Hello,

I am looking for some feedback regarding changing locks. We have an apartment on phase 1.

The lock and key are Mottura brand. I beleive this is different to some of the locks/keys on other phases of the resort. Does anyone have any experience with changing this type of lock/key and what might be involved?

Many thanks in advance.

Regards

Also, as an afterthought, is it easy to get extra gate keys made?

From what I have found out so far, there is a place in Torre Pacheco that can make these keys. I was wondering if these can be easily made elsewhere, the UK for instance. Any advice welcome.

Thank you very much.

Regards

Hello Graham, I have sent you a PM.

My issue is that I only received 1 door key. This leaves me to believe that the possibility of more door keys floating around in the hands of others is rather high.

I remember reading another thread where an owner said that you can change the locks yourself easily enough. However, I think it was a different phase of the resort that was the subject of the thread and that the locks might be different to phase 1.

I suppose a locksmith will be the answer but I don't know their prices so I was looking at other options.

Regards

Hi All

Not had any experience off front door keys being cut as we got about 5 when we purchased but only one gate key. Tried allsorts of places in the UK and no one could do it. We asked security at the gate house and they gave us a business card for a locksmith (dont have the details at the min as i'm in the UK but out next week so will let you know). The 'locksmith' was like an ironmongers yard, the old lady there asked what block and how many (some spanish needed!) and cut what we needed from the one we had. The old dear was shouting at everyone as they came in, it was an hilarious experience! When she came back with the keys I paid in a load of change that I had laid out on the table and she was made up! Couldn't thank us enough! 

I now have plenty of spare sets. I'm in phase one so not sure if she has all keys but worth a visit - will update details next week.

Hi del and max we got quoted 150 euros to get a new lock and keys for phase 1 as they are different from the other phases. We did not have ours done as we got 4 full sets of keys . However I have fitted patio door bolts as we are ground floor

Hello Cathy, sounds like you had an entertaining visit with the old lady. Look forward to an update from you after you settle back in, many thanks.

Hello Paulpins, yes, I suspected phase 1 would be different from the rest. Do you by any chance have the details of the locksmith who quoted you? Many thanks.

Regards

We got 5 keys to the apartment and one gate key. Like others have said, there is a blacksmith in Torre Pacheco that made the gates and can make a copy gate key for 10 euros. PM me if you need the details.

Hi All

Yes the place I got my gate keys is in Torre Pacheco, calle Portugal. Just go in and tell them your block number and its about 7euros per key. Another thread has been started by 'susankeeping' re outer keys and she describes the location.
