# Who comes to the door, and how the work is done

Locksmith San Juan de Alicante is a mobile locksmith working from Sant Joan d’Alacant: a van, the tools for the doors of this town, and a phone that is answered. No shop counter and no call centre in between.

## The business in a few facts

- Mobile service based in Sant Joan d’Alacant. There are no premises open to the public.
- The phone is answered 24 hours a day, every day. Emergencies, door openings and locked cars are attended at any hour; planned work is booked in normal hours.
- English and Spanish, on the phone, by message and at the door.
- 22 years working as a locksmith.
- Payment by cash, card or Bizum.

## Four rules that every job follows

### The price before the work

What will be done and what it costs are agreed with you at the door, before anything is touched. If something unexpected turns up, work stops and you are asked again.

### The quiet method first

Latch, then cylinder, then, only with your agreement, the drill. A door opened without damage is a door you do not have to pay to repair.

### Proof of the right to open

Every time, for every door, car and safe. It protects you as much as anyone: nobody else can ring and have your door opened.

### An estimate, not a promise

You are told honestly how long the drive is likely to take. Being reachable at any hour is not the same as being round the corner, and no number of minutes is promised to win a call.

## Why a locksmith for Sant Joan in particular

Sant Joan d’Alacant is small, under ten square kilometres, but its doors cover five centuries: huerta towers from the late 15th century onwards, fincas and summer villas of the 18th and 19th, and a town that grew from about 7,200 people in 1970 to 26,834 today, with seven tenths of its built floor area dating from 1980 to 2009. Each of those eras has its own kind of door and lock, and they are all on the same few streets.

The town is also more international than it looks: almost one resident in five was born abroad, and the hospital and the UMH health campus bring people from everywhere. That is why the site is in English and the phone is answered in English as well as Spanish.

## The jobs always turned down

So that nobody rings for something that cannot be done, none of the following is offered here, in any form:

- No key cutting and no key copying, for any lock at all
- No spare or extra keys: not for a front door, a gate, a garage, a storeroom or a letterbox
- No car keys of any kind: none cut, supplied, replaced or programmed
- No transponder chips and no remote fobs for vehicles
- No work on ignition switches or ignition barrels
- No keys for motorbikes, scooters or vans

With cars, the service is [opening a car locked with the keys inside](https://locksmithsanjuandealicante.es/car-lockout-san-juan-de-alicante/), and that is all. For houses, everything from [the night call-out](https://locksmithsanjuandealicante.es/emergency-locksmith-san-juan-de-alicante/) to [a booked lock change](https://locksmithsanjuandealicante.es/lock-change-san-juan-de-alicante/) is covered.
