Locksmith or bike-lock specialist? What we do (and skip)
We are not a house locksmith. We are the crew that opens or cuts bike locks, e-bike battery locks, scooter and motorcycle locks on site.
Anything that can be cut open is possible. For a house, door or car, get in touch — we refer you to colleagues.
Why the split: twenty years on the street, own power, own grinder, ownership check. That is a different trade from a cylinder in a front door.
Lost the key to the bike? WhatsApp. Front door? We pass you on, no fuss.
Front door, safe, car: different trade. We open what you can cut on a bike, e-bike, cargo bike, scooter or motorcycle. For a house door we refer you on.
Search ‘locksmith Amsterdam’ and you get agencies that resell the job. With us you reach the people who actually show up. Call or message.
The price is on the site, including call-out within 15 km. No ‘we’ll see’ rate afterwards.
