Lock change after a break-in – Asperg

Break-in in Asperg (71679) and the cylinder was snapped off or drilled? Then a new cylinder has to go in so the flat is securely closed again. ikeytz comes to you as a mobile service and tells you in advance what the change costs.

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 Asperg, Möglingen or Tamm: after a break-in, what matters is a door that locks properly again. In Asperg you typically find terraced houses and old buildings in the streets below the hill. We pay attention to the cylinder length and the door plate so that the new cylinder is not easy to attack again. Tell us the street; the Hohenasperg itself is rarely where we are needed.

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.

Tuesday, 9 am, door open, cylinder only: 89 €. Tuesday, 9 am, locked out, slammed shut, new cylinder: 148 € plus material. Tuesday, 8:30 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.

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.

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.
