Door locked and key lost in Berlin.
A lost key after the door was locked is not the same as a door that simply fell shut. It can require cylinder opening, drilling, pulling and a replacement cylinder.

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.
Why the price differs
A locked door usually means the bolt is engaged. If no working key is available, opening the cylinder can be destructive. That is why it is not priced like a simple shut door.
After the opening
If the cylinder had to be removed, a simple replacement cylinder can be fitted as an emergency solution. More advanced security cylinders are a separate decision.
24h reachable
I am reachable day and night. Arrival still depends on route and current job.
