The Man Behind the Company.
I like to think I´m a happy-go-lucky kind of person, but professional at the same time. I´m always up for a chat and a cup of tea!
I moved to Spain after travelling the world on the cruise ships, working in the casinos. Previous to this, I lived and worked in Northampton. I spent a little under 20 years working in the local casino.
After moving to Spain, I spent three years working with an Argentinean company, manufacturing security doors and windows in Torrevieja. This is where my interest for locks and security began. As a kid I would always take things apart to see how they worked before putting them back together again - drove my mum mad!
For the last seven years I have enjoyed working part - time at San Javier airport, assisting disabled passengers on and off the planes. This was fantastic for meeting people and enjoying the banter and chats with people from all walks of life. So if I look familiar, that´s probably where you know me from!
At the same time as working at San Javier, I began learning my trade as a locksmith. I am very honest and trustworthy - I have had CRB checks in the UK whilst in the casinos and am also a member of the UK Locksmith Association, meaning that I have been vetted both here in Spain and the UK to become a qualified and registered locksmith.
House Lockout
It always makes me smile to see clients´ facial expressions.. Joy and relief followed by shock!
Garage Locks
Garage locks are less expensive to change. So I would recommend a new product rather than repairing an old product.
No problem, just give me a call.
Locks Changed/Repaired/ Upgraded
The high temperatures and dust in Spain can cause locks to stiffen and jam. Lots of people tend to put oil on them, which isn´t the right thing to do. The heat actually sets the oil which then leads to more trouble.
Electronic Locks/Key Pads
Wifi locks are very big in the US at the moment. But unless you´re living in Spain permanently, I wouldn´t recommend them for your home. However if you rent your property out regularly, I would recommend them, as no keys are needed. It´s as simple as sending a text message with a code.
Rekey/ Master key
A good system where you, the owner has one key to fit all your doors and other keys are coded in such a way that only doors (of your choice) can be accessed.
Non-Destructive Entry
As long as only the lock itself is jammed, e.g, a snapped key, no damage to the door will be created. However, at times, alternate methods need to be used to gain entry.
