German Insurance Requirements
Most German home insurance policies require locks certified to DIN EN 1627 resistance class RC 2 (formerly WK 2) for full burglary coverage. If your door has a standard builder-grade lock, a break-in claim could be partially or fully rejected. We check your door and lock against your policy requirements and advise on what needs upgrading.

Apartments and Rental Properties
For expats renting in Germany: most German landlords allow tenants to upgrade the lock cylinder (Schließzylinder) without modifying the door. At the end of the tenancy, the original cylinder is simply refitted. We carry out upgrades in compliance with your rental contract.
Pricing
A security consultation is free when combined with an installation. RC 2 certified cylinder replacements start at €120 including fitting. Full door security packages vary by door type — we quote on-site.
