Cars, homes, vacation rentals, and businesses. Serving Tamarindo, Nosara, Flamingo, Playa del Coco, Potrero and every coastal community in the province.
Emergency Service
Being locked out is stressful enough at home. Being locked out in Guanacaste as a tourist or expat — without local contacts, possibly in the dark, possibly with your family — is another level entirely. We know that. We move fast.
Our technicians cover Tamarindo, Flamingo, Playa del Coco, Nosara, Potrero, and everywhere in between. We respond promptly, give you an honest ETA, and work cleanly — non-destructive entry is always our first approach so your locks and door frame stay intact.
Keys inside the vehicle? We open car doors without damage. Works on most makes and models common in Costa Rica.
Lost your key or the lock failed on your vacation home? We're the call your property manager wants you to make.
Can't open your shop or office? We prioritize business calls to minimize your downtime and lost revenue.
Key Cutting
We cut duplicate keys for houses, apartments, padlocks, gates, and most residential locks. Fast, accurate, and on-site in most cases.
Vacation rental owners in Tamarindo and Flamingo use our key cutting service regularly to maintain key sets for property managers, caretakers, and housekeeping staff. If you manage multiple properties, we can prepare full sets of duplicates in one visit.
Standard residential keys cut from your original on the spot.
Duplicate keys for padlocks, storage units, and gate locks.
Multiple copies for property managers, guests, and staff.
Master key systems for multi-unit properties and rentals.
Lock Services
Rekeying changes the internal pins of your lock so old keys no longer work — without replacing the hardware. It's faster, cheaper, and just as secure as a full lock swap. We rekey all standard residential and commercial lock brands.
If your locks are worn, damaged, or you simply want a security upgrade, we also supply and install new deadbolts, knob locks, and high-security cylinders. We advise on brands and grades that hold up well in Guanacaste's coastal humidity.
Automotive
Modern vehicle keys contain transponder chips that must be programmed to your specific car. Losing a key in Nosara or Playa del Coco doesn't mean a long trip to a dealer — we program replacement keys and remotes on-site for most makes and models commonly found in Costa Rica.
Chip key cutting and programming for most vehicles. Works where the car is parked.
Lost or broken remote? We program new fobs and test all functions before we leave.
Key won't turn? Ignition cylinder damage? We diagnose and repair ignition lock problems.
Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, Suzuki, Honda, Nissan, Ford and more — common vehicles in Guanacaste covered.
Safe Services
Forgotten combination, damaged dial, or a safe left behind by a previous tenant — we open residential and light commercial safes without damage wherever possible. Combination resets and lockout prevention servicing also available.
Security
Thinking about improving the security of your home or vacation rental? We assess your current setup and recommend practical upgrades — deadbolts, smart locks, reinforced strike plates, and padlocks suited to Guanacaste's tropical conditions. No overselling, just honest advice.
