Baix Penedès · Tarragona
Keys shut inside the car is the one emergency with no waiting room: it happens in a car park, often with the engine running or someone still inside. It is opened without forcing the lock or touching the electronics — and with a hire car, the rental agreement is what we need to see.
The rate is the same in all 54 towns we cover: distance is never charged separately. What moves the amount is the hour, the day and the type of lock.

Tell us the make, model and year
And whether anyone or any animal is inside, because that changes the order things happen in.
2
Opened without forcing anything
The lock is not drilled and the electronics are not touched. Nothing has to be reprogrammed afterwards.

Documents checked
The vehicle papers in your name, or the rental agreement if it is hired. It is a legal requirement and it takes a moment.
Bellvei has 603 cars per thousand residents, against 461 across our towns. Where the car is essential for everything, keys shut inside stop being a rare mishap and become a regular callout — especially with current fobs, which stay inside and lock the doors on their own. It is opened without forcing the lock or touching the electronics, and we need to see the vehicle documents in your name, or the rental agreement if it is hired.
27.2 % of the homes in Bellvei are over 120 m², against a 12.8 % median across the towns we cover, and at 298 people per km² the place is spread out. With a detached house the problem is rarely just the front door: there is a gate, a garage shutter, sometimes a garden door, each with its own mechanism. There is no porter or administrator to ring, and no neighbour across the landing holding a spare. For these we normally bring the van even when it is urgent, because the odds of needing parts are different.
Renting accounts for 13.6 % of main homes in Bellvei, below the 18.5 % median. Where people own, locks last far longer than they should: they get changed when they fail, not when the occupant changes, and we see cylinders that have been in place for decades. If a set of keys once went missing and nothing was done, that is the job worth booking.

25-35 min from our base in Cubelles, worked out over the real road routes with room to set off and for traffic. At rush hour or in August it can run longer — and if it is going to, we tell you on WhatsApp before you commit rather than when we arrive.
From 89 €, VAT included. The final amount depends on the hour, the day and the type of lock, and you get it in full on WhatsApp before anyone sets off. The distance to Bellvei is not added to the price — the rate is the same across all the towns we cover.
A call-out with diagnosis and no work done is 49 €, and you are told that before anyone leaves, so there is no surprise at the end. If the problem can be solved over WhatsApp, we solve it over WhatsApp and it costs nothing.
Yes, 24 hours a year round. The night and holiday rates are higher than a Tuesday morning, and you are told which one applies when you message. There is no hidden surcharge.
All of them, if you can. In Bellvei a lot of properties have a gate, a garage shutter and a front door, each with its own mechanism, and they do not open the same way or with the same tools. Telling us which one — and sending a photo of the lock if you can — is the difference between one trip and two.
Tell us what happened and where you are. You get a price and a time before anyone sets off.
