What our locksmiths can help with
When you are standing in the stairwell without your keys, you need a clear next step. Stark365 arranges an emergency locksmith in Berlin for door openings, keys that have broken off in the lock, lock changes after lost or stolen keys, lock repairs and doors damaged in a break-in. Opening a car or a safe is possible on request – just ask when you call.
Many Berlin flats are in old Altbau buildings with heavy wooden doors, often reached through a courtyard or a back building (Hinterhaus). In Plattenbau estates and new builds you will usually find modern cylinder locks. A door that has simply been pulled shut is handled differently from one that has been locked with the key, so please tell us which applies to you. If you have been burgled, call the police on 110 first.
Give us a ring and tell us your address and what happened. We will tell you on the phone whether and when a locksmith can come out to you, and we organise the right person for the job. On site, the locksmith checks the door and gives you a quote. Only after you say yes does the work start.
While you wait for the locksmith
- Stay nearby: Wait at your front door or the building entrance so the locksmith can find you.
- Spare keys: A flatmate, neighbour, landlord or caretaker (Hausmeister) may have a spare key.
- Proof of address: The locksmith may ask you to show that you live there – an ID or registration certificate (Meldebescheinigung) helps.
- Do not force it: Avoid cards, wire or tools on the lock, as this can cause extra damage.

Frequently asked questions
Do you speak English on the phone?
Our phone team speaks basic English, not fluent English. Please describe your problem in simple words – for example 'locked out' plus your address. You can also read out the German sentences on this page, which makes things easier for both sides.
How much will the door opening cost?
We cannot name a price in advance, because it depends on the door, the lock and the situation. The locksmith looks at it on site and gives you a quote first. Nothing is done until you have agreed to it.
Can you change my lock after I lost my keys?
Yes. If your keys are lost or stolen, a lock change is a sensible step, especially if something with your address was attached to them. Tell us on the phone and we will arrange a locksmith. In a rented flat, please also inform your landlord.
Do you also open cars or safes?
Car and safe openings are only available on request. Mention it when you call and describe the vehicle or the safe. We will then check whether we can arrange a suitable specialist for you.
