Herbert Pichelmaier is the owner of the locksmith service. He learned the locksmith trade from none other than his father, Johann Pichelmaier.
Long before 1981, Johann Pichelmaier was a major figure in Munich when it came to door openings. He invented a special tool that was ideal for door openings during that era and was even patented.
Today, not only Herbert Pichelmaier, but also his son Mario, are active as a skilled and honest locksmith in and around Trudering. The Pichelmaier family is a true locksmith family who feel called upon to help Munich residents who have accidentally locked themselves out as quickly as possible at a fixed price!

Our extremely large customer base also includes a large number of police stations in the greater Munich area.

Emergency locksmith service in Munich Trudering with fast response time
Herbert Pichelmaier deliberately founded his locksmith business in 1981 as an emergency locksmith service for Munich Trudering. He knew from his father, Johann, who had already been a locksmith before Herbert Pichelmaier, that people can lock themselves out of their homes or apartments at any time. He also knew that most people want to hire a locksmith in Munich Trudering as quickly as possible in such a situation. Waiting for hours for professional locksmith help is a tough call for some.
Especially in an emergency situation, it is important to be able to hire a fast and reliable emergency locksmith service that can leave immediately after the call is placed in order to arrive at the desired location as quickly as possible. Conventional locksmith services operate with waiting lists. This means that you may well have to wait a very long time for a locksmith because you are at the bottom of the waiting list. Another disadvantage of conventional locksmiths is that they only wait during certain opening hours. If you call us outside of these hours, you can expect to wait until at least the next day.
At Herbert Pichelmaier Locksmith Munich, things are different, as mentioned. We don’t put you on any waiting or appointment list. Furthermore, we are available 24/7, every day of the year. For example, you can call us early on Easter Monday, in the evening on Whit Sunday, or late at night on Christmas Day for a non-destructive door opening. Even at the most unchristian hour, one of our on-call technicians will immediately head out to be with you as quickly as possible.
Fast response times are especially desirable when things need to be done quickly. Emergency situations in which a proper emergency locksmith in Munich Trudering should definitely be called include:
- You’ve closed your door and are now completely desperate because you don’t have a key with you, but there are small children playing in the apartment. Or is there an infant in the apartment who urgently needs supervision?
- You wanted to quickly pop over to your neighbor’s house to get some missing ingredients. Suddenly, the door closed, and you realized you’d locked yourself out. The oven is still on in the kitchen, and there are hot pots on the hot stovetop?
- You want to enter your apartment, but can’t because your key broke off in the door lock. However, you have an important video call with your supervisor in an hour that you shouldn’t miss.
- Your door lock is stuck, and you just can’t unlock it? But you should be taking your vital medication soon?
- You’ve just freshened up in the bathroom and now want to leave. But unfortunately, this isn’t possible because the lock cylinder is acting up and won’t unlock? So, you’ve locked yourself in your own bathroom, which is why you need a reliable locksmith in Munich Trudering as quickly as possible?
The cases just mentioned are, of course, just a few of the ones we encounter on a regular basis. However, these examples quickly demonstrate how important it is to have genuine emergency locksmith services like Herbert Pichelmaier Locksmith Munich!
Non-destructive door openings: We can open approximately 99 out of 100 doors without causing any damage.
As a competent and customer-oriented locksmith in Munich Trudering, we not only focus on 24-hour service and speed, but also on non-destructive, high-quality work. It is therefore extremely important to us that our employees both understand their craft and are equipped with the highest quality tools. Furthermore, we always ensure that we work precisely, carefully, and professionally.
Thanks to our working methods and the use of the best specialized tools, we are able to open approximately 99 out of 100 doors completely without causing any damage. We can usually open even firmly locked doors without any noticeable subsequent damage. Firstly, we only use the best brand-name drill bits from renowned quality manufacturers, and secondly, we know very well how to reattach the cylinder, lock, and door fittings after drilling to ensure no visible damage is left behind.
Furthermore, as a professional locksmith in Munich Trudering, we have special tools in our range that other locksmiths have never heard of. For example, it’s not uncommon for apartment doors that have been closed or pulled shut to be impossible to open with standard locksmith tools. In such a case, inexperienced locksmiths immediately resort to a drill. But this doesn’t have to be the case! For example, we use special devices that allow doors to be opened via the peephole. While these tools aren’t inexpensive to purchase, they are extremely effective. Many customers are thrilled when they see us open doors via the peephole.
Our tip as an experienced locksmith in Munich Trudering: Don’t experiment!
Since special locksmith tools are usually required for damage-free door openings, we, as an experienced locksmith in Munich Trudering, offer you the following advice: Please don’t experiment and don’t even consider opening your closed, closed, or firmly locked front door on your own! This often causes massive damage, which can far exceed the cost of a fair door opening by a professional locksmith.
