Emergency locksmith: child alone in the flat – 71701

Toddler inside, parents outside, in Schwieberdingen (71701): this is one of the most common situations for an emergency locksmith. We take these calls at once, tell you the price and set off.

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.

Schwieberdingen is on the Glems between Markgröningen, Möglingen and Ditzingen. Typical buildings there are flats in new housing areas and old houses in the centre. Tell us on the phone that a child is inside. If you are standing at the door after a late shift: the night rate applies from 6 pm, and we tell you the amount in advance.

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

Sunday, 12 pm, locked: 179 €. Thursday, 9 am, door slammed shut: 99 €. Thursday, 9 am, locked: 129 €. 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.

Many flat doors have a fixed knob on the outside. If the door slams shut, you cannot get in without a key. Children sometimes push the door shut from inside while their parents are briefly outside. If only the latch has clicked into place, opening is usually quick and without damage.

Nobody needs to feel embarrassed about calling 112 when a child is behind the door. Better once too often. The control centre decides whether the fire brigade comes. We are the right help once it is clear that there is no danger.

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.
