Wieber Locksmith's Shop
Surrounded by flagship stores of international luxury brands, the Wieber locksmith's shop with its hidden courtyard in the middle of the old town has stood the test of time. Whether it's guild signs, grilles, keys or locks – in this traditional business, high-standard locksmith's craft has been practiced for many centuries.
Far removed from the pragmatic furnishings of contemporary functional workshops, this traditional locksmith's shop is located behind the inconspicuous entrance to Getreidegasse 28: a venerable vault with a glass-roofed courtyard and marble paving. The locksmith's craft has been practised here since 1415, a heritage that Christian and Regina Wieber have masterfully lived up to. Although the day-to-day business consists of contemporary commissions, the Wieber locksmith's workshop is particularly in demand because of its almost historical craftsmanship, some of which is on display in the passageway to the inner courtyard.
Attention to detail is one of their strengths: everything is repaired – from lampshades over kitchen utensils to grave decorations. Any kind of locksmith work required in Salzburg's old town is also in the best of hands: intricate restoration work and new productions that integrate perfectly into the townscape are just as much a part of the programme as the production of guild signs.
- Product range: various productions according to individual wishes, guild signs, scissor grilles, gates, grilles, railings, keys, old locks etc.
- Speciality: locksmith repairs of all kinds, restorations
