Forensic locksmith expert (APFC) in Fuengirola & Málaga
I'm Santiago, a locksmith certified by the Professional Association of Forensic Locksmiths (APFC). I issue expert reports for courts, lawyers, insurers and property administrators. Over 10 years of experience in lock, burglary and manipulation forensics across the Costa del Sol.
What is a forensic locksmith expert?
A forensic locksmith expert is a specialist who puts their technical experience at the service of justice. My job is to analyse locks, doors, safes and security elements to issue expert reports with full legal guarantees.
These reports are accepted as evidence in civil and criminal trials, in insurance claims, in eviction proceedings, in burglary assessments, or in any procedure where you need to prove technically how a security system was forced, manipulated or installed.
As a locksmith certified by APFC (Professional Association of Forensic Locksmiths), my reports meet the legal standards required by judges, lawyers and insurance companies across the province of Málaga and the Costa del Sol.

If you are in any of these situations in Fuengirola, Mijas, Benalmádena or anywhere in Málaga, my technical assessment can be decisive.
