In Pollensa we have professional technicians capable of providing any service related to the locksmith but there is always a group of services that, by circumstances, have more demand than the rest.
LOCK CHANGING
As discussed, the best defence against break-ins starts with a good lock. There's no point having a high-security door if the lock can be opened by a thief in seconds.
Thieves know every attack technique — bumping, picking, and even the credit card method, which, rudimentary as it sounds, works perfectly well against old locks.
At Antonio Coll Locksmiths, we recommend fitting locks with a minimum of three security stars, which provides near-total protection. For complete peace of mind, a five-star or total-security lock resists every known technique — ideal for luxury homes or beachfront properties, which are primary targets for organised gangs.
Security locks also come with anti-copy key technology, ensuring no duplicate can be made without authorisation — highly advisable if you manage several sets of keys and risk one going missing.
HOME SECURITY SYSTEMS
To tackle break-ins, one of the best approaches is to address the weak points of your home — usually exterior doors and windows, which are rarely built to resist forced entry.
For windows, one of the most popular options is security grilles, which can be fitted in minutes and are very hard to bypass. Another option is a reinforced locking mechanism that prevents the window from being forced open.
Exterior access doors — terrace doors, roof-terrace doors and the like — don't have the same level of protection as a main front door, which makes them a priority target for thieves. Alongside a sturdy door, the lock type is crucial.
OTHER SERVICES IN POLLENSA
As well as all the security services described above, we also carry out standard locksmith jobs such as door openings, available 24 hours a day with an emergency response if needed.
We also offer automation systems (installation, repair and motorisation), safe opening, and vehicle opening.
