Emergency locksmith for a lost key – Oßweil

No key, door shut: in Oßweil we open flat and front doors at a fixed price. What matters for the price: has the door just slammed shut (zugefallen), or is it locked (abgeschlossen)?

Ask whether anyone has a spare key, such as family or your landlord. If not, give us a call. Tell us whether the door just fell shut or whether it was locked.

Oßweil is north-east of central Ludwigsburg, already close to the fields towards Neckarweihingen and Poppenweiler. Typical buildings there are detached houses with a garden gate, estate houses from the 50s and 60s and older farmhouses in the old centre. We always try a non-destructive opening first; only if that doesn’t work do we tell you beforehand what else is needed. Tell us the street and whether the door of the house or a garden gate in front of it is locked.

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 €. If you want a new cylinder straight away because the key was lost with your address: Opening plus a new cylinder on the same call-out: slammed shut 148 € / 198 €, locked 178 € / 228 €; cylinder material typically 25–50 € (standard).

Saturday, 12 pm, slammed shut, opening and new cylinder: 198 € plus material. Tuesday, 2:30 pm, locked, opening and new cylinder: 178 € plus material. Tuesday, 2:30 pm, slammed shut, opening only: 99 €. We confirm the exact amount by phone before we set off.

Arrive, look at the door, open it. If the door has slammed shut, we usually open it via the latch; if it is locked, via the cylinder. A new cylinder only once you say yes.

The latch is the slanted bolt that clicks into place when you pull the door shut. The bolt only comes out when you lock the door. We usually open doors that have slammed shut via the latch, without touching the cylinder. With locked doors we work on the cylinder. That is why we ask about it on the phone.

In a rented flat, the landlord may also have a spare key. Ask them if you can reach them. If the lost key belongs to a master key system, you need to tell them anyway.

Trying it yourself with a card or wire and damaging the frame. Booking the first company you find without a fixed price. Forgetting whether the door was locked.

Find your second key and carry it from now on. Have a new spare key cut. If your address was on the lost key: change the cylinder.
