Lock change after a break-in – 74343

If you want to sleep peacefully again after a break-in in Sachsenheim, you need a door that locks securely. We change the cylinder, look at the lock, the strike plate and the door plate, and tell you clearly what is covered by the fixed price and what is a separate job.

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 Sachsenheim, Freudental or Sersheim: after a break-in, what matters is a door that locks properly again. In Sachsenheim you typically find houses in the old village and estates towards the Enz. 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 Großsachsenheim or Kleinsachsenheim.

Cylinder change only, with the door open: Mon–Fri 8 am–6 pm 89 €, Mon–Fri 6 pm–8 am, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays 119 €. This includes travel, fitting and a standard euro profile cylinder. A security cylinder typically costs 25–70 € more. Emergency securing, a new door plate or work on the door frame have no price on the list; for these we tell you a fixed price on the phone in advance.

Tuesday, 8:30 pm, door open, cylinder only: 119 €. Saturday, 10 am, door open, cylinder only: 119 €. Tuesday, 1 pm, door open, cylinder only: 89 €. We confirm the exact amount by phone before we set off.

First we look: does the lock still hold, is the strike plate in place, is the door plate firm? Then we fit the right cylinder, a security cylinder if needed. Any extra work only after you say yes to the fixed price.

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.

You need the police report for your insurance. Depending on your policy, home contents insurance covers stolen items and damage; in rented flats, the door itself is often a matter for the landlord’s buildings insurance. So tell the landlord as well. Keep photos, the police report and invoices together.

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.
