Emergency locksmith for a broken key – Eglosheim

Your key broke in Eglosheim (71634) 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.

Eglosheim is west of the Residential Palace between Favoritepark, the B27 and the road to Möglingen, up the slope. Typical buildings there are estate houses from the 1960s and older farmsteads in the village centre around the church. In old cylinders, the key often breaks right at the edge of the cylinder. Tell us whether you live down near the palace or up on the slope; then the arrival time we give you on the phone is more accurate.

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 €. Monday, 7 pm, door slammed shut: 149 €. Monday, 4 pm, door slammed shut: 99 €. We confirm the exact amount by phone before we set off.

We pull the broken piece out of the cylinder with special tools. Then we open the door. If the cylinder is worn, we recommend replacing it and tell you the price first.

With thin hook tools we reach behind the teeth of the key fragment and pull it forward. Before that, the cylinder has to be in its starting position. If the broken piece is stuck at an angle, we turn it back first. Drilling is rarely needed for this.

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.
