Emergency locksmith for a broken key – Schlößlesfeld

A broken key blocks the cylinder. If you are stuck outside your door in Schlößlesfeld, 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 Schlößlesfeld, about 2.4 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 blocks of flats, the name on the doorbell and the floor help.

Door opening, door slammed shut: Mon–Fri 8 am–6 pm 99 €, Mon–Fri 6 pm–8 am, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays 149 €. Locked: 129 € or 179 €. Removing the broken piece of key is included in the opening price. If the cylinder is damaged and you want a new one: Opening plus a new cylinder on the same call-out: slammed shut 148 € / 198 €, locked 178 € / 228 €; cylinder material typically 25–50 € (standard).

Tuesday, 9 am, door slammed shut: 99 €. Tuesday, 9 am, locked: 129 €. Tuesday, 8:30 pm, door slammed shut: 149 €. 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.

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

Have a new key cut from the original. Check that the cylinder turns easily. Keep the invoice.
