Emergency locksmith for a broken key – 71691

Your key broke in Freiberg am Neckar (71691) and the door won’t open? This often happens with old keys that have worn thin. ikeytz removes the broken piece from the cylinder and opens the door, usually without damage.

Don’t work in the cylinder with tweezers, wire or glue. That often pushes the broken piece deeper. Keep the piece that broke off. Tell us whether the door has just slammed shut (only the latch holds) or is locked.

Freiberg am Neckar is on the Neckar north of Ludwigsburg, made up of Beihingen, Heutingsheim and Geisingen. Typical buildings there are houses in the three old village centres and commuter estates near the railway and the B27. In old cylinders, the key often breaks right at the edge of the cylinder. Tell us whether it is Beihingen, Heutingsheim or Geisingen; the house number alone is often not enough.

Door opening, door slammed shut: Mon–Fri 8 am–6 pm 99 €, Mon–Fri 6 pm–8 am, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays 149 €. Locked: 129 € or 179 €. Removing the broken piece of key is included in the opening price. If the cylinder is damaged and you want a new one: Opening plus a new cylinder on the same call-out: slammed shut 148 € / 198 €, locked 178 € / 228 €; cylinder material typically 25–50 € (standard).

Tuesday, 8:30 pm, door slammed shut: 149 €. Sunday, 3 pm, locked: 179 €. Tuesday, 10:30 am, door slammed shut: 99 €. We confirm the exact amount by phone before we set off.

First remove the broken piece, then check whether the cylinder still locks smoothly. If it is damaged: a new cylinder on the same call-out, only once you say yes.

The key is hard to insert, catches when you turn it or has to be jiggled. Then the cylinder is dirty or worn. Graphite or cylinder spray often makes it run smoothly again. If that does not help, a new cylinder is cheaper than a snapped key.

If the cylinder is damaged after the broken piece is removed, it usually belongs to the landlord. A swap makes sense then, but agree it with the landlord if the cylinder belongs to a system. We swap single cylinders at a fixed price.

Have worn keys copied before they break. If the cylinder sticks, dirt is often the cause; graphite or cylinder spray helps, oil does not.

Have a new key cut from the original. Check that the cylinder turns easily. Keep the invoice.
