Sliding door lock replacement

Who at lakeside can replace a lock in a sliding glass doors.  The present lock will need to be taken out and a new one installed.  It is the kind that has an odd long key and when locked the hook latch on the right  connects with the  slider on the left. The lock still works but is getting ready to die.

ViLuMa in downtown Ajijic. or Las Salvias west of Casa del Plomero in west Ajijic

You need a locksmith. Heriberto Aragon Arvizu. 765-3252 or 333-171-9033

Does Heriberto speak some English and does he have availability to slider locks. This is not an ordinary turn key lock that is on front or side door.

Couldn't say if he speaks English or not. They stock all kinds of locks. So it would be best to call and find out. Viluma makes the sliding doors themselves and Jaime definitely speaks English if that is your comfort level. Jaime's cell number is 333-398-2749

He does speak some English and is great. He is very fluent in Spanglish.

Francisco at Las Salvias speaks good English. He recently replaced 2 locks on my sliders. 33 17 69 64 54, 376 76 604 54

It's a lock. They're locksmiths. I bet you could get it done without speaking a word in either language.

Even simplier; Tools needed - screwdriver; take out the lock, go and buy a replacement, put the new one back in. I've always replaced all our locks; I only use the locksmith to rekey the locks.
Heck I've even taken the locks apart just to lubricate the inner workings.

The key for the lock is not a normal key. It is long and is 3 sided, so I will need a professional to do the job and re-key.
Jaime's number listed above no longer exists. His cell is 333 157 4931. I called and a lady answered. Left message for Jaime to return my call.

Thank you for the updated cell number for Jaime. I cannot tell you how much it annoys me when people (in business) change their numbers but don't contact their clients. Frustrating.

I had those same locks for awhile. Weird key.

Yes the key is actually 4 sided. Someone is supposed to come today. Keeping my fingers X.
