Whether after a break-in, lost key, or tenant change — lock replacement is one of the most common services we handle as a locksmith in Vienna. A new cylinder starts at €89 including installation, and our technician can be at your door the same day. Security cylinders with a restricted key card start at €119, premium cylinders from EVVA or KESO at €159. You receive the binding price by phone before we leave.
Standard, Security, or Premium — which cylinder fits?
Not everyone needs the most expensive cylinder. But we do not install cheap no-name products that jam after a year. The overview below shows the three quality levels we offer — each including installation and 3 keys.
| Feature | Standard | Security | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price incl. installation | from €89 | from €119 | from €159 |
| Brands | ABUS, DOM, BKS | EVVA, KESO, ABUS XP20 | EVVA 4KS, KESO 4000 |
| Security card | No | Yes | Yes |
| Drill protection | Basic | Enhanced | Highest level |
| Pick resistance | Basic | Enhanced | Highest level |
| Recommended for | Interior doors, cellars | Apartment doors | Main doors, post break-in |
Our recommendation for apartment doors: A security cylinder from €119 with a security card. This prevents unauthorized key copies — a level of protection the standard cylinder does not offer.
Fixed price guarantee: You receive the binding total price by phone before our technician leaves. What we quote is what you pay. All prices in detail
Five situations, one service: When to replace your lock
After a break-in — replace immediately
Even if the lock is not visibly damaged, you cannot know whether an impression was taken. Recommendation: Premium cylinder (EVVA 4KS or KESO) from €159 — maximum drill and pick resistance. Important: Call the police first, then call us. Our invoice meets insurance requirements.
After key loss — eliminate the risk
Could the key be linked to your address? Was it together with your car key, registration, or company ID? When in doubt: new lock. Recommendation: Security cylinder from €119 with security card — any future loss is also controlled.
Tenant change — take full control
Just moved in? You do not know how many key copies exist from the previous tenant, their partner, or the neighbour. A lock replacement is the fastest path to security. Recommendation: Security cylinder from €119 — the security card prevents future unauthorized copies.
Faulty cylinder — before it locks you out
Does the key stick, turn with difficulty, or no longer come out smoothly? The lock is at end of life. Replace it now — before you are locked out and need a door opening. Recommendation: Standard cylinder from €89 or security cylinder from €119, depending on the door type.
After a separation — restore clarity
An uncomfortable but important topic: if you are not sure all keys were returned, a new lock gives you back control. Recommendation: Security cylinder from €119 with security card — only you decide who gets a key.

Why EVVA? Austrian quality, made in Vienna
EVVA Sicherheitstechnologie is a Viennese company that has been producing lock cylinders in Vienna since 1919. The EVVA 4KS offers patented copy protection, the highest levels of drill and pick resistance, and is considered the benchmark for security cylinders in Austria. As a Vienna-based locksmith, we prefer EVVA — short supply chains, fast key reordering, and local service directly from the manufacturer. If you want the best cylinder made in Austria, EVVA is our first recommendation.
Surcharges and special cases
Cylinder prices apply during regular working hours (Mon–Fri 08:00–17:00). Outside these hours, standard surcharges apply:
- Evening (17:00–22:00): +€49
- Night (22:00–08:00): +€59
- Weekend & public holiday (all day): +€59
If we need to open your door first — for example because you are locked out — door opening costs are added. However, we confirm the total price (opening + cylinder change) by phone before we leave. All prices are listed on our price page.
After a break-in: Call the police first and have the break-in documented. Then call us at 01 997 71 90. We come at night too — as a 24/7 emergency service.
Special requirements
Multi-point locks
Modern apartment doors and security doors often have 3-point or 5-point locking. We replace these cylinders as well — just describe your door situation by phone so our technician brings the right materials.
Keyed-alike cylinders
Multiple doors with one key? We plan and supply keyed-alike cylinder sets — ideal for apartment plus cellar, or office spaces with multiple access points.
Locking systems for apartment buildings
We regularly work with property managers and owners' associations. From planning through installation to ordering individual replacement cylinders — talk to us.
