We open doors without damage whenever possible. A door that has simply fallen shut almost always opens without any damage. We also remove broken keys, replace cylinders and locks, make spare keys, and secure your home again after a break-in.
We fit SKG certified locks and cylinders. SKG is the Dutch quality mark for locks that resist burglary, and it is what Dutch insurers usually ask for. We do not work on cars or safes.

On the phone we ask what happened and agree a fixed price before we come. Within Maastricht we are usually there within 30 minutes. In the Heuvelland it is usually within 40 minutes.

You hear the price before we drive to you. If more work turns out to be needed, we explain what and why, and we only continue after you agree. Our prices follow the guideline of the NSSG, the Dutch guild of key and lock specialists. You pay by debit card on the spot or by invoice. We never insist on cash and we never ask you to sign for a blank amount.
