Can locks be changed on a property if you don't have access to the property,  I live in Ireland and I've lost keys to my property in Spain.  There is a gate on the front door of  the property too and the property is in a gated community and I've no key to access in the actual complex - nightmare

Yes Debbie22 you can have someone come and get you in. It happened me when I lost my keys in Spain and locked myself out. It cost me €150 to get back in and the man was there for ages trying to get the old locks off. We are a bit like Fort Knox as there are 2 locks on the door and one on the security grill door.  Try this chap David Beck (0034)620627640 email: [email protected] He comes highly recommended on the TalkQuesada site.  Get him to code the keys for you so that you only have one key for all your doors or door.
