Locksmith in the canton of Basel-Landschaft
The canton of Basel-Landschaft has been independent since 1833 and stretches from the densely built Unterbaselbiet right on the city boundary to the Jura valleys of the Oberbaselbiet. Its capital is Liestal, and the other districts are Arlesheim, Sissach, Waldenburg and Laufen. The Laufental has belonged to the canton since 1994.
Call-outs vary accordingly: in Allschwil, Binningen or Muttenz we mostly stand in front of blocks of flats and commercial buildings, in the Ergolz valley or the Waldenburg valley more often in front of detached houses and farmhouses. Our technicians are based in the region. We tell you on the phone how long the journey to your address will take: in the Unterbaselbiet it is usually 20 to 30 minutes, in the more remote valleys it can take longer.
Doors and locks in the canton of Basel-Landschaft
In the Unterbaselbiet the picture is shaped by blocks of flats from the post-war decades, terraced housing estates and newer developments. Master key systems run by the property management are common there, and a lost key can quickly affect several doors. In the village centres of the Oberbaselbiet, by contrast, there are older houses with rim locks or retrofitted cylinders, often next to modern detached houses with multi-point locking. Industrial and commercial sites such as Schweizerhalle often require coordination with the business on site. Before every opening we check what type of door we are dealing with and tell you the price before we start.
Service area in the canton of Basel-Landschaft
We cover every municipality in the canton: in the Leimental Oberwil, Therwil and Ettingen, in the Birs valley Münchenstein, Reinach, Arlesheim and Aesch, along the Ergolz Pratteln, Frenkendorf, Liestal, Lausen and Sissach, the Homburgertal and Waldenburgertal, and in the Laufental Laufen and Zwingen. Basel and Riehen have their own pages.
Unterbaselbiet and Oberbaselbiet
The canton has two faces. The Unterbaselbiet, with municipalities such as Allschwil, Binningen, Birsfelden, Muttenz, Pratteln, Münchenstein and Reinach, has grown together with the city of Basel. There are many rented flats, co-operative estates and large commercial areas here. The Oberbaselbiet around Sissach, Gelterkinden and Waldenburg is more rural, with villages in the side valleys of the Ergolz and farms on the Jura heights.
Then there is the Laufental, centred on Laufen, which borders the cantons of Solothurn and Jura. This variety determines which doors and locks we find and how long the journey takes.
Commuter routes between village and city
Many people in the canton work in Basel. Tram lines run into the Leimental and the Birs valley, and S-Bahn trains link Liestal and the Laufental with the city. Many emergencies happen on exactly these routes:
- Keys left on the tram or train and only missed at home
- Door swinging shut while taking the dog out for a moment
- The spare key is with family in Basel, but nobody can be reached
- A cylinder in a terraced house damaged after an attempted break-in
Roman town, cherry blossom and Jura ridges
Basel-Landschaft is also a place for days out. Augst is home to the Roman town of Augusta Raurica, Arlesheim to its baroque cathedral, and in spring the cherry trees blossom in the Oberbaselbiet. People hike on the Wasserfallen and other Jura heights; in winter there is often snow up there while the valley lies under fog. For hamlets at altitude or isolated farms we plan the journey accordingly and tell you honestly how long it will take.
