LOCKSMITH SERVICE OBERSCHLEIßHEIM

What services does Herbert Pichelmaier Locksmith and Unlocking Service offer in Oberschleißheim?

Herbert Pichelmaier Locksmith and Unlocking Service offers all services in Oberschleißheim related to doors, windows, locks, locking cylinders, fittings, and more. As a traditional Bavarian locksmith, we can offer you all the essential services a traditional locksmith should have in store, from damage-free door openings to expert advice on burglary protection and lock and cylinder replacement.

By far the most frequently requested locksmith service from us is non-destructive door unlocking using the very best specialized tools. This is due, among other things, to the fact that Herbert Pichelmaier Lock and Unlocking Service offers a 24-hour emergency service. If someone has locked themselves out of their own home at night, on a Sunday, or on a holiday, you will find in us a reliable partner who can help quickly and effectively, even at the most ungodly hour.

Our employees and technicians are all highly trained and experienced in extremely complex and difficult tasks and challenges. These include, for example, broken latches and broken deadbolts. When a latch is broken, the lock latch is caught in the strike plate in such a way that the door can only be opened with the help of a professional locksmith and a professional door unlocker. The same applies to a broken deadbolt. Both components break, especially after years of wear and tear.

By the way, we not only open door locks, but also locks attached to other objects. Examples include safes, chests, vaults, mailboxes, garage doors, fences, garden gates, bicycles, and many more. We have the best tools and the necessary expertise for all lock openings.

A service that is often requested, especially in the B2B sector, is the installation of special fittings on anti-panic or emergency exit doors. Our Oberschleißheim locksmith service has all the licenses and qualifications to offer and perform such a task.

When it comes to burglary protection, we can offer you all the essential services to help better protect your property(ies) from thieves and burglars. We typically begin with a detailed analysis of your property's weak points and security gaps. Based on this analysis, we create a customized plan that includes concrete suggestions and product recommendations. If you approve the plan, we will procure all hardware and security items as quickly as possible and, upon delivery, professionally install them. Since we have been operating since 1981, we have a very large network of partner companies, suppliers, quality manufacturers, tradespeople, and more. From alarm systems to window grilles to crossbar locks, we install everything that helps significantly increase your burglary protection.

How much does a professional door opening in Oberschleißheim cost?

The cost of a professional door opening in Oberschleißheim depends on the specific type of door opening you require. The timing also plays a role: A door opening that is required in the middle of the night on a public holiday is more expensive than one that is carried out on weekdays during normal business hours.

Suppose your front door has simply closed and you don't have a key with you. The lock doesn't have an automatic locking mechanism, and the door needs to be opened on a regular Monday at lunchtime. In this case, a professional door unlocking service by an expert from Herbert Pichelmaier Lock and Unlocking Services costs EUR 55 net. The travel fee is set at EUR 45 net. The gross cost is EUR 119 (EUR 100 net plus VAT).

If the door needs to be opened between 6:00 PM and 8:00 AM, on weekends and/or public holidays, special surcharges will apply. These special surcharges will be communicated to you in a transparent and understandable manner before you place your order. This way, you have maximum cost transparency with our Oberschleißheim locksmith service before you even hire us.

Herbert Pichelmaier's locksmith and unlocking service is not known for letting its customers fall into expensive traps. It enjoys an excellent reputation and therefore receives many orders from authorities, institutions, and companies of all kinds.

How long does it take for the professional locksmith to arrive at your location in Oberschleißheim?

Our Oberschleißheim locksmith service is committed to arriving at your location in Oberschleißheim as quickly as possible, as we are a true emergency locksmith service. We don't place your name on any appointment or waiting list that is processed chronologically; instead, we give your order immediate priority. In most cases, our professional locksmith will be with you in Oberschleißheim within only about 30 minutes.

However, we will generally let you know approximately when we will arrive over the phone, as the travel time also depends on factors beyond our control, such as traffic jams, weather conditions, and similar parameters. However, since we constantly monitor traffic jam reports and, of course, are also aware of the current weather conditions, we can tell you exactly when we can begin the non-destructive door unlocking shortly before you call.

In extremely critical emergencies, we will try to get to you as quickly as possible. However, if it's a matter of life and death, please call either the fire department or the police. Contacting a locksmith, whether emergency or not, should not be your first choice in these cases.

