Fluent English · direct owner contact
You can speak to me in English.
I speak English fluently. I may initially answer the phone in German because I work in Berlin; simply speak to me in English and I will switch immediately. You speak directly with me—the locksmith who clarifies the door situation, explains the price components, travels to you, carries out the agreed work and issues the invoice.
What to expect
Clear emergency process, no mystery price game.
I ask what happened, where you are, whether the door is shut or locked, whether the key is inside or lost, and whether an invoice is needed. Then I give a realistic arrival and price range.
Simple shut door
Damage-minimising opening first if the latch can be reached.
Locked door / lost key
May require drilling, pulling or cylinder replacement after explanation.
Company invoice
Billing address, e-mail and service details can be recorded.
Maps & route
Google, Apple and Bing route/profile links are available.
One person carries the job from call to invoice
The initial description is not handed through an anonymous sales chain. Address, access, method, approval and billing remain connected to the person responsible for the work.
Multilingual contact is operational, not decorative
English, German, Russian and Spanish are used to clarify whether the door is shut, locked or defective, what proof is available and which price components apply.
A mobile business is not a walk-in key shop
The published Charlottenburg address identifies the business base. The service travels to doors and does not claim a permanent retail counter, duplicate-key shop or technician waiting at the address.
Direct language contact and accountable service
I speak English fluently and handle accepted work myself. The same person clarifies the address, access entitlement, likely method, price components and invoice details before the job proceeds.
Price, authorisation and privacy stay explicit
A straightforward shut but unlocked door in the nearby core area starts from 70 €. A fixed 20 € surcharge applies from 19:00 to 08:00, on weekends and public holidays. Only necessary personal and property details are requested.
24h reachable
I am reachable day and night. Arrival still depends on route and current job.
Invoice possible
Useful for offices, hotels, landlords, property managers and insurance.
Reviews
Check Google Maps and other directories before calling.
Direct contact
No anonymous hotline chain or lead resale story.

Yes. German, English, Russian and Spanish can be used directly for the job description, price clarification and invoice details.

No walk-in shop or key-copy counter is claimed. It is the base of a mobile service.
Can I explain everything in English?
Yes. Speak English from the start and I will continue in English. Photos should show only the door, fitting and relevant damage, not unnecessary private information.

Is destructive work automatic?
No. Damage-minimising methods are considered first. Drilling, pulling, replacement or specialist follow-up is explained and authorised only when technically necessary.
