A border town with its own character
Kerkrade sits right against Germany. On the Nieuwstraat the border runs down the middle of the road, and many residents work, shop or have family on the other side in Herzogenrath. So we regularly get calls from people with a German car or a German lock on their door. No problem: we work with cylinders in standard European sizes and open cars of every make.
Do you live just across the border in Herzogenrath or Kohlscheid? You can call us too; see locksmith Herzogenrath.
Mining history in the houses
Kerkrade is one of the oldest mining towns in the Netherlands. Districts such as Gracht and Kaalheide still have streets of miners' houses. They are often well kept, but the locks and fittings are sometimes decades old. A cylinder without a test mark sticking far out of the escutcheon can be snapped in seconds.
We then recommend an SKG*** cylinder with anti-snap protection (from €129) and a security rosette. The existing lock can usually stay. That makes an old front door a lot safer without buying a new door.
Visitors to GaiaZOO, Continium and the stadium
Kerkrade draws many visitors: GaiaZOO, the Continium, Rolduc Abbey and matches at the Parkstad Limburg Stadion. On busy days we regularly get calls from people whose car key is in the boot or on the seat. We open the car on the spot in the car park, without damage, from €99. Tell us the car park and the make of the car when you call.
Flats in the centre
Around the Markt, the Hoofdstraat and the streets towards the station, many people live in flats. If the shared front door is locked and your key is inside, we help there first and then at your own door. Before we open, we ask for proof that you live there; if it is inside, you show it right afterwards.
After a break-in in Kerkrade
After a break-in, call the police first. Then we come, even in the middle of the night, to lock up your home again. We replace a snapped cylinder straight away; if the frame is damaged, we fit a temporary closure. You receive a clear invoice for the insurance.

Kerkrade is bigger than just the centre. We also cover Eygelshoven, Chevremont, Bleijerheide, Terwinselen, Spekholzerheide and Holz. The response time from Heerlen is about the same everywhere: 20 to 30 minutes.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about a locksmith in Kerkrade
Do you also open cars with German number plates?
Yes, the registration makes no difference. We open almost every make without damage. After opening we ask for the car papers and ID.
Do you also come to Rolduc Abbey or GaiaZOO?
Yes, to car parks at attractions and events too. Tell us exactly where the car is when you call.
How quickly can you reach Kerkrade centre?
Usually within 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the time of day. At night it is often quicker.
How quickly can a locksmith get to Kerkrade?
Expect about 20 to 30 minutes in Kerkrade. Kerkrade is 6.3 km from Heerlen as the crow flies. On the phone we give you an honest estimate.
Which cylinder is best for my front door?
Three stars means the cylinder resists an attack for at least five minutes and has anti-snap (core-pulling) protection. It also meets the Dutch Police Secure Housing standard.
Half my key is stuck in the cylinder. Can you help?
Yes. We pull the piece out with a thin extraction hook. If the cylinder is damaged, we fit a new one on the spot.
Can you open the door without damage?
Usually, yes. Only with a double-locked door and a heavy security cylinder may the cylinder need replacing. We discuss that with you first.

Yes. We are available 24/7 and also drive to Kerkrade at night, at weekends and on public holidays.
There has been a break-in. What should I do?
Yes, at night too. We replace the damaged cylinder or provide a temporary closure so you are secure again.
Do you open cars in Kerkrade as well?
Call us with the make and where the car is parked. We open it with an air wedge and long-reach tool, without scratches. From €99.
Do I need to prove that I live there?
Yes. Before we open a door we ask for ID or other proof that you live there. If it is inside, you show it right after we open the door.