What happens if the door unlocking process in Oberschleißheim takes longer than planned?

If our locksmith takes too long to unlock the door in Oberschleißheim, you will not incur any additional charges. A fixed price is a fixed price. As an honest and upright locksmith in Oberschleißheim, we adhere to the fixed prices we quote. As a matter of principle. There is one exception to this: If you did not describe the situation to us correctly over the phone.

If our locksmith has to open a locked door without causing any damage, even though you stated that the door was merely closed, we reserve the right to charge you for the additional costs. We therefore ask you to remain truthful when describing your situation and to describe the situation as precisely and realistically as possible. The calculation of the fixed price is inevitably based on the information you provided over the phone. In the event of an incorrect assumption on our part, we reserve the right to subsequently change the fixed price. We ask for your understanding in this matter.

Can I really call Herbert Pichelmaier's Oberschleißheim locksmith service at any time?

Because Herbert Pichelmaier's locksmith and unlocking service is an emergency locksmith, you can actually reach us at any time in an emergency and commission us for competent and professional locksmith work. We are there for you every day of the year, every hour of the day. Especially when it comes to opening doors, it's important that there are genuine emergency services that can assist with non-destructive unlocking at any time. After all, you don't choose when you'll find yourself standing in front of a door that you can't open without competent locksmith assistance.

Please note that certain surcharges apply for evening, night, or weekend work. These surcharges will be communicated to you transparently before you place your order, so you have maximum cost transparency.

Lost your key in Oberschleißheim. What should I do?

If you have lost your key and can no longer access your apartment in Oberschleißheim, it is advisable to contact a competent and reliable locksmith in Oberschleißheim. Herbert Pichelmaier's lock and unlocking service can quickly and non-destructively open not only doors that have suddenly been locked or accidentally closed, but also those that are firmly locked.

If a key is lost, the front door is usually locked, so the lock usually has to be drilled out. In this case, we use the best brand-name drill bits and high-quality drill bits to drill the hole as accurately and precisely as possible. Once the lock has been drilled out and the door opened, we reattach all components of the lock and the locking cylinder, as well as the door fittings, so that no damage will be visible after the work is completed.

Key broken! Can Herbert Pichelmaier's locksmith and unlocking service also help in this situation?

Your front door key has broken; one half of the key is in your hand, the other half in the keyway? Herbert Pichelmaier's competent Oberschleißheim locksmith service can also help in this situation with expertise and know-how. Essentially, the work required under these basic conditions is quite similar to that required to open a door in the event of a lost key. Our Oberschleißheim locksmith service offers every type of door and lock opening service. So, if you have a problem with your safe lock, mailbox lock, or bicycle lock, you've come to the right place.

How should I request a door unlocking service in Oberschleißheim?

The Herbert Pichelmaier lock and unlocking service accepts orders by phone, WhatsApp, or email. For urgent door openings that need to be completed as quickly as possible, we recommend contacting us via phone or WhatsApp. This is simply because we are available and can advise you immediately upon call or WhatsApp message. If you send us an email, you may have to wait longer for a response because we don't check our emails regularly.

If you don't need the locksmith work within the next 48 hours, you can of course simply send us an email instead of calling us.

However, the more urgent the situation, the more likely you are to choose the telephone or smartphone to contact us. This is especially true in critical emergency situations where every minute counts. It's not uncommon for us to have to rescue children from a room they've accidentally locked themselves in. Or elderly people who are very forgetful or suffering from dementia.

I have home contents insurance. Could it be that it covers the costs of unlocking a door in Oberschleißheim?

In our experience, standard home contents insurance policies only sometimes cover the costs of unlocking a door. The chances are much better if you have an apartment or house protection policy in addition to your standard home contents insurance. But regardless of the type of home contents insurance and the type of supplementary policies you have, if you need a locksmith to open a door, it is advisable to contact the respective insurer first.

Why? Insurance companies generally require compliance with a very specific procedure so that they ultimately "pay the price." If you fail to follow this prescribed procedure, you risk losing your right to reimbursement. For example, many insurance companies require that you only contact a listed locksmith partner to have your door unlocked. If you use an "unofficial" locksmith, your home contents insurance may no longer cover the costs.

