Erligheim is in the Stromberg hills between Bönnigheim, Freudental and Kirchheim am Neckar. Typical buildings there are houses on the edge of the village and older houses near the old wine press. In old cylinders, the key often breaks right at the edge of the cylinder. At night it is dark between the vineyards. A light at the door helps us find you.

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.

Friday, 2:30 pm, locked: 129 €. Sunday, 8 am, locked: 179 €. Friday, 2:30 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.

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.
