Locksmith in Benfica

About our service in Benfica

The single most useful appointment we make in Benfica is the one booked between tenancies. A flat that has been let for a few years has issued keys to tenants, to their partners and friends, to a cleaner, possibly to a letting agent and to whoever was called in for repairs, and none of that is recoverable. Landlords who change the cylinder as a matter of routine at each handover are not being suspicious, they are closing a file. It takes one short visit, the door is untouched, and the incoming tenant gets a set that is genuinely complete. The same reasoning applies to anyone buying a flat here, where the chain of previous occupants is usually longer than the paperwork suggests. Ground-floor and first-floor flats bring a second conversation. A door or window that can be reached from a shared yard, a light well or the street deserves better than the specification that was standard when the building went up. That does not mean turning the place into a fortress: it means the entrance closing at more than one point, keeps that are anchored into solid material rather than tired timber, and grilles and gates on the accessible openings that are actually fixed and actually lock. Plenty of the grilles we look at here are perfectly good ironwork with hardware that gave up years ago, and repairing the fittings is a better outcome than replacing the metal. The rest of the work is maintenance that gets postponed until it cannot be. A key that has to be worried into position, a mechanism that turns freely on one side and grinds on the other, a communal door with a lock that no longer suits any of the keys in the building, a letterbox that has not closed since somebody forced it. All of these take less trouble and less disruption when they are dealt with as appointments rather than emergencies — if you are already standing outside a shut door, that is our blocked-door service. A quote here depends on the grade of lock, the number of closing points, the state of the door and how many keys you need cut.
