Hello we’ve got an apartment in Roquetas. We are always worried about locking ourselves out of the apartment and leaving the keys inside. Does anybody know if there are any safe deposit boxes in the area were we can hold a spare set of keys? Or can anybody advise on a good solution ? Cheers Alan

put a key safe outside on the wall and put a spare key inside it has a combination lock for access and you can place it somewhere out of site if possible.  they sell them in all good locksmiths.  saves on costs if leave with company unless you want them to access it of course to check.

We've locked ourselves out on occasion (usually after dumping rubbish while waiting for the airport transfer to take us back to Ireland). I keep a spare key chained to my wallet and also our next door neighbour keeps one for us too. A gust of wind can chase you from hero to zero when that door slams.

Thanks Matthew we’re at Esbamar VI don’t seem have any neighbours 🙂.  Was thinking maybe we could leave spare key at a restaurant or maybe estate agent. Wondered if we could rent a safe deposit box at a hotel?

Try the post office, I think they have boxes for the mail , but you would have to have the key with you to access it. I have locked my self out a couple of times, and there is a locksmith in the same road as where they have the market, and he will unlock it in a couple of minutes, but there will be a cost. I have an old shoestring and when I go out just hang it round my neck, or put  ; spare in your pocket or something you will be sure to take with you Good luck..

Buy a key safe box from amazon or ferraris and   fix to wall out of sight.  Very secure and safe.   just need to remember the combination number.
