What is a lever cylinder? The lever cylinder explained simply!

Cam locks are special cylinders equipped with a locking cam and do not feature a standard lock body. The locking cam, which is fixed to the back of the cylinder core, takes on the role of the bolt.

Cam locks are used, among other things, as a “lock” for mailboxes, cabinets (control cabinets), or pieces of furniture (chests of drawers, display cabinets, etc.). They are inserted through a matching hole and fastened with a nut or a clip.

There are many different designs of cam locks with a wide variety of sizes, lengths, diameters, and cross-sectional shapes. There are cam locks with or without a key-retaining function. Most types offer only a low level of resistance or low burglary security, so thieves could overcome them quickly. But then again, what thief wants to empty out a mailbox?

Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier will gladly advise you on the subject of “cam locks.” Our locksmiths know the many designs and types of cam locks very well and can also install them professionally.

Do You Need a New Cam Lock Installed on Your Cabinet or Mailbox?

Do you need a new mailbox cylinder because the old cylinder has given up the ghost or can no longer be used due to wear and tear? Or would you like to have a cam lock installed on your display cabinet, your chest of drawers, or another piece of your furniture? Then you have come to exactly the right address at Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier. Feel free to call us to receive sound advice right during your initial phone call. With us, the technicians and craftsmen answer the phone themselves. We have neither a switchboard nor a secretariat.

As a professional company, expert advice right from the start is very important to us. This is because many locksmith tasks require a lot of specialist knowledge. Thus, only genuine experts can advise you in detail and satisfactorily on more specialized locksmith topics. Regarding door openings, it is also important to be connected to an expert immediately. Because not every door opening is the same. For example, the price depends on whether your door is merely pulled shut or firmly locked. The cylinder and lock also play a role here. Is a standard door without self-locking to be opened, or a door with a special lock and multi-point locking?

With us, you can be sure that you will get qualified answers to your questions right away. And you will also receive a fairly calculated fixed price based on your requirements, which remains valid and will be adhered to even after the work is done.

Installation of Cam Locks, Profile Cylinders, and Co. in the Third Generation

The fact that Mario Pichelmaier knows his way around cylinders of all kinds (cam locks, profile cylinders, and co.) so well is because he is already the third generation to offer professional cylinder work and non-destructive door openings. He belongs to a true family of craftsmen that established its roots in the locksmith industry many decades ago.

Johann Pichelmaier, Mario’s manually gifted grandfather, started his locksmith career back in the 1960s. He quickly made a name for himself, particularly because he invented a locksmith tool that was ultimately even patented. This tool helped many locksmiths effectively open doors that had been pulled shut or slammed. Even though more modern instruments and devices exist today, this beautiful anecdote shows that the Pichelmaier family has dedicated itself to locksmithing.

Mario’s father Herbert (son of Johann) began his locksmith career in 1981, following in Johann’s footsteps. Mario did the same about two decades later. And why not, considering he received numerous tips and tricks from his two ancestors to be able to master all kinds of locksmith work with flying colors.

If you want to commission a real expert for your cylinder work, then you are in the right spot with Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier. We rely on quality craftsmanship, precision, and professionalism. We gladly offer our services at a previously defined, binding fixed price so that you can enjoy maximum price security.

Opening, Replacement, and Installation of Cam Locks at a Guaranteed Fixed Price

You may have already read media reports stating that not every locksmith service is a reputable one. Unfortunately, we must confirm this, as we know the Munich industry very well and know exactly which locksmith service acts fairly and which does not.

To distance ourselves from the black sheep in our industry, we offer our cylinder work at a guaranteed fixed price. This fixed price is already stated on the phone before you hire us. Once it is stated, you can decide for or against hiring us. However, if you choose us as your locksmith, you can assume 100% that the fixed price mentioned on the phone will actually be kept. You will not experience an unpleasant surprise with Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier! We gladly give you our word on this as an honest and upright unlocking service.

Dubious entrepreneurs and untrustworthy locksmiths often proceed as follows: In advertisements, they lure you with absurdly cheap “starting from” prices. An example is a door opening starting from 29.- EUR. Normal common sense already tells you that this price cannot actually be true. Nevertheless, far too many people still fall for this trick. The nasty surprise then comes at the end after the unlocking has been done: in the form of numerous special fees and additional costs that drive the final invoice to astronomical heights.

Please do not fall for these practices and tricks. Please turn to a locksmith service that works with a fixed-price guarantee and tells you the concrete total price before the opening or installation work. It is also helpful to google the company name of the respective locksmith service and read all reviews (especially the bad ones) in detail. In this way, you can quickly determine whether it is a reputable locksmith service or not.

Did the Cam Lock of Your Mailbox Break on a Weekend?

Do you need a 24/7 unlocking service because your cam lock broke of all times on a weekend and you have important mail in your mailbox? We can be reached for you at any time of the day or night, as well as on any day of the week, and we will help you professionally and effectively in every situation. Contact us regardless of the time! Once commissioned, we are generally at your place in only about 30 minutes.

Our experienced and top-trained locksmiths regularly attend training courses and workshops and possess extensive knowledge to be of assistance to you for any cylinder or lock work. They are equipped with professional tools that they also know how to handle. Opening, replacing, or installing a mailbox cylinder is no problem for us!

Furthermore, we would like to point out that with us, you do not end up on an almost endless waiting list and get treated simply as a “number.” Instead, every assignment receives priority level 1 with us. As soon as you turn to us, our team does everything to get to you immediately. Conventional locksmith services only work during fixed opening hours. And most of them put you on a waiting list that they clear from top to bottom before it is finally your turn.

In particularly critical emergency situations, it is therefore not advisable to turn to a locksmith service that does not have a fast and effective emergency service. As an experienced service provider, we know that locksmith services should generally take place as quickly as possible. That is why Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier was founded deliberately and with care as a true emergency locksmith service.

Operating for Authorities, Offices, and Facilities of Various Kinds

Anyone who is fair, transparent, and customer-friendly builds a good reputation. And this reputation also ensures that a locksmith service receives orders not only from private customers, but also from commercial customers, authorities, offices, and institutions of all kinds. This is the case with Locksmith Munich – Mario Pichelmaier. Thus, we are not only frequently in action for private individuals, but also for bailiffs, police officers, tax investigators, representatives of the veterinary authority, customs officers, and many more.

We are also frequently deployed as a Munich locksmith service for municipalities, city administrations, administrative departments, district offices, market towns, and co. We are called here not only for installation work, but also for door openings. If there is a search warrant and a door is simply not opened, we handle the corresponding door opening as a locksmith service for the police officer or the investigator.

It should not be surprising that during our numerous deployments with the police department, judiciary, tax investigation, veterinary office, or customs authority, unpleasant scenes or criminal acts occur every now and then. Many of our locksmiths have therefore often had to give a witness statement in court. Consequently, during deployments with authorities, we are often part of the team not only as locksmiths but also as witnesses.

Other common tasks for governmental or commercial customers include:

• Installation of locks, lock cylinders, and other components of locking and security technology
• Installation of letterbox systems with subsequent maintenance and servicing (replacement of defective cam locks and other components)
• Installation of fire-protection door hardware or anti-panic hardware on fire-protection doors and emergency exits
