Lock change after a lost key – Markgröningen

Your bunch of keys is gone, but the door in Markgröningen still opens because someone has a spare key. Now is the right time for a new cylinder. We tell you the price in advance and come to you as a mobile service.

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.

Markgröningen lies west of Ludwigsburg on the Glems, with a half-timbered old town on the high ground. There you typically find very old half-timbered houses with doors in non-standard sizes and prefabricated houses on the edge. After a key loss we usually only change the cylinder of the flat door or the front door. With old half-timbered doors, tell us whether there is a modern cylinder or an old rim lock, if you know.

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 €.

Tuesday, 8:30 pm, door open, cylinder only: 119 €. Saturday, 3 pm, door open, cylinder only: 119 €. Tuesday, 10:30 am, locked out, slammed shut, new cylinder: 148 € plus material. 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.
