Other emergency situations
Weekend locksmith in Brussels: Saturday and Sunday, full service
Lock emergencies have a habit of striking on Saturdays and Sundays. You come back from the shops with your arms full of bags and the door clicks shut behind you. You return from a weekend trip on Sunday evening to find your key will not turn. You spot tool marks around your lock on Saturday morning. None of these situations can wait until Monday.
Janssens can be contacted on Saturdays and Sundays. Availability and the estimated arrival time are confirmed for your address. Ask for the conditions of the proposed work and any supplements before agreeing.
Weekend scenarios we handle regularly
Certain situations crop up more often at the weekend than during the week:
- Door slammed shut during a shopping trip - arms loaded with bags, the door swings closed. Keys on the kitchen counter. This is the most common weekend call and the fastest to resolve: 5 to 10 minutes by bypass.
- Keys lost on a Friday or Saturday night out - a keyring slips out of a pocket at a bar or restaurant. For the right steps to take, see our lost key page.
- Airbnb guests locked out - landlords managing short-term rentals ring us regularly on weekends. The guest arrives, the key safe will not open, or the lock decides not to cooperate. We intervene quickly and discreetly.
- Frozen lock on a winter morning - on cold January and February mornings, cylinders exposed to draughts can freeze solid. A quick de-icing and proper lubrication sorts it in minutes.
What actually happens when you call
You ring 0495 205 400. A technician answers directly - no call centre, no voicemail queue. He asks a few questions: type of door, type of lock if you know it, the exact situation. Then he sets off.
Availability and the estimated arrival time are confirmed by phone for Brussels-Capital, Walloon Brabant and Flemish Brabant. The technician arrives with everything needed in his vehicle: picking tools, replacement cylinders from Vachette, Mul-T-Lock, Wilka, and Bricard, plus a full non-destructive door opening kit.
While you wait
If you are standing outside, do not stay in the cold - a nearby cafe or a helpful neighbour makes the wait far more comfortable. Check that all secondary doors and windows are properly closed. Resist the temptation to try opening the lock yourself with a bank card or screwdriver: you are more likely to damage the lock and make the intervention harder.
If you notice signs of forced entry on your door, take a look at our attempted break-in page and contact the police before touching anything.
