Glue, a broken object or another foreign body in the lock?

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.
Do not turn the key with force
Force can break the key, drive material deeper into the cylinder or damage the lock case. Stop when the key does not enter or turn normally.
Document before removal
Take clear photos and note when the problem was discovered. In a rented, managed or commercial property, inform the responsible person and clarify whether police or insurance documentation is needed.
Repair or replacement depends on the damage
A removable obstruction is different from a bonded or internally damaged cylinder. Any destructive step and replacement material are explained before the scope changes.
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.

openFAQ
Questions about tampered lock Berlin
Can glue always be removed without damage?
No. The result depends on material, depth and cylinder damage. A non-destructive attempt is not promised when it would be unsafe or unrealistic.
Should I call the police?
For suspected vandalism or attempted entry, preserve evidence and contact the police or property manager as appropriate before unnecessary alteration.
Can I receive an invoice and damage description?
Yes. The invoice can state the authorised work and material; observations are limited to what was actually found.
