Hiya
just read about your trauma with the lock and could not help thinking "there but for the grace go I"
I will be moving in Jardines de Cope this week and it my third apartment here in spain where I live now anyway.
My experience here is that if you always lock the door behind you when you go "into" your apartment you have to unlock it to get out, if you leave the key in the door and use it to let yourself out and take it with you on leaving you will not have this problem again but further to this with the key left in the lock when you are in your apartment adds to your security because no one can enter with an un authorized key.
I read an article this week in the Euro weekly News stating that most burglaries in Spain are through the front door . As it is these doors are very strong and are not easily forced so look after yourself and develop a habit with your keys for your own safety.
It is always advisable to change your lock when you take over your new apartment and I always expect to see 5 keys handed over as I beleive that generaly the locks are manufactured and supplied with 5 keys.
I am sure that after your experience i do not have to tell you all this but it may be a good warning for anyone else reading this board
good luck
Ray
