Munich Locksmith with a Long Tradition of Craftsmanship
An ancestor of the Pichelmaier family contributed to the construction of Neuschwanstein Castle.
The Munich locksmith service managed by Mario Pichelmaier, which is also widely known throughout Upper Bavaria under the name “Amper Aufsperrdienst”, is a company with a great deal of tradition and know-how. One of his ancestors was involved in designing the roof of Neuschwanstein Castle. Mario’s grandfather was already active as a locksmith and developed an extremely helpful tool that was used by many locksmiths for opening doors for many years. The tool was so good at the time that it was even registered for a patent!
Johann, Mario’s grandfather, eventually showed his son Herbert, Mario’s father, everything he knew about working with locks, cylinders, keys, and doors, so Herbert ultimately followed in his father’s footsteps. Later, Mario followed in his father’s footsteps, though Herbert still actively helps out today despite being over 67 years old.
The Amper Aufsperrdienst as a Munich locksmith service is therefore a company already in its 3rd generation! This is quite rare for locksmiths! Why Mario Pichelmaier and his competent team manage to open more than 99% of doors completely non-destructively is thus explained: Amper Aufsperrdienst is one of the most experienced Munich locksmiths ever, if not the most experienced! The highly trained locksmiths master their craft inside out and exclusively use high-quality professional tools!
Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier: Overview of Our Services
-
Damage-Free Opening of Slammed or Accidentally Pulled Shut Doors
Have you accidentally pulled your apartment door shut in Munich and unfortunately don’t have your apartment key with you? Did you just want to quickly take the trash out when a sudden gust of wind slammed your front door shut? Or were you just talking to your neighbor in the hallway for a moment when your apartment door suddenly fell into the lock out of nowhere?
Most door openings refer to the damage-free opening of suddenly slammed or accidentally pulled shut standard entrance doors of apartments or houses. The text-savvy and experienced Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier masters these door openings like no other. With us, it has never happened that we couldn’t get a slammed or pulled shut entrance door open. And in 99.9% of cases, completely non-destructively. You don’t believe us? Then come and see for yourself!
Our employees and technicians are all manually gifted, top-trained, and equipped with the best professional tools. This equipment includes not only standard tools that basically belong in every toolbox, but also high-quality (and also expensive!) professional instruments and devices specifically designed for locksmith craftsmen and locksmith services. We generally have the right tool with us for every door opening. We place great importance on going to work with perfect equipment.
A particularly interesting special tool is the so-called “Türke” (The Turk). This allows the effective opening of slammed or pulled shut doors via the door peephole. You might be wondering why this tool is called “der Türke”. Granted, the name is very unusual. However, the answer is quite simple: A brilliant Turkish inventor invented this instrument. After each successful use, we thank him inwardly for his great invention.
Of course, Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier also has various lock picks, electric picking devices, and many other tools that can provide good service during door openings.
-
Professional Door Opening in Case of Key Loss or Defective Lock Component
Have you lost your apartment or house key and now require the most low-damage opening possible of a firmly locked door? Or can your lock simply no longer be unlocked because an important component appears to be defective? In these and many similar cases, Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier is quickly on the spot for you as a real emergency service. Unlike openings of slammed or pulled shut standard doors, the locksmith is required to show a bit more skill and precision work when opening a locked door because the deadbolt of the lock is activated. (In the case of multi-point locking, even several deadbolts.)
In many cases, the craftsman or locksmith cannot avoid performing the door opening using a drilling device. As a professional locksmith in Munich, we rely exclusively on real brand-name drills with high-quality drill heads so that we can proceed as carefully and precisely as possible during drillings.
After opening the door by drilling, we continue to pay close attention to the professional installation of the partially new lock components. Proper and professional mounting of the locking cylinder as well as the door handle/plate assembly is particularly important. It goes without saying that the door hardware plate should be installed on the door in such a way that no visible damage will be recognizable after the door opening.
-
Repair, Replacement, and Installation of Locks
Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier is well acquainted with a wide variety of door locks. Thus, he is also able to repair, replace, and install various locks. Should a repair exceed the cost of a new purchase, we will of course tell you immediately. (This is often the case!) We focus on providing the best possible expert advice and want to act as transparently and fairly as possible as a service- and customer-oriented locksmith in Munich.
