Emergency locksmith for a stolen key – 71634

A stolen key is more serious than a lost one, because someone has it on purpose. In Ludwigsburg (71634) we change the cylinder of your flat or front door. If you are locked out, we open the door first.

Report the theft to the police. Have your cards blocked (blocking hotline 116 116). Check whether your address or ID card was with the key. Then have the cylinder changed, ideally the same day.

After a theft, a quick change is what counts. Typical buildings in Ludwigsburg are estate houses from the 1960s, blocks of flats and older farmsteads. Tell us whether it is Eglosheim or the Weststadt.

Locked out: opening plus a new cylinder 148 € / 198 € (slammed shut) or 178 € / 228 € (locked), material typically 25–50 €. Door open: 89 € Mon–Fri 8 am–6 pm, otherwise 119 €.

Wednesday, 2:30 pm, slammed shut, opening only: 99 €. Saturday, 12 pm, slammed shut, opening and new cylinder: 198 € plus material. Wednesday, 10 pm, locked, opening and new cylinder: 228 € plus material. We confirm the exact amount by phone before we set off.

Check which door is affected. Open it if you are locked out. Change the cylinder, test the locking, hand over the keys. Invoice for your insurance or police report.

If the master key system cannot be changed straight away, a separate cylinder in the flat door is a temporary solution, if the landlord agrees. Keep the old cylinder.

A single cylinder is changed quickly. If the stolen key belongs to a master key system, the owner decides what happens next. Until then, your own cylinder in your flat door can be a temporary solution, if the landlord agrees.

Waiting to see if the key turns up again. Blocking only your bank cards and forgetting the lock. Leaving the spare key with neighbours with a name tag on it.

Over the next few days, watch out for anything unusual around the building. Tell your neighbours if the key to the building’s front door was stolen.