When does my landlord have to pay for door unlocking in Oberschleißheim?

Your landlord will primarily pay for door opening or urgently needed locksmith work in Oberschleißheim if the work has become necessary due to wear and tear. A classic and well-known example is an old profile key whose teeth are so worn that the pins in the lock cylinder can no longer be aligned correctly. If the pins in the cylinder are not correctly aligned, the cylinder core can no longer be turned by the key. Unlocking or locking the door lock is no longer possible with a worn key.

If a professional door opening is necessary due to a worn key, the landlord is generally responsible for the unlocking costs. The same applies to all lock and cylinder components. If a component is so worn that the lock or cylinder needs to be replaced, the landlord is responsible for the costs.

However, you are responsible for paying the bill for the locksmith work or door unlocking if, for example, you find yourself in front of a locked door due to your own fault or by chance.

Can minors commission locksmith work from Herbert Pichelmaier's Oberschleißheim locksmith service?

Persons under the age of 18 cannot commission locksmith work (such as opening a door) from Herbert Pichelmaier's Oberschleißheim locksmith service. We only accept orders from adults with full legal capacity. Minors may only commission metalworking services from us with the written consent of a parent or guardian.

Do I need to sign a written contract to begin unlocking in Oberschleißheim?

No, with our Oberschleißheim locksmith service, it is perfectly sufficient if you order by phone or verbally. Signing a (written) contract is not necessary. It is not usual for a locksmith to require a signed written agreement to begin unlocking in Oberschleißheim. We advise caution in such cases.

Do not sign a contract that you do not fully understand! Contract signing is a tool used, in particular, by dubious companies to legitimize their dubious activities. If you are practically pressured to sign the contract, we advise you to immediately contact the police station responsible for your area. Harassment and intimidation definitely go too far! According to media reports, however, this happens quite frequently.

Will I receive an invoice or receipt after the work in Oberschleißheim is completed?

At our Oberschleißheim locksmith service, you will of course receive an invoice or receipt after the work has been completed. On this invoice, you will find all the details that must be included on a standard commercial invoice. Being able to present a receipt is fundamentally important for tax returns in the B2B sector. Or if you need the receipt to get reimbursed for the necessary locksmith work from your insurance company.

The Herbert Pichelmaier Locksmith and Unlocking Service also performs locksmith work for tax authorities, customs authorities, and police departments. Therefore, we pay close attention to adhering to proper procedures and complying with all legal requirements.

Can I have someone represent me on-site in Oberschleißheim for the locksmith work I need?

Yes, we accept legally correct powers of attorney, so you can have someone represent you on-site in Oberschleißheim for the locksmith work you need. It is important that nothing is missing from this power of attorney. Important components include, for example, the name of the person granting the power of attorney, the name of the authorized representative, the precise purpose (and validity) of the authorization, signature, etc.

We recommend that you contact us by email so that we can send you a sample of a valid power of attorney. We will, of course, accept this power of attorney on the day the locksmith work is performed.

Are there any good tips for quickly identifying a dubious locksmith in Oberschleißheim?

Yes, there are some good tips for quickly and effectively identifying a dubious locksmith in Oberschleißheim. Below you will find a list that may help you:

