What is a tumbler? A tumbler explained!

The ward is a mechanism in a lock that keeps the bolt blocked until the correct key moves the ward into the exact position required to release the locking mechanism.

A ward can be found, for example, in a Buntbart lock.

In addition, the pins of a profile cylinder are also referred to as locking pins, since they block the rotation of the cylinder core as long as the correct key has not been inserted.

Fixed-price guarantee for the work on your ward mechanism

Unlike many other locksmith services in the Munich area, we already tell you the final price over the phone. Others only provide vague “starting prices,” if at all. In most cases, the final bill ends up significantly higher than the initial estimate. Additional charges and fees are often added, such as material costs, partial-hour billing, evening surcharges, night surcharges, weekend surcharges, and so on. Some even invent arbitrary fees that drive the total cost to extreme levels.

Be cautious about which locksmith you trust with work on your ward mechanism or your lock. Always insist on receiving a clear and final total price before any work begins. If this is not provided, it is strongly advisable to avoid hiring that service.

A reputable locksmith service with a large customer base

Reputable locksmith companies typically have a large customer base. We are no exception. Our clients include police departments, tax investigation offices, courts, bailiff offices, customs authorities, municipalities, veterinary offices, and many more.

When working alongside public officials, we are often involved not only as locksmith experts. In many cases, situations arise that fall within the criminal domain. Our locksmiths have frequently testified as witnesses in court. Our daily work is anything but boring—it can even be highly demanding and intense at times.

If we were an unreliable company in the locksmith industry, we would certainly not receive assignments from public authorities. If you are looking for a trustworthy, honest, and transparent service for work on your ward mechanism or lock, you are in the right place!
