Commercial locksmith in Orihuela Costa, from mall units to beach bars
A new lease in a commercial centre, a member of staff who left with the keys, a shopfront lock that has seized, a back door that will not lock at closing time. Planned around the hours you trade.

Where the businesses are
Commercial centres, a mall and a market street
Without a town centre, the businesses of Orihuela Costa cluster in commercial centres: the Via Park centres by Los Altos, the run of shops and bars in Playa Flamenca, and La Zenia Boulevard, the largest shopping centre in the province of Alicante with more than 150 shops, open since September 2012. On Saturday mornings the market fills Calle Nicolás de Bussi in Playa Flamenca for over a kilometre.
Units in a managed centre often have doors that belong to the centre, not to you: service corridors, fire exits and shared back doors. Those are agreed with the management before anyone touches them.
The work
Locks a business needs looked after
-
Shopfront doors
Aluminium and glass doors with a cylinder and a deadlock, worn by hundreds of openings a day in season.
-
Back and service doors
The door deliveries come through, often the weakest one on the building and the one forced first.
-
Offices and stockrooms
Internal locks for the till, the office and the stock, keyed so the right people carry the right keys.
-
Shutter locks
The lock on a roller shutter that has seized in the salt air. The shutter's motor is a specialist's job.
-
A new tenancy
Every cylinder you are responsible for changed before you open, so the keys in your hand are the only ones.
-
A change of staff
Someone left with a key at the end of the season. The cylinders it opens are changed together.

Questions
Asked by people who run a unit on the coast
Can you come before the shutters go up, or after closing?
Planned work is booked around your trading hours wherever possible, early in the morning or after closing. A door that will not lock at the end of the night is handled as a call-out.
We are taking over a unit. Which locks should we change?
Every lock you will be responsible for: the shopfront, the back or service door, the office and the stockroom. Doors that belong to the centre or the landlord are agreed with them first.
Someone who used to work for us still has a key.
Change the cylinder on every door that key opened. If several doors share one key, they can all be changed together and kept on a single new key.
Can you provide an invoice in the business name?
Yes. Pass on the company name and its NIF or CIF when you book, and that is who the invoice will be addressed to.
Do you work on roller shutters?
The locks on them, yes: a shutter lock that has seized or a key that no longer turns. Motors and the shutter slats themselves are a job for a shutter specialist.

What people usually need next
-
High-security locks
The forced door locking again first; stronger cylinders and a reinforced frame once the Guardia Civil and the insurer have seen it.
After a break-in -
Safe locks
Wardrobe and wall safes that refuse the code, have no power after the winter, or came with a house nobody left the code for.
Safe opening -
A lock change
Fresh euro cylinders, snap-resistant upgrades, worn multipoint gearboxes and seized garden gate locks, on a date you choose.
