Lock change after a lost key – 71739

A lost key is a risk if it went missing together with your address, for example with your ID card in your wallet. In Oberriexingen (71739) 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.

We come to you in Oberriexingen, about 14.9 km as the crow flies from the ikeytz office in Adalbert-Stifter-Straße. If you can still get in, it is a planned cylinder change. If you are locked out, we open the door first and then fit the new cylinder in the same trip. Tell us whether you live by the river in the old centre or in the new housing area.

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).

Monday, 10:30 am, door open, cylinder only: 89 €. Saturday, 10 am, door open, cylinder only: 119 €. Monday, 10:30 am, 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 belongs to a master key system, losing it can affect the whole building. Tell the landlord or the property management. They decide whether only your cylinder or the whole system is changed. The cost for a system can be high; many personal liability insurance policies have a separate add-on for this. A single flat cylinder, on the other hand, is a standard case with a fixed price.

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

Carry your new keys without an address tag. Keep a spare key with someone you trust. Keep the invoice for your insurance.
