That never waits until the morning. Keys locked inside a car are urgent too, and have [their own page for a locked car](https://locksmithvillajoyosa.es/car-lockout-villajoyosa/). A door that someone has forced is dealt with on [the page about break-ins](https://locksmithvillajoyosa.es/burglary-repair-villajoyosa/), because the job there is different. ## The call-out in the order it happens 1. **You ring or message** Say where you are and what happened. A photo of the lock and a location pin on WhatsApp save a lot of explaining. 2. **You hear the drive time** For your address, at that hour, from where the van is. If it is a long one, you hear that now and not at the door. 3. **At the door** The lock is looked at, you show something that ties you to the address, and the price is agreed before anything is touched. 4. **Open, then locked again** Through the latch or the cylinder wherever possible. If the cylinder has to be sacrificed, a new one goes in on the spot so the door locks tonight. ## Old town, La Cala or the huerta: what to say on the phone La Vila Joiosa stretches over 15 km of coast and a valley of farmland, so the first questions are about where you are standing. ### Inside the walls About twenty streets of the historic centre, carrer Major, Pal, Costereta, Santa Marta and their neighbours, are behind number-plate checkpoints for authorised vehicles. The van parks outside and the locksmith comes up on foot. The guide to [a lockout inside the camera zone](https://locksmithvillajoyosa.es/blog/locked-out-inside-the-camera-zone/) explains what helps, and the [old town page](https://locksmithvillajoyosa.es/old-town-locksmith-villajoyosa/) covers the old doors themselves. ### In La Cala The second-largest part of the town is mostly towers and complexes with pools, next to Finestrat. Give the name of the building, the block, the floor and the gates to pass. Both sides of the municipal line are covered. ### In the partidas Between the Amadorio and the Torres the farm lanes look alike. Send a location pin from the gate itself and name the partida: Barberes, Jovades, Plans, Torres and the rest. ### In town The street and a cross street are enough, or the TRAM stop you are nearest: La Vila Joiosa, Creueta, Costera Pastor or Hospital Vila. ## Orxeta, Sella and Relleu at night The same service runs up the Amadorio valley to Orxeta, Sella and Relleu, and along the coast to Finestrat and Benidorm. The drive to a village above the reservoir is longer than one across town, and you are told how long before anyone sets off. There is [a guide for a lockout up the valley](https://locksmithvillajoyosa.es/blog/a-lockout-up-the-amadorio-valley/) on where to wait, and the full [call-out area](https://locksmithvillajoyosa.es/call-out-area/) lists every part of the municipality. If you have just come out of the Hospital Marina Baixa without your keys, read [the guide for getting home from hospital without keys](https://locksmithvillajoyosa.es/blog/home-from-hospital-without-your-keys/) before you leave the ward. ## Why nobody here promises you a number of minutes Being reachable at any hour is not the same as being outside your door in ten minutes. The honest answer depends on where the van is when you ring, the hour, and whether you are in a street the van can enter. You get that answer on the phone, as a rough drive time, and you decide whether to wait. If you can wait until the morning, for example because you are inside with a lock that has started to stick, a booked visit is better than a night call-out: see [how doors are opened](https://locksmithvillajoyosa.es/door-opening-villajoyosa/) and [changing a lock on a day you choose](https://locksmithvillajoyosa.es/lock-change-villajoyosa/). Messages and photos can also go through the [contact page](https://locksmithvillajoyosa.es/contact/). ## Five things people ask while they wait ### It is two in the morning. Will anyone actually pick up? Yes. The phone is answered at night, at weekends and on fiesta days. You are told then and there whether a call-out is possible and roughly how long the drive to you is from where the van is. ### My street is inside the old town. Can the van get to my door? Usually not: the streets behind the camera-controlled entrances are for authorised vehicles. The van is parked at the edge of the zone and the locksmith walks in with the tools, so tell us your street and the nearest square or church step. ### I live in a tower in La Cala. What do you need to know? The name of the building or complex, the block, the floor and the door, and whether there is a street gate or a pool gate to pass before the front door. If someone can let the locksmith through the outer gates, say who. ### Half the key is still in the cylinder. Should I try to get it out? Better not. Tweezers and hairgrips tend to push the broken piece further in. Keep the half you are holding: it shows where it snapped. ### What will you ask me for before opening the door? Something that ties you to the address: an identity document with it, a rental contract, a utility bill, or a neighbour, owner or manager who can vouch for you. If it is all indoors, it is checked once the door is open. ## Once the door is open again - [Opening a door without damage Most doors are opened through the latch or the cylinder, and the door closes and locks again afterwards.
