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.
Door just shut or actually locked?
A door that has only fallen shut is a different case than a door that was locked with the key. This affects method, time and price. A quick photo and short description make the situation clearer.
Do not force the key
If the key is hard to turn, do not keep twisting it. A broken key inside the cylinder can turn a small problem into drilling, extraction or cylinder replacement.
For tourists and expats
If you do not know the exact German terms, describe it simply: key inside, key lost, door closed, door locked, lock broken. English is fine.
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.
