What makes sense now
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.
Out and about in Ludwigsburg West and the surrounding area
In Ludwigsburg West you typically find post-war blocks of flats, terraced houses and old workers’ houses. Tell us whether the lost key also locks other doors; then we can plan for that straight away. If the door is on an industrial estate, please tell us the company name on the gate.
What the new cylinder in Ludwigsburg West costs
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).
Worked examples for Ludwigsburg West
Friday, 10:30 am, door open, cylinder only: 89 €. Saturday, 10 am, door open, cylinder only: 119 €. Friday, 6:30 am, door open, cylinder only: 119 €. 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.
Rented flat and master key system
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.
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.
For the future
A spare key with family or neighbours saves money next time. With security cylinders, keep the security card separate from the key.
