Locksmith in Lisboa

About our service in Lisboa

A lock change at handover is a short, tidy job, and it is worth doing properly rather than fitting whatever happens to match the hole. When we come to look at the door we check what is actually there: the type of lock, how many points it closes on, the condition of the door itself and how squarely it sits in its frame. An old single-point lock will always offer less resistance than a modern security lock closing at several points, and on plenty of Lisbon flats the door is perfectly sound while the mechanism inside it has simply reached the end of its working life. Sometimes replacing the cylinder is enough; on other doors it makes more sense to upgrade the whole lock while everything is already open. The second call we get most often is about a lock that has started to grumble. The key has to be lifted, or jiggled, or pushed in while you turn it, and everyone in the household has learned the trick. That is a warning, not a quirk. A mechanism being forced every day wears at both ends and tends to give up at the least convenient moment, often with the key still in it. Dealing with it while the door still opens is a straightforward appointment; dealing with it afterwards is a far heavier intervention. Poorly cut copies do the same damage more slowly, which is why we cut keys properly and test them in the lock before handing them over. Beyond the flat door there is always a second list in a city building: communal street doors that half the residents can no longer turn with their own key, letterbox locks, cellar and storage doors, and the small metalwork jobs on gates and railings that nobody quite owns. We work Monday to Saturday and arrange a slot rather than turning up unannounced, which suits buildings where the entrance is meant to stay shut. If you are standing outside a door that has closed behind you, that is our blocked-door service instead. What a quote comes to depends on the type and grade of lock, the number of locking points, the hardware you choose, the state of the door and how many keys you want cut.