Some people try it themselves with tools borrowed from a neighbor. Others resort to sheer force. Still others google for instructions or tutorials and attempt to open the door with them. All three options can be very dangerous. How many times have we, as a locksmith in Munich Trudering, had to arrive where the self-help attempt had already failed. Or should we say: where the damage had already been done!?
As an experienced provider of damage-free unlocking, we can immediately see if a layperson has attempted to open the door. This can prove costly for those attempting to do so twice: Firstly, the damage caused must, of course, be professionally repaired. Secondly, after a failed attempt, we also require more time and effort to open the door. We will then have to charge you for this additional effort.
All in all, self-attempts are pointless. Most people attempt to open a door themselves as laypeople because they are afraid of encountering a fraudulent locksmith in Munich Trudering. But “Jugend forscht!” (Youth Research!) is not the right answer here. The solution to the puzzle lies in ensuring that the right locksmith is hired, one who works at a fair and guaranteed fixed price. The locksmith service in Munich – Herbert Pichelmaier – will tell you over the phone how much you will be charged for the respective door opening. There will be no hidden costs!
Experienced locksmith service in Munich Trudering with a wide range of services
You don’t need a door opened, but rather a different locksmith service? Our experienced locksmith service in Munich Trudering offers all standard locksmith services, not only non-destructive door openings, professional lock changes, expert lock cylinder replacements, or professional hardware installations. For example, we can also assist you with various services related to burglary and property protection. Examples include vulnerability analyses and the development of security concepts.
We also offer lock repairs. However, it should be noted that we only repair locks when it still makes sense to do so. Should we determine that replacing them is more appropriate, we will inform you transparently.
We also offer the opening of locks that are not attached to a door. For example, we can also pick bicycle locks, handle locks, safe locks, elevator locks, mailbox locks, gate locks, and many other lock types for you. Here, too, we are happy to provide you with a specific fixed price before opening the lock. This price is stated transparently before the work begins and is then strictly adhered to!

Locksmith Munich Trudering: Frequently Asked Questions
A locked lock, a lost key, or the fear of a break-in – in moments like these, you need a reliable partner. Our locksmith Munich Trudering has been assisting you with expertise, speed, and transparency since its founding in 1981. This comprehensive guide answers the most frequently asked questions about our door openings and other services, provides in-depth knowledge of modern locking technology, and offers valuable tips to avoid emergencies and maximize your security. Our goal is to provide you not only immediate assistance but also long-term guidance.
Why choose our locksmith service in Munich Trudering?
The Munich Trudering locksmith service, run by Herbert Pichelmaier, is more than just an ordinary emergency service. Our family business looks back on over six decades of experience. Herbert's father, Johann, laid the foundation in the 1960s. Herbert's son, Mario, is also an experienced locksmith today.
Our technicians are highly qualified and regularly complete advanced training courses to stay up-to-date with the latest developments – from traditional locking cylinders to digital smart locks. We use only high-quality professional tools to guarantee precise, damage-free work. Transparency is particularly important to us: You will receive a binding, fixed price over the phone, which will be adhered to if your situation is described accurately. Whether in the middle of the night, on weekends, or on holidays – as a 24-hour emergency service, we are available to you at any time.
How quickly can you arrive in Trudering in an emergency?
A key emergency requires immediate action. Our Munich Trudering locksmith service is designed as a 24-hour emergency service to assist you quickly. In Trudering, we can usually reach you within about 30 minutes, depending on traffic, weather, and distance to the scene. Over the phone, we will give you a realistic estimate of our arrival time so that you know exactly when help will arrive. We generally try to provide you with all the important information about the upcoming door unlocking over the phone. This naturally also includes the specific fixed price.
Our fast response time is crucial in critical situations. Imagine your toddler has locked themselves in the bathroom, or you're standing at the door and urgently need medication from your apartment. In moments like these, every minute counts. Our technicians are strategically located throughout the city to minimize response times and prioritize emergencies to help you immediately.
Background information: The average response time for a locksmith in urban areas is 30 to 45 minutes. Our optimized logistics often allow us to be faster, which sets us apart from many of our competitors.
Tip for emergencies: Save our number (089 330 900 90) in your smartphone. This way, you can call directly in an emergency without wasting time searching for a provider.
How much does a professional door opening cost in Trudering?
The cost of opening a door is one of our customers' most important questions. At our locksmith service in Munich Trudering, we focus on maximum transparency and fair prices. For the damage-free opening of a closed door without an automatic lock, we charge a fixed price of €119 during business hours (Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.), including travel expenses and VAT.
