Locksmith in the canton of Lucerne
The canton of Lucerne stretches from Lake Lucerne and the southern slopes of the Rigi to the rolling Lucerne Hinterland on the border with the canton of Bern. Around the city of Lucerne lies a dense urban area with Emmen, Kriens, Horw and the Rontal. Further north come the Seetal with Lake Baldegg, Lake Sempach and the Surental, the Michelsamt and the Wiggertal. To the south-west is the Entlebuch, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve that reaches up to the Napf and Sörenberg.
Journey times vary accordingly. In the Lucerne urban area and in regional centres such as Sursee, our regionally based technicians are usually with you within 20 to 30 minutes. Call-outs to Flühli, Marbach or a farm in the Hinterland take longer. When you call, we tell you honestly when the technician is likely to arrive and give you the price before any work starts. That applies every day of the year, including nights and public holidays.
Doors and locks in the canton of Lucerne
In the Lucerne urban area, for example in Emmen, Kriens or Ebikon, there are many apartment blocks and newer housing developments, most of them with a master key system run by the property management. In the rural municipalities, detached houses and farms dominate, and many farmsteads lie away from the village centre. The Entlebuch and the Hinterland still have older timber houses with traditional locks, and Sörenberg has many holiday flats and chalets. On the phone we check the type of door so the technician brings the right tools; a door that has swung shut is opened without damage in more than 95 % of cases.
Service area in the canton of Lucerne
Besides the municipalities that have their own page, we cover the whole canton: in the Rontal Root, Buchrain and Dierikon, in the Seetal Eschenbach, Ballwil, Hohenrain and Hitzkirch, around Lake Sempach Sempach, Nottwil, Neuenkirch and Eich. In the Michelsamt we serve Beromünster and Rickenbach, in the Wiggertal Dagmersellen and Reiden, in the Hinterland Zell, Ettiswil and Luthern. In the Entlebuch we go to Wolhusen, Entlebuch, Schüpfheim, Escholzmatt-Marbach and Flühli with Sörenberg, and on the southern side of the Rigi to Meggen, Weggis, Vitznau and Greppen. We tell you the likely travel time to your address when you call.
From the lakeside to the Napf
Few cantons in central Switzerland are as varied as Lucerne. On the lake lies the city, with its old town, the Chapel Bridge and the hotels along the quays. To the north and west come Emmen, Kriens, Horw and the Rontal, where many people live in housing developments and commute daily to Lucerne, Zug or Zurich.
Further out the landscape turns rural. Hochdorf is the centre of the Seetal, Sursee that of the Lake Sempach area, and Willisau the small town of the Hinterland. In the Entlebuch the roads climb up to Sörenberg.
Old town house, new estate, farmhouse
In the city we meet old houses with heavy wooden doors, in the suburbs newer blocks with security cylinders, and in the countryside detached houses and farmhouses with a Stöckli.
Situations we see again and again in the canton of Lucerne:
- Flat door swung shut on the way to the laundry room or underground car park
- Keys lost after a concert, a festival or during Fasnacht
- A key broken off in the front door cylinder
- A stiff old lock on a wooden door in the Hinterland or the Entlebuch
- A holiday flat in Sörenberg or on the southern side of the Rigi, key nowhere to be found
Fasnacht, commuter traffic and winter roads
Around Lucerne, the A2 motorway and commuter traffic decide how long the journey takes. During Lucerne Fasnacht the old town is packed for days and partly closed; the technician then walks the last stretch, and an agreed meeting point saves time.
In the Entlebuch and the Hinterland the distances are longer, and winter adds snow and ice. That is why we tell you honestly when we can realistically be with you.
