You went out to dinner, left the bag with the keys inside and the door slammed shut in the wind. You’re standing on the street with the intercom unanswered. Your home insurer covers the call-out but their technician will turn up Monday at four, not now. That’s what we get most: urgent lock-outs at awkward hours when the insurer isn’t there. We work with locksmiths who open doors without damaging the cylinder whenever possible. If the lock allows opening with a pick or special tool because of internal wear, the opening costs 80-140 euros and takes 15-30 minutes. If it’s deadbolted from the inside or fitted with a high-end anti-bump cylinder, the only fix is full cylinder replacement at 150-260 euros.
