Locksmith in Oud-West
Kinkerstraat, Overtoom or a side street near De Hallen: I'm there fast, even in the busiest streets. Damage-free opening where possible and the price agreed in advance.
Your locksmith in Oud-West
Oud-West is densely built and lively: the Kinkerstraat, De Hallen, the Overtoom — and everywhere bikes, delivery traffic and little space. I move through it easily and I'm at your door fast, from the Bilderdijkstraat to the Jan Pieter Heijestraat.
Typical for Oud-West are the upstairs apartments: a shared front door at street level and your own door at the top of the stairs. Two doors means two locks that both need to work well. Many homes have also been thoroughly renovated in recent years, while the locks and hardware were often left behind. I sort that out in a single visit — from new cylinders to keyed-alike sets for the street door and your own door.

Frequently asked questions — locksmith Oud-West
How quickly can you be in Oud-West?
Usually within 15 to 30 minutes. I'm quick on site, even with busy traffic on the Kinkerstraat or Overtoom; at first contact you'll hear a concrete arrival time.
Can you put the street door and my apartment door on one key?
Yes, that's called keyed alike. I fit cylinders that work on the same key, so one key opens both the shared street door and your own apartment door. Convenient — and if you lose it, you replace everything in one go.
We've just renovated. Is it wise to replace the locks?
Usually yes. During a renovation keys have often circulated among contractors and subcontractors. New cylinders are relatively inexpensive and afterwards you know exactly who has access. I'll advise on the right security level (SKG) on the spot.
I'm locked out of my upstairs apartment at night. Will you come?
Feel free to call — you'll hear straight away whether I'm available, including evenings and weekends. An emergency opening starts at €149 at night; you always hear the price upfront on the phone.
What does a locksmith in Oud-West cost?
A standard emergency opening starts at €89 during the day, €119 in the evening and €149 at night. Materials are only added after your approval.
Do I need to prove that I live there?
Yes. For an emergency opening I always ask for ID or other proof that you're entitled to access the home — that's part of working carefully.
