Emergency locksmith for a broken key – 71701

A broken key blocks the cylinder. If you are stuck outside your door in Schwieberdingen, you need two things: the broken piece out and the door open. We do both on one call-out, at a fixed price.

Don’t put superglue on the broken piece. Don’t yank hard on the handle. Don’t throw away the broken-off piece. It shows us the key profile.

We come to Schwieberdingen, about 10.3 km as the crow flies from the ikeytz office in Adalbert-Stifter-Straße. We tell you on the phone when we will arrive. Keep the piece of key ready. 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.

If you are locked out, the opening price applies: 99 € or 149 € (slammed shut), 129 € or 179 € (locked), removal of the broken piece included. If you can still get in and only the broken piece needs to come out, we tell you the price on the phone first.

Sunday, 3 pm, locked: 179 €. Wednesday, 10:30 am, locked: 129 €. Wednesday, 10 pm, door slammed shut: 149 €. 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.

Using glue. Pushing the broken piece deeper with a needle. Carrying on with a bent spare key that will soon break too.

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