street; or, for a finca, the paraje and a location pin. In English or Spanish: people born in the United Kingdom are the largest group of Aspe residents born abroad (INE register, 2022).
-
Say what the door is doing
Pulled shut with the keys inside, a key that turns but does nothing, a key snapped in the cylinder, a lock that grinds. A photo on WhatsApp often answers the next question before it is asked.
-
Hear how long the drive is
You are told plainly, from where the van is at that moment. Nobody promises ten minutes; the honest figure lets you decide.
-
Agree the price at the door
The locksmith looks at the lock first and the price is settled with you before any work begins.
For anything that will not wait until morning, the emergency page explains what happens at night and at weekends.
What you can hold us to
Five commitments on every job
- An honest estimate of the drive. Given on the phone, from where the van really is, before anyone sets off. No promise of ten minutes.
- The price agreed before the work. The lock is looked at first and the price is settled with you at the door, before any tool touches it.
- The lock before the drill. Doors are opened through the latch or the cylinder wherever they allow it; drilling only with your agreement.
- Only what the door needs. A repair when a repair will do; a new lock only when the old one has had its day.
- Your language. English or Spanish, on the phone, on WhatsApp and at the door.
There is no public Google listing yet, so no reviews are shown anywhere on this site. The reviews page explains why.
Asked on the phone
Five things people in Aspe ask first
My house is a finca at the end of an unpaved track. Will the van find it?
Yes, if you help it. Send a WhatsApp location pin from the gate rather than the nearest road, and say what the gate looks like. The parajes round Aspe have few house numbers, and a pin saves the most time.
While you are here, could you copy a key for my cleaner?
No. This business does not cut, copy or supply keys of any kind, for houses, gates, padlocks or cars. It opens doors, cars and safes, and fits and repairs locks. A new cylinder comes with the keys the manufacturer packs with it.
How is the price settled, and how can I pay?
The price of the job is agreed with you at the door, before any work starts. You can pay by cash, card or Bizum.
Will whoever comes speak English?
Yes. Calls, WhatsApp messages and the visit itself can all be in English or in Spanish, whichever you are more comfortable with.
I live in Hondón de los Frailes, not in Aspe. Is that covered?
Yes. Hondón de los Frailes, Hondón de las Nieves and Agost are covered as well as Aspe itself, Montesol and the urbanisations. The page on where we go lists what reaches each place.
Guides
Read before you need a locksmith
- Inherited a house in the old centre, and nobody has the keys
The family house near the Plaza Mayor is yours now, and the keys vanished years ago. The papers to gather, the neighbours to ask, how the door is opened, and what to do with the lock afterwards.
- Locked out of a nave in Tres Hermanas: which door to open
The staff are outside the unit and nobody has a key. Which door is worth opening first, what to have ready, and why the roller door is rarely the answer.
- The caseta on a finca: pump room, store and pool house
The house has a proper lock; the little buildings round it often have a bent hasp and a rusty padlock. What each outbuilding of a finca near Aspe really needs.
