Our Expertise
Security Advice & Professional Expertise
Beyond emergency lockouts, we offer security assessments and recommendations tailored to Erlangen's neighborhoods. Many international residents underestimate the importance of upgrading old locks in older building stock common to the Altstadt area. We advise on pick-resistant locks, deadbolt installation, and multi-point locking systems that meet current German security standards.
Our locksmiths are trained in the latest security technologies and understand German building codes (Bauordnung). We can advise on whether your current locks meet insurance requirements and help you implement solutions that give you peace of mind without excessive cost.
We also offer preventative maintenance services, spare key creation with security considerations, and temporary access solutions for emergency situations involving landlords or property managers.
Erlangen's mix of university housing, corporate apartments, and older rental properties means our team regularly works with the specific lock configurations common to the city's diverse residential stock. From student dorms near the university to office buildings in the Erlangen-Tennenlohe technology park, we know this city's locks.
