Emergency locksmith for a broken key – Neckarweihingen

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

Neckarweihingen is on the Neckar north of Ludwigsburg, between Hoheneck, Poppenweiler and Freiberg. Typical buildings there are older houses on the village street and estate houses up on the slope. In old cylinders, the key often breaks right at the edge of the cylinder. Tell us whether you live down in the old village centre or up in the estate.

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 €. Tuesday, 2:30 pm, door slammed shut: 99 €. Sunday, 8 am, locked: 179 €. 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.

Even with a broken key, we only open the door if you live there or are authorised. Show your ID card or passport, or post with your address. If the flat is rented and the cylinder belongs to a master key system, tell us on the phone; then we check whether a swap needs to be agreed with the landlord.

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.
