Car lockout in Reus

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.

How the job is done

  1. 1

    Tell us the make, model and year

    And whether anyone or any animal is inside, because that changes the order things happen in.

  2. 2

    Opened without forcing anything

    The lock is not drilled and the electronics are not touched. Nothing has to be reprogrammed afterwards.

  3. 3

    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.

What Reus is actually like to work in

More tourist beds than residents

Reus registers 924 hotel beds for 111,911 registered residents, where the median across our towns is 304. The place fills with people who do not live here, and a good share of the summer callouts are exactly that: holiday flats where the key belongs to an owner nobody can reach, doors that shut themselves with the luggage inside, hire cars with the keys still in them. In those cases the lock is not the first question — the first question is who is entitled to have it opened, because without that nobody touches the door.

A lot of renting, and cylinders that change hands

21.6 % of the main homes in Reus are rented, against a 18.5 % median. Where there is a lot of renting the most repeated job is not an emergency at all: it is the cylinder change between one tenant and the next, booked in advance and done in half an hour. It always brings the same question, so here it is. The owner can ask for it once the property is free. The tenant can change it during the contract, but has to leave the lock as it was — or hand over a copy — when they go. And for an opening, a rental contract in your name is perfectly good proof of address.

Mostly flats

9.7 % of homes in Reus are over 120 m², below the 12.8 % median. It is a stock of flats, with the practical advantage that someone is usually close by: a neighbour, an administrator, a porter. Before anyone travels, it is worth ruling out the spare key that is two doors away.

Car lockout in Reus: common questions

How long will you take to get to Reus?

45-65 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.

How much is car lockout in Reus?

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 Reus is not added to the price — the rate is the same across all the towns we cover.

What if it turns out nothing needs doing?

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.

Do you come out at night and on public holidays?

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.

I am staying in a holiday flat in Reus. Can you open it?

Only with the owner or the agency behind it — a booking confirmation is not the same as being entitled to have a lock opened, and no locksmith working legally can treat it as such. Send us the booking and the contact and we deal with them directly; it is usually one message. If the flat is managed by an agency they nearly always answer faster than you would expect, because it is their lock.

I rent in Reus. Can I change the lock myself?

You can change it during the contract, but you have to leave the lock as it was — or hand over a copy — when you move out. The owner can have it changed once the property is free. If you have lost your keys and the landlord is not reachable, changing the cylinder and keeping the old one to hand back is the usual way through, and it is the cheaper option too.