The door locks that we can repair, replace, and install include conventional profile cylinder locks, deadbolt locks (hook bolt locks, armored deadbolt locks, etc.), rim locks, lever tumbler locks, bar locks, and many more.
We can also repair, replace, and install lockable window handles (window handles with locks), special locks for balcony and patio doors, anti-panic locks for escape doors, garage door locks, letterbox locks, etc., using the best tools.
-
Replacement and Installation of Lock Cylinders
Many people confuse the lock with the lock cylinder or the lock cylinder with the lock, especially when it comes to the profile cylinder lock or profile cylinder. However, the cylinder is only that component into which the key is inserted (keyway of the cylinder plug) in order to turn the cylinder plug by turning the key. The successful turning of the cylinder plug ultimately ensures—via the mechanics inside the lock—the locking or unlocking of the door.
Inside the cylinder plug are the pins (tumblers) that match the profile of the key. Only when the correct profile key is inserted into the keyway are the pins aligned in exactly the configuration that no longer blocks the rotation in the cylinder plug.
Do you need the replacement or professional installation of a lock cylinder? Then you are gold-certified right with Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier. We are not only well acquainted with a wide variety of lock types, but also with the most diverse designs of lock cylinders.
Lock cylinders include, for example, double-sided keyable double cylinders (the most common variant), single-sided keyable half cylinders which are attached to a garage door, for instance, or also lock cylinders with a so-called emergency and danger function, which can still be operated from the outside even if the key is inserted on the inside.
No matter which lock cylinder it may be: Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier gladly takes care of its professional installation at a binding, pre-agreed fixed price.
-
Replacement and Installation of Door Hardware Plates
Are you looking for reliable help with replacing or installing a door handle/plate assembly? As an experienced provider of professional locksmith services of all kinds, we are also happy to assist you here. Our technicians possess a lot of know-how and specialist knowledge and are excellently trained to guarantee you a competent installation.
A wide variety of raw materials and materials are used to manufacture door hardware, such as aluminum, steel, stainless steel, iron (wrought iron or cast iron), or brass.
No matter what material your door plate consists of and whether you want the professional installation of an aluminum plate, a steel plate, or a brass plate: Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier has a lot of experience with the most diverse variants, knows the respective features and subtleties very well, and naturally takes these into account during assembly work.
Door hardware plates differ not only in material, but also in their type. Hardware plates designed to protect better against burglary are so-called protective plates or security plates.
Plates that must comply with special fire protection guidelines are fire-retardant (FH) plates. These are attached to FH doors (fire-retardant doors) and are also known as fire protection plates, fireproof plates, or KFG plates.
Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier has the necessary qualification to be allowed to install FH plates on FH doors. Many companies and authorities therefore commission us when hardware plates need to be mounted on emergency exits or FH doors that strictly comply with legal guidelines and fire safety regulations.
We are also authorized and able to mount anti-panic locks and anti-panic hardware plates on emergency exit doors and escape doors as a professional Munich locksmith service. There are clear legal requirements here as well. In a situation where mass panic breaks out, people should be able to open these doors quickly without having to think much.
-
Professional Installation of Deadbolts
Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier is furthermore well-versed in dealing with door deadbolts—a central element of lock mechanics. Conventional door deadbolts generally offer only limited protection against burglary and theft. However, in order to enjoy a significantly higher level of security, we recommend the professional installation of armored deadbolts, which are also called crossbars. These special bolts offer much better protection against unauthorized entry and are therefore of invaluable worth for the security of your home.
The installation of special locks with multiple deadbolts (multi-point locking) could also be of interest to security-conscious people. We would be happy to advise you personally on all your options regarding door deadbolts and locking types. Contact Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier right now for a non-binding expert consultation!
-
Deadbolt Breakage
It is not impossible for a door deadbolt to break due to intensive use. Especially locks that have grown old with a complex and multi-stage locking system are sometimes affected by a deadbolt breakage.
Opening a door that is blocked due to a deadbolt breakage usually represents an extremely demanding task that is not easy to manage. However, our Munich locksmith service has high-quality professional tools to effectively rectify your broken deadbolt.
So please feel free to call us if we should perform a professional and low-damage door opening for you in the event of a deadbolt breakage! In this case, too, we gladly work at a transparent fixed price. It should be clear, however, that Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier charges a higher price for this much more complex work than for the ordinary opening of a pulled shut standard entrance door without self-locking.
