The price mentioned will not change and will be exactly the same on the bill to the cent. Of course, our fixed price includes all work involved.

Locksmith Gilching – Herbert Pichelmaier: Door opening only with proof of legitimacy
To open the door, we have to insist on a so-called proof of legitimacy to ensure that we really only open the door to you and not to anyone else. You may be wondering who else would pay a locksmith to get into your apartment. Unfortunately, the past has shown that there are always people who want to get into an apartment with the help of a locksmith to which they actually have no access. Of course, this may not be the case in your case, but to be sure, we insist on proof of legitimacy.
Fortunately, this is done very quickly and easily. All you have to do is show us your identity card. All the necessary data is available on this. We can compare the photograph with your face and if the name and address match the apartment to be opened, everything is perfect. Therefore, we cannot accept a driver’s license, for example, as a legitimation certificate, because without the address, someone with the same surname could also try to enter your home through us. In some families there are malicious relatives and they could try to get the locksmith to open the apartment with just such a scam.
Of course, we at the locksmith Gilching understand that you don’t always have your ID at hand at all times. If you want to go for a walk in Gilching, don’t take all the documents with you right away. If the proof of legitimacy is practically directly behind the apartment door, we can open it for you, provided that you show your ID immediately afterwards. If you are unable to do so, we are forced to call in the police. Sometimes it is difficult to provide proof of legitimacy, for example if it is a second home. In the presence of the police, we are of course always allowed to open the apartment for you. This is always a bit unpleasant, but if legitimation cannot be provided because the documents are in another city, this option is always possible. One thing is clear, however, the locksmith Gilching opens the door to every person entitled to access, we do not leave anyone out in the rain.
Herbert Pichelmaier and his team: Your locksmith experts in Gilching
Are you unsure whether the locksmith Gilching is the right provider for you, as we are always talking about apartment doors here, but you need our skills with another lock? Whenever it comes to opening a lock, you have come to the right place at the Gilching locksmith service. For us, it is virtually irrelevant whether we should open your apartment door, the mailbox or the garage door. We open every lock and of course always at a fair fixed price.
Even opening a safe is part of our repertoire. This may sound a bit strange, but you can also lose the key with a safe. In addition, in the event of death, a safe appears every now and then and the bereaved do not know where the key is. Since the contents of the safe are also part of the inheritance, it must be opened and ideally by experts such as the Gilching locksmith service, who ensure that the contents are not damaged.
We stand up against fraudsters
Unfortunately, the locksmith industry is repeatedly haunted by fraudsters who drag the name of all honorable locksmiths into the dirt. Therefore, it is important to us at the locksmith Gilching to educate about the practices of the fraudsters and to show how you can best protect yourself from fraud.
It is particularly important to take a look at the imprint of the respective provider. If there is no imprint, you should immediately distance yourself from the provider and better not call them. In Germany, according to the Telemedia Act, there is an imprint obligation. So if you do not comply with applicable law on your website, you probably do not do so in the other areas either. But even if an imprint exists, you should take a close look at it. Is there a responsible person and who is he? In most cases, this is the company owner. At the locksmith Gilching, for example, you will see the name Mario Pichelmaier there, because he is the owner of the locksmith Gilching and therefore also the person responsible.
But with other providers, it can also happen that there is not a person, but a company. This is nothing reprehensible in itself and not so unusual. Nevertheless, it is interesting to know which company it is? Is it located in Germany? If a foreign company is listed as the responsible party in the imprint, it could possibly be a letterbox company. In such a case, we would clearly advise against contacting the provider, because the door is then open to fraud.
Also look at how the locksmith advertises himself. Are there references or a long company history? Especially newcomers to the industry who cannot yet report on a company history advertise with special skills or outstanding tools. However, those who only and exclusively advertise a low price should be treated with caution. Because it is not uncommon for not only the bill to be cheap, but also the work. If damage occurs when opening the door that could actually have been avoided, the bottom line is that you have not saved anything with the cheap price.
What scammers like to use, however, is a very cheap “from x euros” price. This is then inflated to several hundred euros afterwards, so before awarding the contract, ask us to tell you exactly how the price is made up and whether there may be subsequent changes or additional items. At the Gilching locksmith service, we only work with our fair and transparent fixed prices. If the provider does not offer you a fixed price and is reluctant to make binding statements about the invoice, you should rather choose another locksmith.
Locksmith Gilching – The locksmith with tradition
At the Gilching locksmith service, we are not only very proud of our excellent work in the recent past, but also of our career. The name Pichelmaier has been known for many years. The father of the current owner, Herbert Pichelmaier, was also a passionate locksmith. Johann Pichelmaier even invented a useful special tool for non-destructive door opening at the time. So we were known not only for our excellent work, but also for our ingenuity. This tool was even patented and also used by other locksmiths. At some point, it was replaced by more modern tools, but it will forever have a place in our hearts.
Herbert Pichelmaier himself founded his successful locksmith service in Munich in the 1980s, but since we also go to Gilching, we are also a locksmith Gilching. In the meantime, Herbert’s son Mario Pichelmaier also has his own locksmith service.
Locksmith Gilching: Our regular customers
Every company is proud of its regular customers and we locksmiths are no exception. Of course, our regular customers are more likely to be found with the local authorities and companies. Private individuals usually do not need a locksmith often enough to be called a regular customer. Our always high-quality work is repeatedly used by local authorities such as the police, the judiciary, the municipality or the veterinary office.
Assignments for the veterinary office in particular are sometimes very emotional, for example when it comes to freeing a neglected or abused animal from its prison. Even if it hurts to see the poor animals like this, we are always happy to have helped to bring the animals into a better future.
If you want to call the police your regular customer, you not only have to always deliver first-class work, but also work with staff of integrity without exception. In the event of a police operation, our locksmiths are also on site as witnesses. If there are riots by the residents in the course of the operation, for example when the apartment door is to be opened for a house search, our locksmiths must also testify in court as neutral witnesses. The fact that we are repeatedly commissioned by the authorities is a great praise for us.
The municipality of Gilching in Starnberg
Gilching is a municipality with about 19,000 inhabitants in the northern part of the Upper Bavarian district of Starnberg.

These are Argelsried, Gilching, Rottenried, Neugilching, Steinberg, Talhof, Sankt Gilgen, Wiesmath, Geisenbrunn, Waldhof and Steinlach. These parts of the municipality are divided into so-called settlement types. Among them are the church village, the parish village, the settlement, the village, the estate, the wasteland and the hamlet.
The community was founded around 450 BC by a Celtic tribe. The first mention of the municipality of Gilching took place in a deed of donation from 804. There the place was called “Kiltoahinga”. According to the text of the document, Reginhart donated some of his properties in Pettenbach and Glonn to the monastery “Slechdorf”. This donation was negotiated in the village of Kiltoahinga, today’s Gilching.
