Useful Number
After the burglary of friends' house, we had to call a locksmith. He was extremely helpful, and speaks good English.
His name is Ahmed and his phone: 651.561.376.
According his business card, he also does painting, assembling furniture, pergolas, lamps, mosquito nets, awnings, repairs and renovations of masonry, plaster, drywall, plumbing, electrical, etc ...
Highly recommended!

Re: Useful Number
No I am not trying to be funny,I just find it strange that a member recomends somone as a locksmith when there not,and no I have had no bad experience with Ahmed I happen to know him quite well...

Re: Useful Number
We used a registered locksmith from Lepe who provided security locks which cannot be copied without a security code which was provided on a seperate card. There have been a number of burgalries using keys on CE, especially in the early days when the buiders carried duplicate keys, and we changed our locks and fitted new tower bolts on all the other doors and high padlocks on the roller shutters. I know you cannot prevent a determined burglar, even if you create a pseudo prison barricade with security bars - but make it difficult and they will seek a softer target.

Im sure you would agree providing a good service ( Which he does with a smile ) Doesnt make him a locksmith..

I agree that when security is involved getting those locks that are registered with a card is the best way. Or do it yourself... its not that hard to change the barrel and only you will have the keys ... just get the right sized barrel/cylinder and its a couple of minute job.
However I was wondering about the shutter locks, could you describe them please and did you install them yourself?
We've put security on all our shutters here, so they cant be jimmied up, and changed the locks - but I am interested in the product you used, please.
Thanks