-
Professional Installation of Latches
The competent Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier not only professionally installs locks, cylinders, plates, and door deadbolts, but also lock latches. This is because latches can also experience impairments and defects due to wear and tear, which ultimately require a replacement or the installation of a new lock latch. With our many years of experience and expertise, we are the perfect contact partner for all matters concerning locks, latches, and the like.
-
Latch Breakage
It can happen that the latch of the lock breaks due to intensive use, just like the door deadbolt. And exactly like a deadbolt breakage, a latch breakage is very demanding and complex. Often, the defective or broken latch is located inside the strike plate (and thus also inside the door frame) and blocks the door. Removing the lock latch from the strike plate requires a lot of skill and manual dexterity. Furthermore, the professional use of high-quality tools is essential here.
Has your lock latch broken and you are therefore in urgent search of a locksmith in Munich who truly understands his craft? Turn to the customer-friendly Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier who works at binding fixed prices! Before you commission us, you will be told the exact total price. This will then be met 1 to 1 after the work is completed. No ifs or buts!
-
Installation of Door Closers
The door closer is the component that automatically closes a door via spring pressure after it has been opened. Since you can save energy costs thanks to this function, more and more people are deciding on the installation of door closers. Especially with rising energy prices, this decision is understandable because it makes economic sense.
There are two basic variants of door closers: as floor-mounted door closers and as overhead door closers. While the floor door closer is embedded in the floor, as the name suggests, the overhead door closer is mounted at the top of the door.
High-quality door closers are equipped with an oil damper, through which the speed of the automatic closing process can be adjusted.
If you also want to attach a door closer to one of your doors, you are welcome to contact the experienced Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier. We are happy to help you with the installation.
We are also happy to carry out repair and maintenance work on your door closer. In the case of high temperature fluctuations, for example, it can happen that the oil damper of your door closer no longer functions perfectly and needs to be readjusted.
-
Conducting Vulnerability Analyses (Burglary Protection)
If you are looking for an experienced and reliable locksmith service in the city or district of Munich to help you better protect your home (whether loft, apartment, flat, detached house, apartment building, or villa) or your office against potential break-ins, then you have come to exactly the right place. Our competent specialists will gladly carry out a comprehensive analysis of the vulnerabilities of your property to uncover all existing security gaps. The detailed vulnerability analysis forms an important basis for the elaboration of a high-quality and individual security concept.
Feel free to arrange an on-site appointment with us so that we can view your property with our own eyes and carefully examine all details. Already during this inspection and review, we will show you various options and alternatives on how you can effectively protect your entrances, doors, and windows against unauthorized access.
-
Development of a Tailored Security Concept
Based on a detailed vulnerability analysis, Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier develops a tailored security concept for you. During creation, we address all your security needs. In general, we advise securing all important entrance doors, room doors, and windows effectively.
Front doors and apartment doors protect much better against burglary if they are equipped with high-quality locks, deadbolts, and protective plates. Standard designs generally offer only limited protection against intrusion and burglary.
It is also advisable to provide windows with lockable handles and balcony as well as patio doors with special protective devices. The installation of deterrent outdoor lighting or motion detectors can also be highly recommended.
Do you need a tailored security concept to increase your burglary security? The experienced and adept Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier is gladly at your side with help and advice.
-
Procurement of High-Quality Locking and Security Technology Products
Do you find the security concept we specially developed for you convincing and would like us to obtain the high-quality locking and security technology products presented in the concept for you? Thanks to our large network of partner companies and our close cooperation with various brand manufacturers, we are happy to take care of this task.
-
Installation of Hardware for Effective Window and Door Security
As soon as we have gathered all your desired hardware for effective window and door security, we will take care of its professional and expert installation. After Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier has installed all the locking and security technology products on your doors and windows, you will have significantly more protection against burglars and thieves.
-
Installation of Locking Systems
Are you a property manager or owner of an apartment building and would like to have a central locking system installed for your tenants so that they can also open the main entrance door as well as the cellar door and other doors to utility rooms with their respective apartment keys? The technically skilled Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier specializes in the installation of locking systems of any kind.
