Updated on 6 October 2026

Previous owners, earlier tenants, a cleaner, a neighbour who watered the plants: after a move you do not know how many copies of your key are around. Replacing the cylinders in your outside doors is the easiest way to be sure.

It is a quick job. Our technician measures the door, fits a cylinder of the right length and checks that everything locks smoothly. We speak English and explain your options, so you can choose what suits your home and budget.

Which cylinder should you choose?

A standard cylinder costs from € 69 including fitting. For outside doors we usually advise SKG**, from € 89. SKG is the Dutch testing institute for locks, and two stars is the level many insurers ask for.

An SKG*** cylinder, from € 125, adds core pulling protection, which makes it much harder to pull the core out. Security fittings that cover the cylinder cost from € 145 per door.

One key for every door

With keyed-alike cylinders, one key opens your front door, back door and shed. A set of two costs from € 149 including fitting. These always come as a set, so mention it when we call you back.

Security keys with an ownership card can only be copied when the card is shown, from € 15 per key. Standard spare keys cost from € 4.50, cut in our van.

Moving into a rental home

Many internationals rent, near High Tech Campus, close to TU/e or in Strijp-S. The locks usually belong to the landlord or housing corporation. Check your rental contract or ask your landlord before you change anything.

We keep your old cylinder aside so you can put it back when you leave, which avoids discussions about your deposit. Some landlords prefer to arrange the work themselves, so ask first.

Bought a home? Do it in the first week

If you own the home, the locks are yours to replace. We advise doing it in the first week. The same applies if you lose keys with your address on them, or if your bag is stolen.

Our technician can also check the other locks on your outside doors and tell you what meets the Dutch Police Label for Safe Housing. That advice is free, and you hear every price before work starts.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

How much does it cost to change the locks in Eindhoven?

A standard cylinder costs from € 69 including fitting, SKG** from € 89 and SKG*** with core pulling protection from € 125 per cylinder. A keyed-alike set of two costs from € 149. No call-out fee, and we name the price in advance.

Am I allowed to change the locks in a rental home?

That depends on your rental contract. The locks usually belong to the landlord. Often you may replace the cylinder if you put the original back when you leave. Check your contract or ask your landlord first.

Do I need to replace the whole lock?

Usually not. In most Dutch doors you only replace the cylinder, the part your key goes into, which is quicker and cheaper. A worn mortise lock or day and night lock costs from € 125 including fitting.

How long does it take?

One cylinder usually takes well under an hour, including measuring and testing. A home with a front door, back door and shed takes a little longer. We agree a time that suits you, also in the evening.

Can you also cut extra keys?

Yes. Every new cylinder comes with keys, and we cut extra copies in our van from € 4.50. Security keys with an ownership card cost from € 15 and can only be copied with that card.

We help you straight away, day and night. You hear the price before we come and pay when the job is done.
