Lock change after a lost key – 74385

A lost key is a risk if it went missing together with your address, for example with your ID card in your wallet. In Pleidelsheim (74385) we then change the lock cylinder so that the old key no longer fits.

Think about what else was on the key ring: front door, car, office, letterbox? Was your name or address on it? If so, the cylinder should be changed soon. If you rent and the key is part of a master key system, inform your landlord.

Pleidelsheim lies on the Neckar at the A81 junction between Freiberg, Ingersheim and Benningen. There you typically find estate houses near the motorway and older houses towards the river bank. After a key loss we usually only change the cylinder of the flat door or the front door. Tell us whether you live more on the motorway side or by the river bank.

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, 2:30 pm, door open, cylinder only: 89 €. Monday, 7 pm, door open, cylinder only: 119 €. Saturday, 12 pm, door open, cylinder only: 119 €. We confirm the exact amount by phone before we set off.

If you are inside, it is a simple swap: old cylinder out, new one in, test the lock. If you are outside, we first open the door without damage, if the door allows it, and then change the cylinder.

After losing a key, a new euro profile cylinder is almost always enough. The mortice lock in the door stays, because the key only operates the cylinder. We only replace the whole lock if it is damaged. This saves money and time.

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.

Waiting, even though your address and key were lost together. Only thinking about the lock on the flat door, but forgetting the garage or letterbox. Sending someone out without a fixed price.

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