In the above case, installing a central locking system makes sense. However, if there is to be a master key that can lock all lock cylinders, or a central key that can lock all central lock cylinders, you will need the installation of a master key system (HS system) or a central master key system (Z/HS system) respectively.
With a master key system, a master key exists that can truly lock all lock cylinders and doors in the system. With a central master key system, such a key does not exist. Instead, there is a central key that can lock all central cylinders, but not the individual apartment doors of the tenants (individual lockings).
Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier is also well-versed in more complex grand master key systems (GHS systems). In this variant of locking systems, there is a grand master key that can lock all lock cylinders, and many other keys that can lock specific lock cylinders according to predefined hierarchical levels. A GHS system is commonly used in larger corporate buildings or universities.
Due to the high diversity of locking systems that you could have installed, would you prefer to receive professional and personal advice first? Feel free to contact us and request a non-binding fixed price offer. From your very first call, you will be advised by an experienced and competent locksmith technician who knows all designs and variants of high-quality locking systems inside out. Since we, as a customer-oriented locksmith in Munich, rely on professional expert advice from the very first minute, our locksmiths answer the phone themselves. And not a secretary or a call center employee.
-
Installation of Letterbox Systems
Do you need a new letterbox system for your multi-family home or office building? Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier specializes in the professional installation of letterbox systems and is happy to offer you individual expert advice beforehand. We consider this expert advice important because there are many different designs and variations of letterbox systems – for stairwells, but also for outdoor areas (outdoor letterbox system).
Would you like a letterbox system that is screwed to the wall? Or are you rather looking for a free-standing letterbox system (with a support frame)? Should your letterbox system have a frame? Or would you prefer it without one? Do you perhaps need a particularly exclusive system that combines the letterbox system and doorbell system into one?
We can assist you with advice and practical support during the installation of your new letterbox system. And once the system is installed, we, as an experienced and service-oriented Munich locksmith, can later also take care of repair, maintenance, servicing, and spare parts service.
Please feel free to contact us if you need a new letterbox system. We are the right contact partner, especially since we are well-acquainted with a wide variety of locks and lock cylinders in the 3rd generation and can repair, replace, install, and open them using professional locksmith tools.
Trustworthy Locksmith Munich: Also Operating for Many Authorities and Offices
Anyone who thinks that we only operate as a Munich locksmith for private customers is mistaken. We regularly receive orders from numerous authorities and offices for the fastest, damage-free door openings possible, especially since we belong to the highly trustworthy locksmiths in Munich thanks to our fixed price guarantee and our reliability. Our valued customers include, among others:
- various police departments in Upper Bavaria
- district offices in Upper Bavaria
- customs
- bailiffs
- tax offices
- veterinary offices
- and many other offices and authorities.
In cases of obvious criminal offenses or if, for example, someone has passed away in an apartment, we unlock doors for various police departments in Upper Bavaria. Should someone simply refuse to let the chimney sweep into the house, we unlock doors for district offices.
Veterinary offices occasionally require our help when it is feared that someone is mistreating their pets or not caring for them properly.
Tax offices, bailiffs, and Upper Bavaria customs are also on the list of our regular customers, whom we always help professionally and competently!
When we are deployed for the police, justice system, tax fraud investigation, and customs, we are not just part of the team in our capacity as locksmiths who should be able to open doors quickly and efficiently. The officers also engage us so that additional witnesses are present in case things get more critical. Suspects and criminal individuals not infrequently get foolish ideas and then act exactly as they better shouldn’t. So that neutral and independent persons can make a witness statement during a potential bailiff intervention, we are also present at the corresponding deployments.
As an experienced, traditional, and long-active Munich locksmith service, we could write a whole book series about everything we have already witnessed during the corresponding investigations, inspections, and deployments. Pure suspense and thrills are not uncommon. The daily professional routine of a locksmith is thus anything but boring, at least not with Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier, who is in service for numerous authorities, offices, institutions, and companies!
Awards and Quality Seals
The Munich radio station Radio Gong has presented us with the “Excellent Partner Craftsman” award. Furthermore, we receive very good ratings across various review portals. You are welcome to read the many customer reviews on ProvenExpert, for example: https://www.provenexpert.com/amper-aufsperrdienst/.
Trust in a genuine specialist business with long-standing tradition and a lot of know-how and get an idea of our many areas of operation as a locksmith service in the city of Munich and in parts of the Munich district.
