Tips for Locked Out in Leuven
Locked Out in Leuven
Locked out in Leuven: say whether the door was locked with a key and whether a key remains inside. Have proof of access ready.
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.

Frequently asked questions
What is the arrival time in Leuven?
The estimate depends on your address and availability when you call. No identical arrival time is guaranteed for every municipality.
How do I confirm the conditions before you travel?
Describe the problem and ask for the total price, travel charges and any supplements. The amount is confirmed before you agree. If an on-site inspection changes the required work, we ask for your agreement again.
Can you open the door using non-destructive methods when the mechanism allows, to avoid damaging it?
We prefer a non-destructive method when the door and mechanism allow it. A damaged or locked mechanism may require drilling or replacement, explained before you agree.
Does the whole lock need replacing?
Not always. An adjustment or replacement of just the cylinder may be enough, depending on the diagnosis. Compatibility and parts availability are checked before the work is confirmed.
What should I prepare before you arrive?
Your full address, door type, symptoms and proof of your right to access the property. For a shared entrance, notify the building manager. Do not force a key that resists.
Can I call at night or on Sunday?
Yes, you can call 24/7. Availability, timing and any supplements are confirmed during the call, before dispatch.
