Emergency locksmith for a broken key – Ludwigsburg Ost

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

We come to Ludwigsburg Ost, about 2.0 km as the crow flies from the ikeytz office in Adalbert-Stifter-Straße. We tell you on the phone when we will arrive. Keep the piece of key ready. With villas with a garden gate, please tell us which door is the problem.

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, 11 am, door slammed shut: 99 €. Wednesday, 10 pm, door slammed shut: 149 €. Sunday, 8 am, locked: 179 €. 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.

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.

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.