Against Fraud in the Locksmith Industry: We Champion Transparent Service and Fair Billing
We focus the main attention of our services on professionalism, transparency, and fairness. We would like to explicitly distance ourselves from untrustworthy service providers who literally rip off their customers with unfair means.
When you call our free emergency number, you will not be connected to some central call hub, but directly to one of our expert specialists.
We tell you openly and transparently right on the phone what our service will cost later. And we will adhere to this fixed price – you will not be unpleasantly surprised directly on site with excessive prices for travel costs, horrendously high hourly rates, or high costs for material consumption. Because this is the case, we also work together with various police authorities, the tax office, municipalities, district offices, cooperatives, and co.
Experienced Locksmith Munich for More Protection Against Burglars
As a competent, manually skilled, and upright locksmith in Munich, we of course do not just unlock doors non-destructively and at an affordable fixed price, but are naturally also able to advise you optimally regarding burglary protection and mount corresponding protective measures for you at home on windows and doors!
First, we closely inspect your property, your building, or your condominium and check where there could be security gaps and vulnerabilities that could be exploited by burglars and thieves. Based on this, we create a solid custom-tailored security concept and show you which security products and locking systems you can use to better protect your house, your apartment, or your company premises against burglars, petty thieves, and vandals.
In general, we only recommend high-quality security products and hardware from renowned brand manufacturers. These include, among others: ABUS, ASSA ABLOY, BKS, DOM Sicherheitstechnik, GERA, IKON, BURGWÄCHTER, BASI, ISEO, KABA, EVVA, etc.
It is recommended to attach special locks with a particularly good locking mechanism to the most important entrance doors. For example, there are locks with multi-point locking or also armored deadbolts (crossbars). Furthermore, it is advisable to equip patio doors with special protective devices. Or all windows with high-quality, lockable window handles. We are happy to advise you in detail about all your options. Simply arrange a non-binding on-site appointment now, during which we can carry out an initial vulnerability analysis!
Should a break-in have occurred at your place, we can of course also assist you with the elimination of burglary damage on windows and doors! Simply call us under our regional Munich number or our free 0800 emergency hotline to receive comprehensive and individual advice from one of our locksmith experts!
At this point, we would like to point out that we, as a customer-friendly locksmith in Munich, do not work with a call center. Therefore, when you call, no inexperienced and non-expert person will answer the phone trying to make you believe they know about locking and security technology products. With us, since we also do not work with a switchboard, a competent and manually skilled locksmith answers the phone immediately. From minute 1, you will therefore be able to benefit from the highest quality of advice.
The procedure just mentioned is, moreover, also very important when calculating fixed prices for door openings. In our view, only an experienced specialist can know which fairly calculated fixed price is to be applied, depending on what kind of door opening it is. It simply makes a difference whether your key has broken off in the lock, your door has merely snapped shut, or your lock cylinder has a serious defect.
As a fair locksmith in Munich, we want to be able to state fair and transparent fixed prices BEFORE THE CORRESPONDING DOOR OPENING. That’s why one of our locksmith technicians on duty answers the phone immediately, no secretary in a switchboard and no employee of any call center!

Munich Emergency Locksmith Service for Fast Deployment
Our area of operation is chosen so that our technicians in Munich can be with you with the best tools within only about 30 minutes: even at the most ungodly hour! After your commissioning, we do not simply put you on a waiting list, as other locksmiths do, leaving you standing for hours in front of a locked door waiting for help. We set off immediately so that you do not have to wait a single second too long to re-enter your sweet home!
Why Speed is So Crucial When Unlocking!
As a highly experienced Munich locksmith service in the 3rd generation, we know that many situations are extremely critical and must therefore be described as emergencies. How many times have we already had to rush out to grant access back into an apartment to a person whose toddler or even infant was locked inside? How many times have we had to help where the snapped-shut front door had to be unlocked as quickly as possible for the locked-out person because the stovetop or the oven was still on in the kitchen?
Speed is particularly a trump card when a person has locked themselves not out of, but inside a room. Because lock-ins also happen almost on a daily basis. As an expert and experienced locksmith in Munich, we have already had to help numerous people out of the toilet or bathroom, for example, because the corresponding door lock had suddenly failed. Children have been involved here too, which is why we are encouraged almost daily in being a real emergency locksmith service for Munich, not just a plain ordinary locksmith who only operates during specific opening hours and only by appointment.
