Lock change after a break-in – 71739

After a break-in in Oberriexingen, 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.

Call 110 first. If possible, do not touch the door, the cylinder or the door plate until the evidence has been secured. Take photos of the damage for the insurance. Only then do we change the cylinder.

Whether in Oberriexingen, Sersheim or Markgröningen: after a break-in, what matters is a door that locks properly again. In Oberriexingen you typically find old houses by the river and estate houses on the new edge of town. 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 you live by the river in the old centre or in the new housing area.

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.

Friday, 2:30 pm, door open, cylinder only: 89 €. Friday, 6:30 am, door open, cylinder only: 119 €. Saturday, 8 am, 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.

A cylinder that sticks out is often snapped off or pulled out with tools. Security cylinders have a protected breaking point or a reinforced design to prevent this. A security door plate covers the cylinder, so there is hardly anything left to attack.

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.

Having the door repaired before the police have secured the evidence. Carrying on using the snapped-off cylinder as a makeshift solution. Fitting a cylinder that is too long and sticks out on the outside.
