Lock change after a lost key – Gerlingen

Lost your key in Gerlingen but you can still get into the flat, for example with a spare key? Then the question is who might find the lost key. A new cylinder makes it worthless. ikeytz changes it for you in Gerlingen at a fixed price.

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.

Gerlingen lies on the border with Stuttgart and stretches up to the Schillerhöhe. There you typically find flats in multi-storey buildings with underground parking and terraced houses on the slope. After a key loss we usually only change the cylinder of the flat door or the front door. With housing complexes, tell us the building, the entrance and the name on the doorbell.

If you can still get in: Cylinder change only, with the door open: Mon–Fri 8 am–6 pm 89 €, Mon–Fri 6 pm–8 am, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays 119 €. This includes travel, fitting and a standard euro profile cylinder. If you are locked out: opening and a new cylinder in one trip cost 148 € / 198 € (slammed shut) or 178 € / 228 € (locked), cylinder material typically 25–50 €.

Friday, 6:30 am, door open, cylinder only: 119 €. Saturday, 3 pm, door open, cylinder only: 119 €. Friday, 1 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 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.

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.

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