Locksmith pricing before work starts.
Prices depend on the door situation, lock type, time, travel, material and whether non-destructive opening is possible. Consumer-facing prices are final prices. Where the Kleinunternehmerregelung is applied, no VAT is charged or shown separately under § 19 UStG.
Simple shut door
from 70 € in the core area when the door is only shut and can be opened without destructive work.
Longer simple opening
90 € can apply when a simple shut-door job takes more than roughly 15 minutes or is outside the basic case.
Night / weekend / holiday surcharge
+20 € for night, early morning, weekend or holiday service windows as communicated before work.
Travel fee
from 20 € near the core area. Further or difficult routes can cost more and are clarified before work starts.
Drilling / cylinder pulling
from 110 € when destructive opening is technically necessary, for example locked door, lost key or defective cylinder.
Simple replacement cylinder
from about 30 € if a basic replacement cylinder is needed after destructive opening or key loss.
High-security / electronic locks
from 220 € for high-security cases and from 300 € for electronic or motor locks, depending on construction and damage risk.
Bar lock / crossbar / multi-point lock
from 450 € and higher for heavy blocked special cases, only after inspection and approval.
Important
A shut door is not the same as a locked door, a lost key, a defective cylinder or a blocked extra security lock. Destructive work, material and special cases are explained before they are charged. See also consumer information, terms and withdrawal information.
