How it works

From your call to an open door in four steps

Call and describe the situation 01

Door shut, key gone or lock broken — just say what happened. We answer the phone ourselves, no call centre in between.

Fixed price on the phone 02

You hear what it costs beforehand — binding, with no "we will see on site". Only then does the technician set off.

Opened without damage 03

We are usually there within 15 to 30 minutes. We open gently first; drilling only happens when the lock leaves no other way.

Pay and get a receipt 04

Cash, EC or credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal. You get a written receipt — done.

FAQ

Common questions about locksmiths in Essen

Short, clear answers on price, arrival time and how it works.

What does a locksmith cost in Essen?

A door that has fallen shut starts at €79, a locked door at €99, each plus a €29.90 call-out fee. Nights, Sundays and public holidays cost more. You hear the binding final price on the phone, before a technician sets off.

How quickly can you be here?

In most Essen districts within 15 to 30 minutes. Our technicians are based in Essen-Altenessen, not out of town. For Kettwig, the southernmost district, allow around 35 minutes.

Will my door be damaged?

Usually not. A door that has fallen shut is opened without drilling. Only if a high-security cylinder is fitted, or the door is deadlocked and cannot be opened any other way, does the cylinder get replaced — and we tell you that beforehand, not afterwards.

Do I have to prove that I live here?

Yes. After the door is open you show ID or another document with this address. That is standard practice in Germany and it protects you: a company that opens without proof will open at someone else's door without proof too.

Do you speak English?

Yes. If it is easier for you, write to us on WhatsApp instead of calling — you can take your time, and we can send you the price in writing.

How can I pay?

Cash, EC or credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal. You always get a written receipt.
