Lock change after a lost key – 71686

A lost key is a risk if it went missing together with your address, for example with your ID card in your wallet. In Remseck am Neckar (71686) we then change the lock cylinder so that the old key no longer fits.

Quickly check the usual places and ask at the local lost property office (Fundbüro). If the key is really gone, call us. Tell us whether you can still get into the flat; the price depends on it.

Remseck am Neckar lies where the Rems flows into the Neckar, with Aldingen, Neckargröningen, Neckarrems, Hochberg and Pattonville-Ost. There you typically find houses in several old village centres and in Pattonville-Ost. After a key loss we usually only change the cylinder of the flat door or the front door. Always tell us the district; Aldingen and Hochberg are not next to each other.

Door open: 89 € Monday to Friday during the day, otherwise 119 €, standard cylinder included. If the door has to be opened first, the opening (99 € / 149 € slammed shut, 129 € / 179 € locked) is followed by fitting in the same trip for 49 €; the cylinder then typically costs 25–50 € (standard).

Saturday, 12 pm, door open, cylinder only: 119 €. Friday, 2:30 pm, door open, cylinder only: 89 €. Friday, 2:30 pm, locked out, slammed shut, new cylinder: 148 € plus material. We confirm the exact amount by phone before we set off.

We check which cylinder is fitted, measure the length and fit a new one. You test the new keys yourself. You can have more keys cut later; with security profiles this is only possible with the security card.

The new cylinder has the same length as the old one, unless the old one stuck out too far. Then we choose a shorter one. The locking is new, and old keys no longer fit. If you want more protection, choose a security cylinder with a card.

If your key only locks your flat door, the case is simple: new cylinder, new keys, done. If it also locks the front door of the building, the basement and the letterbox, it is probably a master key system. Then the owner has to decide. In both cases, we tell you the price beforehand.

Check whether your liability or home contents insurance covers key loss before you have a master key system changed. Keep the invoice.

A spare key with family or neighbours saves money next time. With security cylinders, keep the security card separate from the key.
