Emergency locksmith: child alone in the flat – Freiberg am Neckar

Toddler inside, parents outside, in Freiberg am Neckar (71691): 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.

With a child behind the door, staying calm is what counts. Typical buildings in Freiberg am Neckar are houses in the three old village centres and commuter estates near the railway and the B27. Tell us whether it is Beihingen, Heutingsheim or Geisingen; the house number alone is often not enough.

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

Monday, 4 pm, door slammed shut: 99 €. Monday, 4 pm, locked: 129 €. Monday, 7 pm, 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.

With small children, do not leave the key in the lock on the inside. Doors with a fixed knob on the outside slam shut easily if the child pushes them.
