Lock change after a break-in – Ditzingen

After a break-in in Ditzingen, 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 Ditzingen, Gerlingen or Korntal-Münchingen: after a break-in, what matters is a door that locks properly again. In Ditzingen you typically find new builds on the edge of town and flats above the pedestrian zone. 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 district: Ditzingen, Hirschlanden, Heimerdingen or Schöckingen.

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.

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.
