Commercial locksmith Jávea, fitted round your opening hours
A shutter that will not lift on the front at the port, a glass door at the Arenal that no longer locks, the back door of a restaurant onto a lane, the office upstairs. Planned work booked before opening or after closing; a shutter that fails at opening time is dealt with at once.
Commercial locksmith Jávea, in three trading streets
Xàbia trades in three places, and the doors in each are different.
-
Duanes de la Mar
The port quarter, busy all year with shops, restaurants and bars. Fronts onto the street and back doors onto narrow lanes, and the llotja with its fish auction on weekday afternoons.
-
The Arenal
Restaurants and shops along the promenade of the only sandy beach, many with roller shutters and glass doors, and stalls on the front in summer.
-
The old town
Shops round the church and the municipal market, in narrow streets, with the weekly market filling Plaça de la Constitució on Thursday mornings. Planning lock work round market day.
Shutters, glass doors, back doors and offices
- Roller shutters: central locks, side bolts and padlocks that seize in salt air or rust.
- Glass and aluminium shop doors: hook locks, floor bolts and cylinders.
- Back doors: the one onto a lane, the one staff use, the one that should be locked and often is not.
- Offices and hotels: cylinders on internal doors, after staff changes.
Shops, bars, restaurants, offices and hotels. A takings safe that will not open is on the safes page.
-
A photo of the shutter or door
Sent on WhatsApp with the times you are open.

The work and the keys

An invoice for the business
With your details, ready for the books.
After a break-in at the shop
Ring the Guardia Civil or the Policia Local first and leave everything as it is. Then the forced shutter or door is made to lock the same day, and a stronger cylinder or extra bolt can follow: repairs after a break-in. If a staff member has left with a key, the answer is a new cylinder on each door that key opens: changing the locks.
Shop and restaurant owners ask
The shutter padlock has seized and we open in an hour. What can be done?
Ring straight away. A seized shutter lock is opened and either freed or replaced on the spot, so the shutter can go up and still lock at night.
Can the lock work be done after we close?
Yes, planned work can be booked for before opening or after closing, so the shop is never left without a lock while customers are in.
A member of staff left and kept a key. What should change?
The cylinder that key opens, and any other door on the same key. One new cylinder per door, with keys that only the people you choose hold.
Do you send an invoice for the business?
Yes, an invoice with the business’s details. Payment by cash, card or Bizum.
A shop or restaurant in Xàbia that will not lock up?
Send a photo of the shutter or the door on WhatsApp and the hours you trade.
