Locksmith in Loures

About our service in Loures

On a property with land, security is a question of the perimeter and the outbuildings rather than the house door, and the hardware involved lives outside in every season. Field and yard gates, the gate onto the lane, a barn or store, a tool room, a pump house, the door to a garage that was once a stable — the locks on these seize, rust and get bent when a gate is dragged rather than swung. The failure is often in the gate rather than the lock: a post that has moved, a leaf that has sagged, a keep that no longer sits where it did. We repair and rehang the metalwork, refit or replace the hardware, and where a property has half a dozen outbuildings we can arrange for one key to open them all, which is far more practical than a ring nobody can identify. Because the distances here are real, we prefer to work in two stages: a visit to look at everything and take measurements, and a second agreed visit to fit, with anything unusual ordered in between. It saves the frustration of someone arriving with the wrong hardware for a gate that was made by a local smith forty years ago. Where a house or a quinta is used only at weekends or for part of the year, that first visit is also when we list the openings that no longer close — usually the ones nobody uses. In the urban parishes the work looks like the rest of the Lisbon periphery. Flats change hands and are re-let, and the lock is very often the one that was fitted when the block was built, closing at a single point on keys that have been copied for decades. Communal entrances take heavy traffic and eventually stop latching, which quietly removes a layer of protection from every flat inside. We change cylinders on handover, upgrade tired locks on doors that are otherwise sound, repair entrances, letterboxes and storage doors and cut proper key sets. What a quote comes to depends on the number of openings, the grade of hardware, the state of the gates or doors and how many keys are required.
