- Mònica Vidal10 reviews · Google
I hired this locksmith to solve two problems: a large door that wouldn't close and a small one that wouldn't open. Now both work perfectly. Best of all, he was very professional and friendly, and explained everything as he went. I'd recommend him 100%, without a doubt.
- Manuel Rojas15 reviews · Google
Excellent experience. He sent me a quote with all my options, everything explained in incredible detail. Punctual and fairly priced. On top of that, a friendly and very polite person. I think he deserves a score higher than 5. Thanks, Alex!

He opened my door without breaking it at 1:30 on a Friday night, and charged a very fair price. Thanks, Álex!

A Tarragona locksmith, not a call centre
I work alone and subcontract to nobody. When you call, you speak to me; and the person who opens your door is me.
No call centres and no middlemen: when you call, you speak to me, and the person who opens your door is me.
I'm Alex, a self-employed locksmith who loves his work. I'm always studying and devising new opening techniques, as well as new ways to improve my clients' security.
I design and build my own gadgets to do my job as well as possible (they're not for sale, not even to other locksmiths). One of my latest designs lets me open latest-generation electronic locks, armoured doors, invisible deadbolts, high-end bolts and more, without damaging anything and in record time.
My work brings together everything I enjoy: mechanics, physics, challenges, problem-solving, precision, ingenuity, the human side… I love it.
Being self-employed and working alone, I give myself complete freedom to do things the way I believe they should be done, answering to no one but my clients' satisfaction.
My prices are fair and honest for quality work, and they're the ones I quote on the phone, with no extras. I'll always do everything I can to solve your problem in the fastest, most effective and most economical way.
I always carry out and issue an invoice, and you can pay conveniently by card or Bizum.
My work is fully guaranteed. If you have any questions, call me — I'm here to help.
When to change your lock?
Protect your home and your family. These are the situations where it's advisable to upgrade your lock:
If your cylinder or lock is more than 10 years old, it's very likely obsolete and can be opened quickly, silently and without leaving any marks.
If you didn't change the cylinder when you moved in, you can't know who else has keys to your home. Previous tenants or their relatives could have copies.
If your neighbours have good escutcheons with good cylinders and you have an obsolete lock… guess where burglars would rather break in?
If it doesn't open well, the key is hard to turn or you have to pull the handle, it's warning you there's a problem or it's reaching the end of its life. Get ahead of it and avoid trouble.
If you value what's in your home even a little, upgrade at least to a decent lock. For little money you can raise your security a great deal.
I recommend leaving a couple of copies of your keys with close relatives in case you lose them or lock them inside.
What everyone asks
In my case the average arrival time is 15 minutes in Tarragona city. For nearby towns such as Reus, Salou, El Morell, La Secuita or El Catllar, my estimate is around 30 minutes. I'm a self-employed locksmith, and because I don't work through middlemen the response is immediate.
Yes — in 98% of cases I carry out non-destructive entries. I use advanced techniques and specialised tools (some of my own design) to open your door without damaging the woodwork, the lock or the cylinder. If it's an exceptional situation that calls for drilling or forcing, I'll tell you before I do anything.
I work to a fixed, transparent price:
- Working hours (Tarragona city): 69€ + VAT.
- Evenings (20:00 to 00:00): 99€ + VAT.
- Small hours (00:00 to 08:00): 139€ + VAT.
Surcharges: weekends and public holidays (+29€) and call-outs beyond Tarragona city (from +19€ to +59€ depending on distance). You'll always know the final cost before I start.
Within Tarragona city I don't charge a call-out fee; outside the city I do. If you need me I'll set it all out in the quote in advance — my quotes are free and carry no obligation. There's no small print and no hidden costs.
I'm not tied to or affiliated with any particular brand, which leaves me free to genuinely recommend what the customer needs. I work with the most secure, best-regarded brands on the market, including Keso, M&C, SAG, Kaba, Fichet, Mottura, Disec and others. As a security specialist I'll recommend the best option for your type of door and your needs, with no obligation to a single supplier.
I'm Alex, a local self-employed locksmith in Tarragona. I'm not a call centre or a multi-service company that subcontracts to third parties and inflates the price. When you call, you speak to me; and when your door is opened, I'm the one who turns up. That means direct, honest and cheaper service.
Yes — my main coverage includes Tarragona, Reus, Salou, Vila-seca, Altafulla, El Catllar, La Secuita and El Morell. If you live in a nearby town that isn't on the list, call me and I'll confirm availability.
It depends. If your cylinder is low quality then yes, it can be a good idea, because leaving the key in and turned can prevent entry by bumping and impressioning. On the other hand, in an emergency nobody with the original key would be able to open the door from outside to help you. The best solution is to fit a high-security cylinder with a double clutch, so you get the best of both worlds.
No! That should only ever be a last resort. It will work at first, but over time the dust and dirt particles bind to the oil, compact, and cause the cylinder to fail. The first choice is always the product made specifically by the cylinder's manufacturer; if there isn't one (and provided no lubricant has been applied before) I'd recommend graphite powder, the thinnest of layers — it polishes the components and makes the cylinder run more smoothly.
It's hard to know without the right knowledge. You can search your cylinder's model online alongside the words "impressioning" or "bumping". Don't be alarmed if you find videos of your cylinder being opened in seconds without damage — unfortunately around 80% of the cylinders fitted today can be opened in seconds. Simply replace the cylinder with a secure one as soon as you can.
