Locksmith in the canton of Uri
Uri is a mountain canton along the Gotthard route. From Lake Uri, the south-eastern arm of Lake Lucerne, the Reuss valley climbs past Altdorf and Erstfeld to Göschenen; through the Schöllenen gorge you reach the Urseren valley with Andermatt, Hospental and Realp. Side valleys such as the Schächental, the Maderanertal, the Meiental and the Isenthal branch off the main valley, and Seelisberg sits high above the lake.
Most of Uri's residents live on the valley floor between Flüelen and Erstfeld. There our regionally based technicians are usually with you within 20 to 30 minutes. Call-outs to the Urseren valley, the side valleys or Seelisberg take longer, sometimes considerably so in winter. On the phone we give you an honest arrival time and the price before the technician starts work. We can be reached every day of the year, including nights and public holidays.
Doors and locks in the canton of Uri
On the Uri valley floor, alongside the old village centres, there are many apartment buildings and detached houses from recent decades, mostly with modern security cylinders. In the side valleys timber houses and farmhouses dominate, and their doors sometimes still have older locks. In Andermatt many new apartment buildings, hotels and holiday flats have been built in recent years, often with master key or electronic systems; for such properties we coordinate with the management or operator. On the phone we ask about the type of door, and a door that has swung shut is opened without damage in more than 95 % of cases.
Service area in the canton of Uri
We come to every municipality in Uri. On the valley floor, besides Altdorf, Schattdorf and Erstfeld, which have their own pages, that includes Bürglen, Attinghausen, Seedorf and Flüelen, Sisikon and Bauen on the lake, as well as Isenthal and Seelisberg. In the Schächental we go to Spiringen and Unterschächen, in the Reuss valley to Silenen with Amsteg and Bristen, to Gurtnellen, Wassen and Göschenen. In the Urseren valley we serve Andermatt, Hospental and Realp, as well as the hamlets and holiday homes outside the villages. We tell you how long the journey to your address takes when you call.
A canton along the Gotthard route
Uri is centred entirely on the Reuss valley. On Lake Uri lie Flüelen, Sisikon and Seedorf, then the cantonal capital Altdorf with its William Tell monument, and the municipalities of Schattdorf and Erstfeld. Most of the population lives here, and this is where most of our call-outs take place.
South of Erstfeld the valley narrows. Via Amsteg, Gurtnellen and Wassen you reach Göschenen, where the Gotthard road tunnel begins. To get to Andermatt you pass through the Schöllenen. The Schächental, the Meiental and the Maderanertal branch off to the sides.
Valley floor, side valley, resort
On the valley floor detached houses and apartment buildings from recent decades dominate. In the side valleys and on the slopes there are timber houses, farmhouses and barns, often with older locks. Andermatt has changed a great deal with its new apartment buildings and hotels.
Typical call-outs in the canton of Uri:
- Front door swung shut while clearing snow or fetching the post
- Keys lost on a hike or on the ski slopes
- Holiday flat in Andermatt with the key left inside
- A stiff old lock on a wooden door in the Schächental
- A faulty cylinder in an apartment building on the valley floor
Holiday traffic, passes and winter
On holiday weekends traffic often queues for kilometres in front of the Gotthard on the A2. Arrival can then take a little longer, and we will tell you so openly.
The Klausen, Susten, Furka and Oberalp passes are closed in winter, and heavy snowfall can also slow the journey to Andermatt. For call-outs at higher altitudes we therefore always give you a realistic arrival time.
