Tips for Burglary in Diest

Stay calm and do not force the door — forcing it can deform the frame or break the mechanism, turning a simple 150 EUR intervention into an 800 EUR door replacement
Check ground-floor windows first. Never climb the facade, it is dangerous. Ask a neighbor if they can check from their balcony or window
Call a professional locksmith — verify their VAT number and ask for the price by phone BEFORE they come. A serious professional will always give you an indicative rate
Ask for a quote before any work begins. A legitimate locksmith always gives a price by phone. Firmly refuse any provider who says they need to see it in person first without giving a price range
