Emergency locksmith for a broken key – Löchgau

Key snapped in the lock in Löchgau, and half of it is still stuck inside? Stop pulling at it. We get the rest out and open the door if you are locked out. We tell you the price on the phone.

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.

Löchgau is between Besigheim, Bönnigheim and Bietigheim, on the first hills away from the Neckar. Typical buildings there are detached houses and old farmsteads on the village street. In old cylinders, the key often breaks right at the edge of the cylinder. With old farmsteads, tell us whether the yard gate or the front door is shut.

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.

Tuesday, 8:30 pm, door slammed shut: 149 €. Sunday, 12 pm, locked: 179 €. Tuesday, 2:30 pm, locked: 129 €. 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.

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

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