The speed naturally refers not only to our travel time, which lies within only about 30 minutes. It refers above all to the speed during the door opening itself. And being able to open a door quickly and without damage means: using the best specialized locksmith tools and knowing how to handle them. Moreover, there is a lot of experience and know-how involved here as well!
Locksmith Munich with the Best Tools
For every situation, we as a competent and service-oriented Munich locksmith have the right quality tool in our case. This includes not only top-brand drills that cause as little damage as possible if drilling actually has to take place. “Funny” devices like the so-called “Türke” (The Turk) also belong to the tools we use. The “Türke” is a tool that was invented by a brilliant Turkish locksmith (hence the name) and which makes it possible to open the snapped-shut door via the door peephole.
Generally, we get about 99% of doors back open quickly and professionally without damage. A value that you can only achieve as a Munich locksmith service if you understand something about your craft! Even with locked doors, we usually cause no visible consequential damage. On the one hand, this is because we use brand drills and no cheap drills. On the other hand, we reattach the cylinder, lock, and plate after the door opening in such a way that no drill holes or damage remain recognizable.
You are welcome to convince yourself of this procedure in just a few minutes! We always go to work with complete calmness and thoroughness. Our employees are very well trained, highly concentrated, and highly motivated. However, this is also due to the fact that we pay our competent team above-average wages! Because ensuring that our locksmiths are doing as well as possible is an important part of our corporate philosophy!
DIY Attempts Can Be Very Costly!
Thanks to our wealth of experience and our long-standing activity as a locksmith in Munich, we gladly give you the following (good) advice: Do not undertake any experiments and rather leave it be to attempt a self-trial, especially if you do not understand much about locks, happen to have two left hands, or perhaps even want to use force during the door opening! With such attempts, extremely costly damage not infrequently arises on the frame, door, lock cylinder, or lock. And if, after the door has been damaged, you still haven’t got it open, the then engaged and commissioned Munich locksmith has it twice as hard!
So remember: If you cause damage to your door during an independent failed attempt, this risky experiment will cost you twice as much. On the one hand, the door opening, which must be carried out by a professional after your DIY attempt, is much harder to do, which is why additional costs can already arise here. On the other hand, the door damage caused by you must also be repaired. So rather call an experienced, honest, and cheap Munich locksmith right away, who can help you at a transparent fixed price that is also guaranteed to be maintained.
Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier has specialized in completely non-destructive door openings and offers these at a fair fixed price. This will be stated to you after you have described exactly what happened to the locksmith on duty over the phone. Did you accidentally pull your door shut without having a key with you? Is the door lock of the bathroom door jamming, which is why you are currently locked in? Or has your key broken off in the door lock because you tried to turn the key perhaps a bit too hectically and with too much force?
Based on your description, we determine the firmly binding total price. This will then, of course, also be adhered to 1 to 1 after the door opening has taken place. Our fixed price guarantee is not just a bait-and-switch offer.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions About Our Emergency Locksmith Service for Munich
How can I request the urgently needed door opening?
You can reach us around the clock via our local Munich telephone number 089 / 512 34 111. You will be connected immediately with one of our locksmiths on duty. You are also welcome to reach out to us at the email address info@schluesseldienst-muenchen.de if your request is not overly urgent.
How much does a door opening cost at Schlüsseldienst München – Mario Pichelmaier?
First things first: basically, the cost of a damage-free door opening can vary from case to case.
For doors that are merely pulled shut or slammed shut (without a self-locking mechanism), our guaranteed fixed price for unlocking is only EUR 52, provided that the respective work is performed on weekdays (Mon – Fri) between 08:00 AM and 06:00 PM. The travel costs amount to EUR 48.
For unlocking securely locked doors (potentially also with multi-point locking systems), higher costs apply because more effort is required to ensure a professional opening.
How quickly can the locksmith expert be at the location?
Since we are a real emergency locksmith service, we work neither with mandatory appointments nor with a waiting list. For that reason, you can safely assume that our locksmith on duty will normally be with you in only about 30 minutes.
Even with heavy traffic and/or particularly bad weather conditions, Schlüsseldienst München – Mario Pichelmaier tries to be with you as quickly as possible.
