Locksmith in Leuven: room, home or shared entrance
For a call-out in Leuven, provide the complete address and postcode, including the district. A page covering Leuven does not mean that Janssens has a branch in every district; our registered address is in Schaerbeek and our service covers Belgium.
Locked out of a student room or residence?
Contact the residence manager or landlord to check whether an authorised spare key is available. Explain whether the affected lock belongs to your room or a shared entrance. Do not arrange changes to communal access without checking with the person responsible for the building.
A replacement key or a replacement cylinder?
Tell us whether your key is lost, broken or still available, and whether it opens other doors. An ownership card or a managed key system may affect how a replacement is ordered. See door opening for a locked entrance and cylinder replacement for a damaged cylinder.
KU Leuven residence: check the internal procedure
For the residences concerned, KU Leuven directs residents with forgotten or lost keys to Residence Management or the on-call resident. Check that option and your residence instructions first. For a privately rented room, ask the landlord who may authorise opening or replacement; the university procedure does not automatically apply.
You are back inside, but the key is still missing
Regaining entry does not make a lost key unusable. Say whether it opens only your room or also shared areas. The manager needs to assess the affected entrances before a replacement is chosen. Ordering an ordinary duplicate does not disable the old key.

Diagnosis in Leuven
A door that does not close properly does not always need a new lock. Misalignment, a damaged key and a failed mechanism call for different repairs. An on-site inspection determines the approach.
Locksmith's tip : Do not force a key that resists. Prepare proof of your right to access the property and, if safe, a photo of the door and lock.

Preparing for a locksmith visit in Leuven
Describe the fault without taking the lock apart
Say whether the door slammed shut or was locked, whether the key goes in and turns, and whether the handle moves normally. If you are already inside and the door opens easily, mention whether the problem also occurs with the door open. Do not force it to perform this check. A picture of the whole door and the visible mechanism is more useful than guessing the brand. Do not share a detailed photograph of your key or an access code.
Lock won't turn: causes and solutions
Check what the quoted price includes
Ask about travel to your address, labour, any surcharges, VAT and parts. Does the amount cover opening only or replacement as well? If a part cannot be identified before the visit, clarify what still needs pricing and when your agreement will be requested. A temporary solution and a permanent repair are different jobs.
Locksmith Quotes: Understand and Compare
Check the door before the visit ends
With the technician, check the handle and keys with the door open, then closed when safe to do so. For a shared entrance, check other occupants' access with the building manager too. Keep the installed part references, the keys handed over and the document describing the work.
