Securing and repairing your door after a burglary

After a burglary, police or fire brigade entry, the door often won't close any more. We secure it today and repair lock, fittings and frame.

What to do now

  1. 1Call the police (110) and don't touch anything until evidence is secured.
  2. 2Take photos of the door, lock and damage — for your insurance.
  3. 3Call us: we lock the door provisionally so you are safe tonight.
  4. 4The next day we repair it or fit a new, more secure lock.

What we do

  • Emergency securing of the door, from €120 labour
  • New cylinder and security plate
  • Replace mortise or multi-point lock
  • Repair frame and strike plate; if heavily damaged, a new door (see Doors)
  • Extra protection: door bar (Panzerriegel) or additional lock

Insurance

After a burglary, home contents insurance often covers the repair — your policy decides. You get a VAT invoice from us and photos of the damage on request.

Frequently asked questions

Do you come at night?

Yes, around the clock. At night we secure the door; the repair can follow the next day.

The police opened my door — who pays?

That depends on the case. We invoice you; questions about reimbursement are for the police or your insurer.

How do I prevent the next break-in?

A cylinder with anti-pull protection, a security plate and, for flat doors, a door bar make prying the door much harder. We advise you on site.