Contacting a real emergency locksmith service that is not only in operation around the clock on every day of the year, but also acts quickly, is of particular importance in an emergency.
How long does the door unlocking take?
This depends on the type of door unlocking. If a door that is merely slammed or pulled shut needs to be opened, it may be open again in just a few seconds. For locked or securely bolted doors, unlocking usually takes a bit longer, as these cases often require drilling and therefore involve more effort.
Please describe to us in detail over the phone exactly what happened: did the door slam shut and the key is inserted from the inside? Were you just about to unlock the bolted front door when the key broke off in the lock? Or is the aging door lock jammed, which is why it urgently needs to be replaced? Based on your description, we can already tell you approximately over the phone how long we will need for the door opening and how the specific fixed price will be calculated.
Is proof of authorization required?
Schlüsseldienst München – Mario Pichelmaier is properly managed, which is why it also dutifully complies with all legal regulations. This also means that we require proof of authorization in order to open your door without damage or to competently replace your door lock. With the help of the proof of authorization, we want to ensure that only individuals who are actually authorized to have access regain entry to the respective house or apartment.
You can provide proof of authorization, for example, by showing your ID card. Logically, this should state the address where the door opening or lock change is to be performed. Should you be unable to show an ID card while standing in front of a slammed or pulled-shut entrance door, we allow you to provide the proof of authorization directly after the locksmith work has been completed. In this case, you can then also show a document such as your rental agreement, for example.
Do I need to make an appointment in advance?
At Schlüsseldienst München – Mario Pichelmaier, you do not need to make an appointment in advance, as it is a real emergency locksmith service for the greater Munich area. Therefore, the locksmith on duty will drive directly to your location immediately after your phone order. With conventional locksmith services, on the other hand, it may well be the case that you first have to make an appointment and possibly wait several hours until the locksmith finally arrives.
Can damage to the door occur during an unlocking process?
During a door unlocking, damage to the door, cylinder, lock, or frame can certainly occur if, for example, force is used to open the door or the wrong tool is used. If you turn to the experienced experts from Schlüsseldienst München – Mario Pichelmaier, you generally do not have to fear that expensive damage will be caused to your door. This is because we rely on manual skill, a precise approach, and high-quality specialized tools.
Even securely locked apartment or house doors can usually be opened again without any visible damage. On the one hand, this is because we use our brand-name drills very carefully and gently. On the other hand, after drilling and unlocking, we attach the lock, locking cylinder, and door fitting to the door in such a way that no damage will be visible anymore. Our rate of successful and damage-free door openings is approximately 99%.
Does the locksmith service "Schlüsseldienst München – Mario Pichelmaier" also open non-door locks?
Yes, as a professional and technically skilled locksmith service, we can also open a wide variety of non-door locks. These include letterbox locks, gate locks (garages, garden gates, entrance gates, etc.), (drawer) cabinet locks, safe locks, bicycle locks, and window handle locks.
How can I find a reputable locksmith in Munich?
There are several tricks to reliably find a reputable locksmith in Munich. First, it is best to look at the legal notice (Impressum) on the provider's website. Make sure it lists a regional company with a regional address, which ideally also has a local phone number. Next, enter the company name into Google or another search engine and look for customer feedback, reviews, and ratings. If you find numerous negative reviews this way (concerning scams or dubious practices), the locksmith in Munich is clearly not reputable. Furthermore, a good approach is to only hire locksmith services for a non-destructive door opening that work with guaranteed fixed prices quoted before the opening, and that also officially work for authorities such as the police, tax investigation units, customs, the district court, and the like.
Can locksmiths also open locked doors?
Yes, professional locksmiths who understand their craft are, of course, also capable of opening locked house or apartment doors. A classic scenario, for example, is losing your own key, meaning the locked entrance door can no longer be unlocked. Depending on the situation, it may be unavoidable for the locksmith to tackle the door opening using a professional, brand-name drill. It is important that after opening a locked door, the lock, lock cylinder, and fittings are installed on the door in such a way that no visible damage remains in the end. Tip: To ensure you still have a way to get into your own four walls if you lose your key, it can be useful to give a spare key to a trusted person (mother, father, siblings, etc.).
How can I better protect my entrance door against burglary?
