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.
The night surcharge is a fixed component
The time surcharge is 20 € from 22:00 to 09:00. It also applies on weekends and public holidays. It does not replace travel, material or a technically different opening, which are explained separately.
Describe the door before anyone travels
Shut or locked, key inside or lost, cylinder moving or blocked, and any additional lock are the important facts. A night call does not make drilling the default method.
Safety and access after hours
Give the illuminated entrance, bell, floor and a reachable phone number. For hotels, offices and shared buildings, an authorised person should meet at the exact door and remain available during the job.
Direct English contact and a clear job record
I speak English fluently and handle accepted jobs myself. I clarify the address, door state, authorisation and likely method before travelling. Private customers receive an electronic invoice after payment; authorised business clients can provide billing details before the job.
Price components before work begins
A straightforward shut but unlocked door in the nearby core area starts from 70 €. A fixed 20 € surcharge applies from 22:00 to 09:00, on weekends and public holidays. Travel, material, a replacement cylinder and technically necessary destructive work are stated separately before they are used.
24h reachable
I am reachable day and night. Arrival still depends on route and current job.

Useful for offices, hotels, landlords, property managers and insurance.

openFAQ
Questions about night door opening Berlin
Is the surcharge higher after midnight?
No separate escalating hourly multiplier is stated. The fixed time surcharge is 20 € from 22:00 to 09:00; other cost components depend on route, material and actual door state.
Can a shut door still be opened carefully at night?
Yes. The time does not change the technical order. A merely shut door is assessed for damage-minimising methods before destructive work.
What if no identification is outside?
Entitlement must still be plausible. Identification or other proof can be checked immediately after access when documents are inside, depending on the circumstances.
Can I explain the situation in English?
Yes. Speak to me in English and I will switch immediately. A clear photo of the door, fitting and cylinder often improves the first assessment.
Will the price components be explained first?
Yes. I separate the opening, possible travel, time surcharge, material and destructive work before starting. The final scope can still depend on the mechanism found on site.
Do you provide an invoice?
Yes. Private customers receive an electronic invoice after payment. Companies and authorised contractual clients can provide complete billing details before the job.
