Lock change after a break-in – Eberdingen

After a break-in in Eberdingen, 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.

Eberdingen lies on the Glems towards Vaihingen, made up of Eberdingen, Hochdorf and Nussdorf. There you typically find houses at the edge of the village with a longer drive and old farmsteads in the centre. After a break-in we first check whether only the cylinder is broken, or also the lock, the strike plate or the frame. Be sure to tell us the village: Eberdingen, Hochdorf or Nussdorf.

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.

Monday, 11 am, door open, cylinder only: 89 €. Monday, 7 pm, door open, cylinder only: 119 €. Saturday, 8 am, door open, cylinder only: 119 €. 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.

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.
