Emergency locksmith: child alone in the flat – 70839

A child alone behind the door in Gerlingen is pure stress for parents. If your child is fine, we open the door without damage. If there is any danger, the rule is: call 112 first.

If your child is crying and not answering, water is running, the cooker is on or a window is open: call 112 straight away. The fire brigade opens the door in such cases. Only when there is no danger are we the right help.

We come to Gerlingen, about 14.5 km as the crow flies from the ikeytz office in Adalbert-Stifter-Straße. We give you an honest arrival time on the phone. If your child gets distressed or stops answering, call 112. With housing complexes, tell us the building, the entrance and the name on the doorbell.

Usually the door has just slammed shut: 99 € Mon–Fri 8 am–6 pm, otherwise 149 €. If it was locked: 129 € or 179 €.

Friday, 1 pm, locked: 129 €. Friday, 1 pm, door slammed shut: 99 €. Friday, 6:30 am, door slammed shut: 149 €. We confirm the exact amount by phone before we set off.

We usually open the door via the latch, without damaging the cylinder. With a door that has slammed shut, this is often quick. Then you are back with your child.

If the child has turned the key on the inside, the bolt is out. Then it is a locked door. We can usually open that without damage too; it just takes a little longer.

Parents or legal guardians who live there. After opening, briefly show your ID card or passport, or post with your address. If grandparents or a babysitter call, we clarify on the phone who is responsible.

Children sense when adults are panicking. Talk calmly, sing a song or tell a story through the door. That helps more than rattling the handle.

Don’t leave the key in the lock on the inside when small children are around. Leave a spare key with neighbours.

Take time for your child. Take the key out of the lock when you leave the flat. A spare key with neighbours helps next time.
