Baix Penedès · Tarragona
The whole lock gets replaced when the mechanism is damaged, when there has been a break-in attempt, or when what is fitted is simply not enough any more. If you have only lost the keys, the cylinder alone is usually enough and costs less — we will tell you which one you actually need.
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.
1
We look at the door first
If you have only lost keys, the cylinder alone is usually enough and costs a good deal less. We say so — a full lock change you did not need is not a sale worth making.
2
Choose what actually fits
Not every lock suits every door. Thickness, frame and whether it is multipoint decide what can go in.
3
Fitted and adjusted
A new lock in a door that has dropped will bind within months, so the door gets adjusted at the same time.
4
Checked and handed over
It is opened and closed several times with you there, and you keep the old lock.
L'Arboç has 533 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.
At 404 people per km² against 1,535 median, L'Arboç is thinly settled. That has one practical consequence when you message: the time to the town is not the time to your door, because there are real distances inside the boundary. Send the full address, and the name of the urbanisation if you are in one — it sharpens the estimate considerably.
With 57 hotel beds against a median of 304, L'Arboç does not live off visitors staying over. The callouts come from residents and from local businesses rather than people passing through, which simplifies the legal side: whoever messages can almost always prove the address on the spot.

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 99 €, 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 L'Arboç 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.
That is exactly why emergencies go by motorbike. In a place as dense as L'Arboç the last hundred metres decide the arrival time far more than the road does, and a van circling for a space is time you spend on the landing. For booked installation work we do need the van, so we agree a time when there is somewhere to leave it.
Tell us what happened and where you are. You get a price and a time before anyone sets off.
