Which Locks Are Frequently Forced Open in Berlin — and How Can You Protect Yourself?

Welche Schlösser werden in Berlin häufig aufgebrochen — und wie schützen Sie sich?

Burglary numbers in Berlin continue to rise, and the lock is often chosen as the first weak point. In this article, you will learn which locks criminals tend to target and – more importantly – how you can protect yourself effectively with suitable measures. Olex Schlüsseldienst is available with expert advice and fast service throughout Berlin and the surrounding area.

Typical Attack Methods and Targeted Locks in Burglary Attempts

Before discussing protective measures, it is worth looking at the methods used by burglars:

Drilling the cylinder: An attacker drills directly into the lock cylinder to destroy it and gain access.
Pulling out the cylinder: If a cylinder protrudes, pliers and leverage can be used to pull it out.
Forcing the door open: Weak door frames or insufficiently anchored locking mechanisms can allow the door to be forced open with leverage.
Lockpicking / picking: With mediocre cylinders, burglars use fine tools to open the lock without visible traces.
Nitric acid attacks: In Berlin, isolated cases have been documented in which offenders used nitric acid to corrode door locks.

Locks that are especially often targeted:

Standard profile cylinders without protective measures: inexpensive, unprotected cylinders are often preferred targets.
Cylinders that protrude beyond the door fitting: if the cylinder sticks out by several millimeters, it is easier to attack.
Missing or inadequate door plates / security fittings: without a protective plate, cylinders are less protected against drilling or pulling.

How to Prevent Your Door Lock from Becoming a Target

1. A Good Security Cylinder (Security Cylinder Berlin)
Choose cylinders with drill protection and pull protection (including core pull protection).
Look for certified models, for example with VdS or SKG marking.
The cylinder should protrude no more than 3 mm beyond the door plate; flush installation is ideal.
Use cylinders with a security card – this allows duplicate keys to be made only when the card is presented.
2. Door Plate with Pull Protection & Security Fittings

A high-quality door plate (security fitting) protects the cylinder directly from the outside. It should:

not be removable from the outside,
achieve at least resistance class ES 1 or ES 2,
have pull protection matched to the cylinder.
3. Multipoint Locking, Bolts & Security Crossbars
A multipoint locking system (e.g. three-point) anchors the door to the frame at the top, center and bottom.
Security crossbar locks or reinforced bars such as security crossbars strengthen the door against being forced open.
This additional protection increases the time needed to force entry – and time is crucial for criminals.
4. Secure Door Frames, Hinges & Hinge Sides
Weak door hinges or exposed hinges are often a vulnerable point – use hinge-side security devices or internal hinge protection.
Reinforce the door frame with strike plates made of hardened steel.
5. Regular Maintenance & Inspection
Occasionally lubricate cylinders with a suitable lubricant – to reduce friction and wear.
Check regularly whether parts are loose or have become loosened.
When moving into a new apartment: replace the cylinder immediately if you are unsure who may have keys.
