Lock information
What we do with MICEL products
Door hardware and locking elements
MICEL is a Spanish distributor of door hardware and ironmongery. Besides hardware, it has a security range with mortice locks for metal and timber doors, rim locks and surface-mounted bolts. Not everything MICEL sells is a locking element: a hinge or a pull handle is hardware, and we only work on bolts and locks.
Checking the case and its limits
We identify whether the part is hardware, a bolt or a lock, and which function is failing: whether it won’t lock, whether the bolt doesn’t go into the strike plate or whether the fixing has come loose.
Options before you accept the job
We suggest repairing the bolt or lock, replacing it with a MICEL part or adding a MICEL reinforcement bolt if the door and frame allow it, with the price given before we start.

Before asking for advice about MICEL
On a door with MICEL parts, it helps to work out which element is causing the problem before contacting us. These observations help us advise you better.
- Whether the fault is in a surface-mounted bolt, a lock or a piece of hardware with no locking function.
- Whether the part moves when you touch it because its screws have worked loose.
- Whether the bolt fully enters its keep.
- What the door leaf is made of: timber, metal or aluminium.
- Whether there are signs of knocks or prying near the part.
Lock information
Identifying your MICEL model
Details to identify the product
The MICEL marking or the reference on the packaging or invoice, whether the part is mortice or surface-mounted, the door material and photos from outside and inside. Don’t send close-up photos of your keys.
Compatibility and availability
With the reference we check the dimensions and fixings of the MICEL part and whether it fits the door before giving you the price.
Lock information
What can affect the compatibility of a MICEL part
- The free space on the inside face of the door leaf to fix a surface-mounted bolt.
- The thickness and material of the door, which determine how well the screws hold.
- The alignment between the part and its keep on the frame.
- The holes and recesses left by the previous part.
- The condition of the frame where the strike plate has to be fixed.

Information to assess a security upgrade with MICEL
Before adding a bolt or changing a MICEL lock, check whether the door closes tightly or moves when pushed. A soft frame or a poorly fixed keep limits what any reinforcement can add. Also tell us whether the door opens onto the street or a communal area, because that changes what makes sense to suggest.

What to confirm in the MICEL quote
Repairing, replacing or adding a bolt have different prices depending on the part and the door. VAT is always added on top, the price depends on when the service takes place and, outside Torrevieja, there is a supplement. We give you the price before we start.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about MICEL
What do you need to identify a MICEL locking element?
A photo of the fitted part from outside and inside, the reference if you have it on the packaging or invoice, and the type of door. With that we can tell whether it is hardware, a bolt or a lock.
Can you work on any MICEL model?
No. We repair, replace and fit MICEL bolts and locks. We don’t work on hardware that doesn’t lock, such as hinges or pull handles, and each model is confirmed by its reference.
Which photos help identify my MICEL product?
One of the fitted part from outside, another from the inside of the door and another of the whole door. Don’t send close-up photos of your keys.
How is the quote for MICEL confirmed?
From the photos we give you the price to repair, replace or reinforce before we start, with VAT on top. If the price changes once the part is removed, we explain why and you decide.
Does this page mean you are an official MICEL service?
No. This page gives guidance on MICEL bolts and locks, but it does not imply any official link, authorised distribution or certification with the brand.
Will a MICEL reinforcement bolt work on any door?
Not always. It needs a solid surface on the door leaf and the frame to be fixed, and this is checked before we suggest it.
What should I do if the MICEL bolt has come away from the door?
Avoid forcing it further and don’t screw it back into the same worn holes. Send us a photo of how it looks and we’ll assess whether it can be repaired or is better replaced.
