Locksmiths in Barcelona for homes, cars and businesses

La Sagrada Cerrajería is a 24/7 locksmith based at Passeig de Sant Gervasi, 84, working across Barcelona for homes, cars and businesses. We handle everything to do with locks, keys and door security — and we do it in English, so you can explain the problem and agree the price without a language barrier. We're available around the clock, and our clients rate us 4.9★ on Google across 85 reviews.

Door opening services

One of our most requested services is door opening. It is essential in emergencies — when keys are lost, broken inside the lock, or simply left inside the house or car. We understand the urgency and stress these situations cause, so we guarantee a fast, efficient response without unnecessary damage to the door or the lock. Our locksmiths are trained to work with all types of doors, including armoured doors, and we offer a genuine 24/7 service so there is always a professional available.

Change and installation of locks and cylinders

The security of your home or business largely depends on the quality of the locks installed. We offer a complete lock change and installation service — crucial after a theft or lost keys, and ideal for anyone looking to upgrade their security. We advise you on the best options based on security level, budget and lock type, working with brands such as MCM and IFAM and installing electronic, smart and biometric (fingerprint or face recognition) locks too.

High-security locks and anti-squatter protection

Protecting your home goes beyond a standard lock. We fit anti-bumping and anti-snap cylinders, security shields and door reinforcements that stop the most common break-in techniques — a real concern for flats that stay empty while you travel or between tenancies. We also install smart and invisible locks, so you can manage access from your phone. See our high-security locks service.

Opening and installation of safes

For an additional layer of security for your valuables, we offer specialized safe opening and installation. Our locksmiths are experienced in opening all types of safes, from the oldest to the most modern, using non-destructive methods wherever possible. We also advise on and install new safes, helping you choose the option that best fits your needs and budget.

Car lockout service

Locked your keys inside the car, or the lock won't turn? We open cars, vans and motorbikes without damaging the door or the lock, 24 hours a day, so you can get back on the road as soon as possible. We don't cut or program car keys: for a new key, your dealer or a car key specialist is the place to go. See our car lockout service.

FAQ

Locksmith in Barcelona: common questions

Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — nights, Sundays and public holidays included. Call or WhatsApp us at any time and we'll tell you how soon we can be there.

It depends on the job: a simple door opening is very different from fitting a high-security lock. Either way, we agree a fixed price with you before we start, so there are no surprises on the bill. A night rate (10 pm to 6 am) or a Sunday and public-holiday rate may apply, and we always tell you before we begin. We never charge extra just because it's an emergency.

Generally, yes — you can change the lock of the home you live in. The hassle-free approach is to let your landlord or agency know first. We fit a new cylinder and leave you the original one, so it can go back in when you move out and you avoid any issues with your deposit.

Yes. We open cars, vans and motorbikes without damaging the lock, day or night. We don't cut or program car keys, so for a new key you'll need your dealer or a car key specialist.

We're based at Passeig de Sant Gervasi, 84, so we're fastest in the zona alta — Sant Gervasi, Sarrià, La Bonanova and El Putxet — but we also cover Gràcia, Eixample, Les Corts and the rest of Barcelona and its metropolitan area. We usually arrive in under 30 minutes.

Of course. If you'd rather write than speak, send us a WhatsApp in English to +34 677 65 48 21 with what's happened and where you are, and we'll get straight back to you.

By card or cash. We also give you a proper invoice at no extra cost if you need it.
