Toddler inside, parents outside, in Ludwigsburg-Mitte (71638): 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 Ludwigsburg-Mitte are old buildings with a courtyard gate and post-war buildings set back behind them. With old buildings with a courtyard gate, please tell us whether the gate is open or whether we need to ring.

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

Sunday, 10 am, locked: 179 €. Wednesday, 10:30 am, locked: 129 €. Wednesday, 10:30 am, door slammed shut: 99 €. 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.

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.

Rattling the door with force, which frightens the child. Asking the child to go to the lock or the window. Calling a locksmith first instead of 112 when there is danger.

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.
