Clarify first, then change
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.

Worked examples for Sersheim
Saturday, 8 am, door open, cylinder only: 119 €. Tuesday, 2:30 pm, locked out, slammed shut, new cylinder: 148 € plus material. Tuesday, 2:30 pm, door open, cylinder only: 89 €. We confirm the exact amount by phone before we set off.
What happens at the door
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.
Cylinder or the whole lock?
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.
A single cylinder is simple
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.
Typical mistakes
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.
After the swap
Carry your new keys without an address tag. Keep a spare key with someone you trust. Keep the invoice for your insurance.
