Emergency locksmith for a broken key – Korntal-Münchingen

A broken key blocks the cylinder. If you are stuck outside your door in Korntal-Münchingen, 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 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.

Korntal-Münchingen is on the Stuttgart city boundary, with Korntal on the S-Bahn and Münchingen to the north of it. Typical buildings there are houses on Korntal’s straight streets and houses in the village and commercial part of Münchingen. In old cylinders, the key often breaks right at the edge of the cylinder. Tell us whether it is Korntal or Münchingen.

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.

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

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.

Replace old, thin keys. Look after stiff cylinders or have them changed. Never force a key.
