Working in Piriápolis

Piriápolis is the seaside town in the west of the department, with buildings and hotels along the Rambla de los Argentinos, older houses towards the hills and neighbourhoods of year-round residents. Period locks on wooden doors sit alongside armoured doors in newer buildings.

Our base is in Maldonado city. We usually reach Piriápolis in 35 to 50 minutes. Tell us a landmark near you, for example the Rambla de los Argentinos, the Argentino Hotel or San Antonio hill.

    Send your location (a landmark is enough), what happened and, if you can, a photo of the lock. Short messages work best.

  2. Fixed price first

    We tell you the price and the arrival time before we leave. That is the price you pay, at any hour.

  3. We solve it and test it

    We open or fix the lock, and check that everything locks and opens properly with your keys before we leave.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us most before we go.

I am locked out in Piriápolis. What should I do first?

Do not force the door or try to open it with a card or a screwdriver: that usually breaks the latch or the frame. Check whether a neighbour, the caretaker or the rental agency has a spare key. If not, message us on WhatsApp with your location and a photo of the lock and we set off.

Can you open the door without breaking the lock?

In the vast majority of cases, yes. We use the non-destructive opening technique that matches each type of lock. If anything had to be replaced after checking it, we tell you and give you the price before touching anything.

The door slammed shut behind me. Is that faster to open?

Yes. A door that was just pulled shut, without turning the key, is the quickest and most common opening. It is usually solved in a few minutes and without damaging the lock. Tell us if the key is inside or if the door was locked with the key.

I am renting in Piriápolis. Can you still open the door?

Yes, with the owner or the agency on board. Before opening we check that you are allowed to enter: show us your booking or rental contract, or put us in touch with the agency, the caretaker or the owner. It protects you and the property.

How much does it cost to open a door in Piriápolis?

It depends on the type of lock and on whether the door was pulled shut or locked with the key, and on the time of day. We send you a fixed price on WhatsApp before we leave, with no extra charges when we finish.
