Lock change after a break-in – Hoheneck

Break-in in Hoheneck (71642) 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.

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 Hoheneck, Ludwigsburg Nord or Ludwigsburg-Mitte: after a break-in, what matters is a door that locks properly again. In Hoheneck you typically find old winegrowers’ houses and post-war houses with a garden on the valley side. We pay attention to the cylinder length and the door plate so that the new cylinder is not easy to attack again. With houses on the slope, please tell us whether the entrance is on the street or down on the valley side.

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, 4 pm, locked out, slammed shut, new cylinder: 148 € plus material. Tuesday, 4 pm, door open, cylinder only: 89 €. 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.

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.
