Lock Change & Fitting in Germany

When Should You Change Your Lock?

• Moving into a new apartment or house — you don't know who has copies of the existing keys
• After a break-in or attempted break-in
• Lost or stolen keys
• End of a tenancy or change of flatmates
• Lock is worn, stiff, or showing signs of tampering

Which Lock Is Right for Germany?

German locks follow DIN standards. Most apartments use a Profilzylinder (profile cylinder). For higher security, we recommend locks certified to DIN EN 1627 resistance class RC 2 or RC 3 — these are often required by German home insurance policies for full burglary coverage.

We stock and fit locks from leading manufacturers including ABUS, Evva, Mul-T-Lock, and Kaba. We advise on the right product for your door, budget, and insurance requirements.

What the Service Includes

• Removal of the old cylinder
• Fitting the new lock cylinder (correct length for your door)
• Function test and adjustment
• Handover of all keys with receipt

Pricing

A standard lock change (labour + mid-range cylinder) typically costs €80 to €180. High-security cylinders are priced separately. We quote before starting work.
