Locksmith in Odivelas

About our service in Odivelas

The move-in change is the appointment we would put at the top of anyone's list here. When you buy a flat or a house, the keys you receive are the ones somebody happened to hand over; they are not evidence that no others exist. Estate agents, previous owners, relatives, cleaners and the family who lived there before all had reason to hold one at some point. Exchanging the cylinder takes a single visit, needs no work to the door and gives you a set that starts with you. If the property was rented out before the sale, we would treat it as necessary rather than optional. The newer developments add a second layer of hardware to think about. A vehicle gate with a pedestrian gate beside it, a door from the garage level into the stairwell, storage rooms, bin stores and a communal entrance — all fitted at once, all outdoors or heavily used, and all quietly deteriorating in step. The pedestrian gate is the classic casualty: everyone drives in, so the lock sits unused until it seizes and the gate is left permanently unlatched, which rather defeats the point of the gate. We service and replace that hardware, and where a condominium wants to deal with the whole set we will write down what each item needs so the owners can decide together. Inside the home, the requests are practical. Families ask for doors that a child can open from inside without being able to unlock them from outside, for a back door onto the yard that actually locks, for the garage side door that has never worked, and for a lock that does not require a knack to operate. Older doors in the consolidated streets often still close at a single point and are worth upgrading while the leaf is sound. And whatever the job, the keys matter: we cut them properly and try them in the lock, because a poor copy is the slow way to destroy a good mechanism. Quotes depend on the number of doors, the grade of lock, the closing points and the keys issued.
