Can't vouch for them, but as I've just been tidying the garden a locksmith gave me his card

I've changed all the locks on our house myself, with the euro locks it's dead easy, the only tools you need are a tape measure, to get the right size, and a x head screwdriver

Unless you've got a real problem like being locked out or a key snapped in a lock most general builders/handy men can change locks

Anubis? That'll only be any good if you live in a pyramid.

As previous -I change the locks myself and occasionally rotate and service.  The dry climate can can sometimes make it stiff and unable to turn.  A quick squirt of WD 40 is all that is needed - not too much though.  Change is quick and if you have to change the lock take it to a hardware store (Brico etc) and get them to match the size up as they can vary slightly.

Your friend may be able to claim at least part on his insurance.

He's not local Mushte......it's a scam.
Google locksmith for various locations up and down the costa and you will see the same add, the only thing that changes is the location!!
Nice work if you can get away with it.

Have used a guy from Torrevieja who is English and not at all over priced.  Contact 24 hours a day 647 151 972.  He has helped a neighbour who was locked out and also replaced some heavy duty locks for me all at extremely reasonable prices.