1. First of all, it is extremely important that you know exactly what the specific costs will be before you begin work or before the actual locksmith work (door opening). Starting prices are of no use! We often see locksmiths advertising completely ridiculous starting prices. They sometimes talk about door openings for under €30. It should be clear that a locksmith cannot make a living on that. Nevertheless, far too many people still fall for starting prices. The nasty surprise then comes in the form of completely excessive additional fees. Our first tip is therefore: Be sure to agree on a fixed price with a specific total amount before work begins. Our Oberschleißheim locksmith service, for example, offers you a fixed price guarantee. This means that you know the total price before work begins. This total price then includes all costs and additional fees.
2. Our second tip: Be sure to check the imprint on the website of the provider you're trying to contact! If you find a company in the imprint that isn't located in or near Oberschleißheim, it's usually an intermediary. Intermediary companies are generally more expensive, or significantly more expensive, than those that operate locally. Alarm bells should also go off if you don't find a regional phone number in the imprint. This also indicates that the locksmith isn't locally based.
3. Our third tip: Read the reviews of the locksmith you're trying to contact! In the digital age, you can quickly determine whether a company is reputable or not. Simply copy the company name from the imprint and enter it into Google, along with "reviews." Alternatively, you can also use AI tools like ChatGPT and ask a question like "Is company x reputable?" If the company being analyzed has too many negative reviews, it's better not to hire them.
4. Our fourth tip concerns the authenticity of the website: Does it have an authentic "About Us" page, and does it include authentic team photos? Is information about the vision, mission, company history, etc. available? Interestingly, many dubious companies invest vast amounts of money in a pixel-perfect and extremely professional website. In doing so, they forget about authenticity. Making a dubious company appear "authentic" is generally difficult. Honest and upright, locally based providers usually have authentic photos on their websites.
5. It can also be helpful to search the website for official seals and partnerships. Does the Oberschleißheim locksmith you want to contact work with official authorities, such as the police or the tax office? Is it a member of a guild or a large association? A locksmith in Oberschleißheim that officially works for police departments is unlikely to rip you off.

With these 5 tips, you should be able to quickly and effectively identify a dubious and shady locksmith in Oberschleißheim. Or one that is honest, sincere, and has integrity.

Tackling the door opening in Oberschleißheim on your own. Is this advisable?

In our opinion, it is not advisable for a layperson without specialized tools to attempt to open a door in Oberschleißheim – essentially on their own. Why? Because such attempts often cause massive damage to the door, lock, locking cylinder, or door frame. And massive damage to these components can be extremely expensive, much more expensive than the cost of a professional, damage-free unlocking service by a highly experienced and technically skilled Oberschleißheim locksmith.

Of course, there are numerous instructions and tutorials on the subject of "door opening" floating around the internet. Many people are then tempted to think: That's easy! I'll just do it myself!

Unfortunately, these instructions and tutorials don't always point out the danger of causing damage to the door or lock if you make the wrong move. In our view, this is irresponsible. And if door openings could be easily performed by laypeople, the emergency locksmith industry would no longer exist.

As a general rule, you should therefore contact a competent locksmith in Oberschleißheim if you need a non-destructive door opening and aren't an experienced locksmith with specialized tools. Please don't use tools borrowed from a neighbor. And if you do, don't use force when opening the door. Your wallet will thank you!

As a locksmith, we are familiar with a wide variety of locks. It doesn't matter whether the lock is attached to a door, a gate, a mailbox, a bicycle, a piece of furniture, or another object. We have the necessary expertise and the right tools for a wide variety of lock openings.

Our Oberschleißheim locksmith service is also well-versed in so-called smart locks. Smart locks are digital locking devices that are becoming increasingly popular. Smart locks can be opened digitally or with a smartphone. Remote control or facial recognition are popular methods for smart locks.

Recently, we've been performing more smart lock door openings, for example, because the smart lock's battery is dead or the smartphone ("as a key") has been lost.

Do you also offer the installation of entire locking systems in Oberschleißheim?

Yes, the experienced Herbert Pichelmaier locksmith and unlocking service, operating since 1981, offers all services related to locking systems in Oberschleißheim. Detailed expert advice is important at the beginning. Which locking system actually makes sense for your property? For larger complexes (such as company buildings or schools), installing a general master key system (also known as a GHS system) makes sense.

Why? The general master key system has multiple key hierarchies and locking cylinder levels. Different master keys can lock the locking cylinders of specific main areas. However, there is also a master key that can truly lock all cylinders. (This key should not be lost if possible!)

For apartment buildings, a master key system is generally not required. A simple master key system is often sufficient here. With a master key system, one master key can lock all cylinders. Individual keys, on the other hand, can only lock one cylinder at a time, usually for the residential unit. We would be happy to advise you on your basic options!

In addition to locking system consulting and installation, as a professional locksmith in Oberschleißheim, we also offer mailbox system consulting and installation. With mailbox systems, the question arises whether it should be freestanding or permanently mounted on the wall. Another question that should be considered in this context is whether the doorbell system should be linked to the mailbox system or not.

We offer maintenance, repair, and spare parts services for both locking systems and mailbox systems. The initial installation of the system is not enough, as maintenance and spare parts work will certainly be required in the long term.
