I lost my keys on the beach, what do I do?

You are enjoying the sun, the sea and a moment of disconnection. But when you return to your place, you notice something strange: the keys are missing. You look for them in your backpack, in your towel, in your pockets… and nothing. That feeling of nervousness that appears suddenly is not strange, especially in an environment like the beach, where everything moves, everything is full of sand and it is easy to get lost.

Before thinking the worst, it is worth stopping for a second. Breathe. Sometimes keys fall through the folds of a bag or get caught in a slipper. If you can, calmly go over the path you took, check every corner of what you were carrying. And if you are accompanied, ask for help: four eyes see more than two.

In case you suspect that the keys ended up in the water, chances are you won’t get them back. But if you think they’re lost in the sand, there’s still room. You can ask the lifeguard, the beach bar staff or the cleaners. Frequently, lost objects are delivered to these points. And it doesn’t hurt to check local social networks or neighborhood groups, where people often share findings or tips for help.

Now, if you’ve done all that and the keys are still missing, it’s time to figure out how to get home. If you have a copy with a family member, great. If not, you probably need the help of a professional. And that’s where speed and clarity make the difference.

In Mou Locksmith Malaga we work so that this type of situations are resolved without dramas. We offer urgent locksmith service 24 hours a day, every day of the year. From the first contact, we give you an estimate of the price and the time of arrival. We usually take between 20 minutes and an hour, depending on the area and traffic, and we always inform you in a transparent manner so that you know what to expect.

One important thing: avoid picking the lock. Although it may seem like a good idea in a moment of desperation, it can end up being much more expensive. A forced entry can damage the door, the frame or the lock itself, complicating subsequent repair.
