Burglary prevention
Why investing in good locks pays off
In 2025 the police registered 93 residential burglaries in the municipality of Emmen, against 96 the year before. Emmen is a municipality of many separate villages, and almost every home stands at ground level with a shed or store built onto the back. The door from that store into the house tends to carry lighter hardware than the front door.

Why Locksmith Emmen
Reliable, transparent, and certified
Locksmith was founded out of frustration with an industry full of rogue practices. Too many people paid sky-high bills for unnecessary drilling or waited hours for a technician who didn’t even show up. We do things differently: with a fixed price, certified technicians, and a 2-year warranty on every lock.

Broken into? These are your next steps

Report to the police
Call 0900-8844 or go to the police station. Keep your report number. Your insurer needs this for the claim.

Send our invoice to your insurance
We send the invoice directly by email. This is itemized and meets the requirements of all major insurers.

Have the locks upgraded, often reimbursed too
Many insurers also reimburse the installation of better locks after a burglary. We are happy to advise you on this free of charge.

✅ Locksmith costs after a burglary: almost always 100% reimbursed
Always keep both the police report and our invoice. Without either of these, the insurer can deny the claim. In doubt? Contact your insurer.
