A motor cylinder is a special cylinder equipped with a motor. Thanks to the motor drive, it is possible to replace the turning of a key and lock or unlock the door at a specific time.

There are various types of motor cylinders. Some are only compatible with cylinder profiles from the respective manufacturer. Other motor cylinders are also compatible with components from other manufacturers. Therefore, it is advisable to seek expert advice so that prospective customers can purchase products that work together.

Motor cylinders with cables (or wired motor cylinders) are generally powered by a standard electrical system and are computer-controlled.

Activation at the touch of a button

Most motor cylinders can be activated from the inside of the entrance door or next to the entrance door at the touch of a button. This allows residents to leave the building at any time without having to use a key.

There are also numerous radio-controlled systems. These systems either use electricity (from the standard electrical system) or are battery-operated. Access control can be achieved using a transponder, fingerprint (fingerprint reader), code card (card reader), eye scanner, or numeric code display (keypad).

As early as the 1960s, Johann Pichelmaier, Herbert’s father, demonstrated his expertise as a skilled locksmith and developed an innovative device that enabled the quick and effective opening of accidentally closed or suddenly closed residential and entrance doors. The invention quickly gained an excellent reputation in the locksmith industry and was even patented. Herbert began offering professional locksmith services in 1981. Today, Herbert’s son, Mario, also works as a locksmith in Munich and the surrounding area.

The Pichelmaiers are undoubtedly a family of craftsmen who are well-versed in the field of locksmithing. So, if you’re looking for high-quality work on your lock cylinder or motor cylinder, the Munich Locksmith Service – Herbert Pichelmaier is an excellent contact. You can rest assured that you’re in good hands with this specialist.

Quick action is crucial, especially in critical moments. It’s common for a parent to find themselves standing in front of a door that’s been accidentally closed or closed unexpectedly without the key at hand. The infant or toddler is unattended in the home and therefore in danger.

A classic scenario is the urgency of a quick door opening when hot pots are simmering in the kitchen, but you’re standing in front of a slammed front door. In such moments, it’s a blessing to be able to contact a reliable emergency locksmith service that’s available 24/7, every day of the year and doesn’t work on a waiting list that’s processed strictly chronologically, but instead leaves immediately to be on site as quickly as possible.

Fixed price guarantee for the professional installation of an engine cylinder

Our locksmith company is known not only for its 24-hour service, but also for its customer-focused business policy and the commitment to fixed prices quoted before work begins. For over 40 years, we have been known for our fair and transparent business practices, which has earned us the trust and satisfaction of customers from various industries, as well as an excellent reputation.

Our customers needn’t worry about unexpected costs or exaggerated fees. This is one of the reasons why our customer base is so diverse – from residential and commercial customers to government agencies. We guarantee that you won’t be faced with any unforeseen costs after our work is completed, thus ensuring a trusting relationship.

Unfortunately, dubious companies abound in the locksmith industry. They advertise the lowest-priced offers only to rip you off after the work is completed. Please insist that the exact total price is stated and fixed before the locksmith work begins. Starting prices are of no use to you. Please also don’t sign any contracts that you don’t understand before the work begins. The devil is often in the details!

Always contact a locksmith that offers a fixed, binding price. It’s best to Google the company before hiring them and read the most important reviews and customer testimonials (especially the negative ones). This will quickly help you determine whether you’re dealing with a reputable or shady provider.

Proof of Authorization Before We Start Working or Before Installing the Motor Cylinder

Are you wondering whether there are basic requirements you need to meet before we can install your new motor cylinder or perform any other locksmith service? This is a perfectly reasonable question, as there is indeed a crucial prerequisite that must be met before we can begin work.

To ensure that we, as a professional and properly operating locksmith in Munich, do not serve unauthorized persons, we always require our customers to provide clear proof of their authorization before we install a new motor cylinder on an entrance door. This proof must confirm that the customer is actually authorized to order the service at the specified address. This is the only way we can ensure that we don’t accidentally help the wrong person at the wrong door.

When it comes to installing motor cylinders in commercial areas, office buildings, or building complexes (and this is often the case), we require certain documentation that clearly demonstrates that the motor cylinder(s) can and may indeed be installed on the desired doors. It’s best to call us so we can explain this in detail.

For private apartments or private houses, simply presenting an ID card showing the “correct” address is sufficient.