The question of how to better protect an entrance door against burglary is an extremely justified one, especially since we, as a long-standing locksmith service in Munich, unfortunately see all too often that apartment or entrance doors are not sufficiently secured. In general, there is a multitude of sensible measures that can help to make doors significantly more secure. These include, for example, installing high-quality locks with multi-point locking systems or fitting a crossbar bolt (also known as an armored bolt). Furthermore, you should ensure that special protective or security fittings are attached to your entrance doors so that, for instance, the lock cylinder cannot simply be snapped out using specialized tools. In addition, it is of course also worth considering the use of video cameras (surveillance cameras), outdoor lighting, and alarm systems to provide a higher level of burglary protection.
Can I also open my door without a Munich locksmith service?
Many people in Munich standing in front of an entrance door that has slammed shut, been accidentally pulled closed, or is tightly locked wonder whether they absolutely need a Munich locksmith service for the door opening or if they can also carry it out on their own.
Many ask themselves this question simply because they do not want to bear the costs of a professional door opening. As an experienced locksmith service in Munich, however, we would like to point out that attempting it yourself can cause expensive damage to the door, frame, cylinder, lock, or other components. Not infrequently, these damages are significantly higher than the cost of a professional unlocking carried out by a fair and customer-friendly Munich locksmith service.
On the internet today, users can find numerous YouTube videos and instructions on how to take the door opening into their own hands using various tricks and knacks. Often, however, it is not pointed out—or at least not explicitly enough—that these "experiments" can also quickly lead to costly damage. We therefore recommend contacting a fair Munich locksmith service rather than attempting it yourself. Unless, of course, you are technically skilled and highly knowledgeable about locks, doors, and lock cylinders.
Under no circumstances should you fumble around with your door using unsuitable tools borrowed from your neighbor. And certainly not with force. This is a surefire recipe for extremely expensive damage.
Will my personal liability insurance pay for the door opening?
Personal liability insurance (Haftpflichtversicherung) generally does not cover the costs of a door opening if you have accidentally locked yourself out of your apartment. However, the necessary replacement of locks and lock cylinders could be covered if, for example, you lost your ring of keys which included your rented apartment key as well as a master key (for the entrance door of the apartment building, for instance).
If you would like to take out insurance that also covers the costs of a door opening by a locksmith, you have the option, among others, to sign up for a special household insurance policy (Hausratversicherung). Make sure that the corresponding policy actually covers all locksmith services that you absolutely want to have covered by the insurance.
Does my personal liability insurance pay for the door opening?
Since we work with a fixed-price guarantee, you will generally not incur any additional costs if the door opening takes longer than planned. However, the fundamental prerequisite for this is that you described your emergency situation truthfully on the phone. This is because our fixed-price offers are based on your truthful description.
If, for example, we have to open a locked entrance door, but you told us on the phone that the door had merely slammed or clicked shut, then we calculated the fixed price based on incorrect information (from you). In this case, we naturally reserve the right to charge the higher costs for opening a locked door, rather than the lower costs for opening a door that had merely slammed or clicked shut.
Can I contact the Munich locksmith service – Mario Pichelmaier at any time?
The locksmith service "Schlüsseldienst München – Mario Pichelmaier" is a true emergency locksmith service and is therefore on duty 24/7, 365 days a year. You can accordingly call us at any time and hire us for a non-destructive door opening.
What is a bolt breakage?
When a bolt breaks and blocks the normal attempt to open the door, it is referred to as a bolt breakage (Riegelbruch). Bolt breakages occur particularly in locks with multi-point locking systems. Professional door opening in the event of a bolt breakage is fundamentally a tricky matter that only an experienced Munich locksmith service can successfully master.
The locksmith service "Schlüsseldienst München – Mario Pichelmaier" consists of an extremely knowledgeable team that is well-versed in bolt breakages. In addition, we also have the right specialized tools in our case to provide you with professional assistance in the event of a bolt breakage.
What is a latch breakage?
When the latch of a lock breaks and blocks the normal attempt to open the door because it is "stuck" in the strike plate and thus in the door frame, it is referred to as a latch breakage (Fallenbruch). Similar to a bolt breakage, opening a door with a latch breakage is a more complex task. In this case, too, an experienced and knowledgeable Munich locksmith service should be hired—one that is very well-equipped and highly familiar with latch breakages.
