Locksmith in the canton of Aargau

Aargau has been a canton in its own right since 1803 and is today one of the most populous in Switzerland. It has no single large city; instead, life is spread across many medium-sized towns and villages between the Jura and the Lindenberg. Near Brugg, at the so-called Wasserschloss, the Aare, Reuss and Limmat rivers meet, and along these rivers and the A1 and A3 motorways housing, industry and logistics have grown strongly.

For a locksmith this means many call-outs in suburbs and smaller places rather than in one central city. Our technicians are based in the region to keep journeys short: in most municipalities we are with you in 20 to 30 minutes, while in more remote areas such as the upper Fricktal it can take longer. We are available 365 days a year, check your proof of entitlement before every opening and tell you the price before we start. You can pay in cash, by card, with TWINT or on invoice.

Doors and locks in the canton of Aargau

Aargau has an unusually large number of small historic towns: Baden, Bremgarten, Lenzburg, Zofingen, Mellingen, Laufenburg and Kaiserstuhl all have old towns with old front doors and locks that have sometimes been upgraded. Most of the housing stock, however, consists of detached houses and blocks of flats from recent decades, in newer developments usually with a master key system, so a lost key also affects the main entrance, cellar and garage. In the villages of the Fricktal and the Freiamt there are still farmhouses with an attached barn. Commercial and warehouse buildings along the motorways often have their own access rules; there we coordinate the opening with the business.

Service area in the canton of Aargau

Besides the places with their own page, such as Aarau, Baden, Wohlen or Rheinfelden, we cover every municipality in Aargau. In the Wynental and Suhrental, for example, Reinach, Menziken, Gontenschwil, Schöftland and Kölliken; around Lake Hallwil, Seengen, Meisterschwanden and Beinwil am See; in the Freiamt, Villmergen, Sins and Merenschwand. In the north we work in Laufenburg, Kaisten, Stein, Zurzach, Klingnau, Döttingen and Endingen, on the Reuss in Mellingen, around Brugg in Windisch and Birr, and in the Wiggertal in Aarburg, Rothrist and Murgenthal. You will hear the arrival time for your address on the phone.

A canton without a big city

Aargau has no dominant metropolis. Aarau is the cantonal capital, while Baden, Wettingen, Wohlen, Brugg, Lenzburg, Zofingen and Rheinfelden are important regional centres. Between them lie valleys with a character of their own: the Fricktal with its villages along the Rhine, the Freiamt with the Reuss, the Seetal with Lake Hallwil and Lake Baldegg, the Wynental and Suhrental with their industrial villages, and the Zurzibiet in the far north.

We therefore rarely stay in one town but travel from place to place, always asking for the municipality when you call and sending the nearest available technician.

A commuter canton between Zurich, Basel and Bern

Many people in Aargau commute daily to Zurich, Basel or Bern by train or on the A1 and A3, and this shows in the emergencies we see:

  • Keys left on the train or at Aarau, Baden or Brugg station, and arriving home late at night in front of a locked door
  • Door swinging shut while putting the rubbish out early in the morning
  • The spare key is with relatives in another canton and out of reach
  • Congestion on the A1 or around Baden lengthening the journey at rush hour

Old towns, spas and days out

Aargau is also a canton for day trips. The thermal baths in Baden, Bad Zurzach and Rheinfelden, the castles of Lenzburg, Hallwyl and Habsburg and Lake Hallwil attract visitors all year round. Holidaymakers can call us just as locals do. In the historic old towns, such as Bremgarten, Kaiserstuhl or Laufenburg, the lanes are often narrow and only accessible on foot. Describe the way in precisely and the technician will find your entrance without detours.

How it works

Three steps to an open door

Whether you call from Aarau, the Zurzibiet or the upper Freiamt, the procedure is the same everywhere and stays transparent for you.

You call

You call and tell us the municipality, address and what is happening at the door. In large developments it helps to know the entrance or block number.

Technician arrives

A technician from the region sets off; in most municipalities it takes 20 to 30 minutes. On site he tells you the binding price before he begins.

The door is open

Once your ID has been checked, the door is opened. You pay in cash, by card, with TWINT or on invoice and receive a receipt.

Frequently asked questions

What customers ask most often

No, we serve every municipality in the canton, from the Rhine to the border with the canton of Lucerne. How quickly we reach you depends mainly on traffic and the time of day, especially at rush hour around Baden and on the A1. We give you a realistic arrival time when you call, before the technician sets off.

Yes. For property managers and caretaking firms we work on invoice and offer framework agreements covering all your properties in the canton, so payment and procedure do not have to be discussed again for every opening. If a cylinder in your master key system needs replacing, we agree that with you first. The best way to get in touch is our contact form.

In the vast majority of cases, no. If a door has simply swung shut, we open it without damage in over 95 % of cases, older wooden doors included. If it is locked or the lock is faulty, we explain the options and the price beforehand. We only drill with your consent.

Yes, we also work for businesses at night and at weekends. We need proof that you are responsible for the premises, such as a company ID or confirmation from management. Electronic access systems and alarms remain the operator's responsibility; we deal with the mechanical lock. An invoice to the company is possible.

The basis is the same throughout the canton; you will find the ranges on the Prices page. The technician tells you the binding price for your door on site before starting work.

Yes, every Swiss municipality in the Fricktal and the Zurzibiet is part of our service area, even on the Rhine. We do not, however, take on jobs on the German bank of the river.

Yes. We schedule non-urgent work such as a cylinder change by appointment, including early evenings or Saturdays. Write to us using the contact form or give us a call.

Do not try to pull the piece out with a tool, as it often goes further in. Call us: we remove the broken part and check whether the cylinder can still be used.

Yes, we also work for municipalities, schools and clubs. We need confirmation from the responsible office, for example the caretaker or the municipal administration. The invoice can go directly to the municipality.
