Locksmith & Broken Keys in Bulgaria?

24/7 locksmith help for home, car, and safes - whom to call in Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, and Burgas.

Can a locksmith open my door without drilling?

Usually yes – ask for “non-destructive entry”. Pros carry lishi picks, decoders, and pullers, and can open most cylinders without damage. Drilling is a last resort for damaged or high-security locks; confirm approach and price before dispatch.

What should I do if my key is stuck or snapped?

Stop turning and call a locksmith. Forcing can shear pins and warp the plug. If a fragment is visible, don’t poke it out with tools — trained techs use extractors to avoid further damage.

How much will an emergency call-out cost?

Daytime is commonly 80-120 BGN; nights/holidays are more. Drilling and cylinder replacement involve additional parts and labor. Car remotes and proximity keys cost more due to coding.

Do locksmiths handle car keys and remotes?

Yes – many cut and program chipped keys. Bring your VIN and proof of ownership; complexity and price vary by model.

How do I avoid scams?

Confirm company name, ballpark price, ETA, and that they’ll try non-destructive entry first. Ask for a receipt and to keep the replaced parts.