More complex scenarios, such as a broken key in the cylinder, a defective locking mechanism, or a lost set of keys, require more effort and are correspondingly more expensive. Calls outside of regular hours – at night, on weekends or holidays – incur surcharges, which will be communicated to you in advance. After you have described your situation in detail, we will give you a binding fixed price over the phone. If unexpected complications arise on site (e.g. a door is locked instead of just closed), we will inform you transparently and only adjust the price with your consent.
Practical example: A customer in Trudering had lost her key and the door was locked. Over the phone, we estimated the cost at 180 euros, as drilling would be necessary. On site, the situation was confirmed, and the price remained as agreed. The customer was impressed by the clarity and fairness.
Tip for cost control: Describe the problem in as much detail as possible – for example, whether the door is locked, whether the key is broken, or whether it is a digital lock. Ask specifically about possible surcharges to ensure complete cost clarity.
Are you a genuine emergency locksmith for Trudering and available around the clock?
Yes, our locksmith service in Munich Trudering is a genuine 24-hour emergency service. Whether it's late at night, on a Sunday morning, or on Christmas Day – we are always available for you. Our technicians are ready to help you in any emergency, be it a closed door, a broken lock, or an urgent lock replacement. Our 24/7 availability makes us the first choice for emergencies in Trudering.
If it's a special emergency, please let us know. In this case, we will also contact the fire department and/or police immediately if necessary.
Is it advisable for a layperson to attempt to open a door in Trudering themselves?
Many people consider opening a locked door themselves using improvised means or online tutorials. We strongly advise against this unless you are an experienced locksmith with the appropriate tools. Amateur attempts often result in serious damage to the lock, cylinder, door leaf, or frame. Such damage can result in repair costs that significantly exceed the cost of professional door opening.
Real-life example: A customer attempted to open his door with a screwdriver and irreparably damaged the cylinder. The subsequent lock replacement cost several hundred euros, while a professional opening would have cost only 119 euros. Our Munich Trudering locksmith service uses special tools and techniques to open doors quickly and without damage, even in complex situations.
Background information: According to statistics from consumer advice centers, around 20% of DIY door openings cause damage that requires additional repairs. Professional service is not only more secure, but often also more cost-effective.
Can Herbert Pichelmaier's team open digital or electronic locks?
Yes, our technicians are experts in opening digital and electronic locks, such as Nuki Smart Locks, biometric systems, or other modern access control systems. Digitalization has revolutionized locking technology, and we are keeping pace with this change. Our specialists regularly participate in training courses and practical workshops to master the latest technologies. Whether it's a classic lock or a state-of-the-art system – we open it professionally and without damage.
Practical example: A customer had a Nuki Smart Lock that stopped responding due to a software error. Our technician was able to open the lock in 15 minutes by temporarily bypassing the electronics without damaging the system. The customer was impressed with our expertise.
Tip for smart lock users: Check your digital lock's batteries regularly and perform software updates. Keep the user manual in an easily accessible place for quick response in an emergency.
What happens if I lose my key?
A lost key is a common problem that we routinely solve. In such cases, precise drilling of the lock is often required to open the door. Our technicians perform this procedure in a way that leaves no visible marks on the door. Upon request, we can replace the lock directly to ensure your security, as a lost key could fall into the wrong hands.
Security aspect: Losing a key poses risks, especially with master keys that provide access to multiple doors. We recommend immediate lock replacement in such cases. Our experts will advise you on-site on the best options, from cost-effective standard cylinders to high-security locking systems.
Practical example: A customer lost his house key, which also opened the underground parking garage. We opened the door and replaced the lock with a modern security lock. The customer felt significantly more secure afterward.
Tip for key loss: Make a list of places where you might have lost the key, and if you have a master key, immediately inform your property management. A new lock gives you the peace of mind that your apartment remains secure.
How long does the actual door opening in Trudering take?
The time it takes to open a door depends on the complexity of the problem. We can often open a closed door without a self-locking mechanism in just a few minutes—in some cases, even seconds. More complex scenarios, such as a defective deadbolt, a broken latch, or a digital lock, can take 20 to 40 minutes. Our technicians are equipped with state-of-the-art tools to make the process as efficient as possible.
Background information: The average time to open a door is 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the type of lock. Our specialized tools significantly reduce this time, especially in complicated cases.
Tip for lock problems: If your lock is stiff or makes unusual noises, have it checked early. Minor defects can often be repaired cost-effectively before an emergency arises.
What requirements do I have to meet as a customer?
To use our services, you must meet the following conditions:
Age of majority: You must be at least 18 years old and legally competent.
