Lock change after a break-in – 70825

After a break-in in Korntal-Münchingen, the door often no longer closes properly, or the cylinder is damaged. Once the police have finished, we change the cylinder and check whether the lock and the door plate still hold. We tell you the price in advance.

1. Call the police on 110. 2. Do not change anything until the evidence has been secured. 3. Photograph the damage and inform your insurance. 4. Call us: we tell you on the phone whether a cylinder change is enough or whether the door has to be secured first.

Whether in Korntal-Münchingen, Schwieberdingen or Ditzingen: after a break-in, what matters is a door that locks properly again. In Korntal-Münchingen you typically find houses on Korntal’s straight streets and houses in the village and commercial part of Münchingen. We pay attention to the cylinder length and the door plate so that the new cylinder is not easy to attack again. Tell us whether it is Korntal or Münchingen.

Fixed: the cylinder change with the door open, 89 € or 119 €. Extra for a security cylinder: typically 25–70 €. Not on the list: emergency securing and damage to the door or frame. For these we quote a separate fixed price in advance.

Wednesday, 4 pm, door open, cylinder only: 89 €. Wednesday, 10 pm, door open, cylinder only: 119 €. Saturday, 3 pm, door open, cylinder only: 119 €. We confirm the exact amount by phone before we set off.

We check the cylinder, lock, strike plate and door plate. If only the cylinder is broken, we change it. If more is damaged, we tell you in advance what it costs on top, and you decide. At the end, the door locks securely again.

When a door is levered open, the strike plate in the frame often gives way. Then a new cylinder is not enough. A reinforced strike plate with long screws into the masonry is a separate job with its own fixed price.

That depends on your policy and your living situation. Owners report the damage to their insurer. Tenants report it to the landlord and to their own home contents insurance. We issue an invoice listing every item, which you can submit. Please take legal questions to your insurer or an advice service.

Take photos for the insurance before anything is changed. Keep the invoice. A security door plate that covers the cylinder makes snapping it off harder.

Many people feel uneasy after a burglary. A door that locks properly again helps. Talking to family or to a victim support service helps too.
