Don't get overcharged for a lockout
Cologne has its share of dubious operators who quote a bargain on the phone and hand you a bill many times higher at the door. Here's how to tell a fair locksmith from a trap – and how we're set up to be the former.
Three red flags at the door
If any of these happen, you're likely dealing with an overcharging outfit:
- No clear price up front. A vague "depends, we'll see on site" usually means the price climbs once you're relieved to be let in.
- Drilling a simply latched door. A door that's only on the latch can almost always be opened without damage. Immediate drilling inflates the bill.
- Cash only, no invoice. A proper business gives you a receipt with VAT shown – also what you need to claim it on your taxes.
- What good looks like: a binding price up front, the same figure at the door, card or cash, and a proper invoice.
The right tool for your door
Cologne's housing is a mix, and the lock on your door decides the method. We brief the partner before they arrive so they bring the right kit.
- Altbau (Neustadt-Nord, Sülz and Nippes): older mortise locks and tall, heavy doors – opened without damage in the vast majority of cases.
- New builds (Rheinauhafen and Deutz): multi-point and smart locks that need a specialist, not brute force.