Detailed description: Describe the problem in detail so we can give you a binding price. Indicate whether the door is locked, whether the key is lost, or whether you tried to open it yourself.
Proof of authorization: Show us proof that you have access to the apartment, such as an ID with your address, a rental agreement, or proof of ownership. In technical jargon, proof of authorization is also known as proof of legitimacy.
Immediate payment: Payment is made immediately after the service to ensure a smooth process. Later payment by invoice is not possible, as we, as an emergency service, rely on fast processing.
Tip for emergencies: Have your ID ready to expedite the process. A precise description saves time and ensures the correct deployment.
Are your technicians qualified and insured?
Yes, our locksmith service in Munich Trudering has all the necessary qualifications and licenses to legally open doors. Our technicians are professionally trained and regularly attend continuing education courses to stay up-to-date with the latest technology. We are also fully insured, so you are protected in the unlikely event of a claim.
Our reliability is also demonstrated by the fact that we regularly work for the Munich Tax Office and many other authorities, which underscores our trust in the region. Our technicians are not only technically proficient, but also trained to act in a customer-friendly and respectful manner.
Can I cancel an order that has already been placed?
Yes, you can cancel an order at any time. If our technician hasn't left yet, there will be no costs. If they're already on the way, we charge a travel fee of €45 (net, plus VAT). Contact us as soon as possible to avoid additional costs.
Tip for cancellations: If your situation changes (e.g., you find your key), call us immediately to avoid unnecessary trips.
Will my insurance cover the costs of an urgent door opening in Trudering?
Whether your insurance covers the costs depends on your policy. Home contents or liability insurance often reimburses costs for key emergencies, especially if you have additional coverage. Lost or broken keys can be reimbursed under certain conditions. We recommend checking with your insurer in advance to determine whether and to what extent the costs will be covered.
After the service, we will issue you a detailed invoice, which you can submit to your insurance company. This contains all the necessary information, such as date, service, and costs.
Background information: According to a survey by consumer advice centers, around 60% of home insurance policies cover the costs of emergency locksmith services if a corresponding clause is included.
Tip for insurance companies: Check your insurance documents for clauses regarding emergency locksmith services. A brief consultation with your insurer can save you money.
Who bears the costs for opening doors in a rental property – the tenant or the landlord?
In rental properties, the cost coverage depends on the cause of the problem:
Wear and tear: If a lock is defective due to age or wear and tear (e.g., a broken lock latch), the landlord usually bears the costs. Our technicians document the cause to avoid disputes.
Caused by the tenant: If you caused the damage, for example, through a broken key or improper handling, you as the tenant are responsible.
Practical example: A tenant couldn't open her door because the lock latch had broken due to wear and tear. Our technician confirmed the defect, and the landlord covered the costs after presenting us with an invoice.
Tip for tenants: Regularly document the condition of your locks and report wear and tear problems to your landlord early on. This will avoid later discussions about cost allocation.
How do I recognize a dubious locksmith?
Unfortunately, there are providers in the industry who charge excessive prices or use questionable methods. Here are five warning signs you should be aware of:
Lack of local contact information: Reputable providers have a regional address and telephone number. Dubious services often use cell phone numbers or addresses outside the region. You should be particularly cautious with addresses far outside of Trudering, as these could be dubious intermediaries.
Unclear pricing: A trustworthy provider will give you a fixed price after a detailed description. Vague statements are a red flag! Please also don't fall for dubious starting price tricks. These are often used by dubious providers in the locksmith industry.
Excessive surcharges: Ask about surcharges for night or holiday work. Unusually high fees indicate extortion. If a standard door opening costs several hundred euros, you're falling victim to a scammer.
Negative reviews: Research customer reviews and focus primarily on the negative ones. Frequent complaints about "rip-offs" or "overpriced" are a red flag. We advise you not to contact a locksmith in Munich Trudering who obviously operates unfairly.
Lack of transparency: If a provider doesn't clearly explain their services or gives evasive answers, please be cautious. Please also do not sign any contracts that contain clauses you don't understand! Some scammers use contracts to try to legitimize their fraudulent methods.
Tip for selecting a provider: Check the provider's website for complete legal information, clear pricing information, and positive customer reviews. A quick look at online platforms can help you identify reputable providers.
Will I receive an invoice for the door opening service in Trudering?
Yes, after each service, we issue you a legally compliant invoice containing all relevant details: date, type of service, costs, and our contact details. We operate in a tax-compliant manner and comply with all legal requirements. Our reliability is also demonstrated by the fact that we are regularly commissioned by the Munich Tax Office. Our reputation as a properly acting emergency locksmith service for Trudering is extremely important to us, as there are too many black sheep in our industry who try to rip off unsuspecting people with unfair tricks.
