A manifold is locally \emph{$k$-fold symmetric}, if for any point and any $k$-dimensional vector subspace tangent to this point there exists a local isometry such that this point is a fixed point and the differential of the isometry restricted to that $k$-dimensional vector subspace is minus the identity. We show that for $k \ge 2$, Riemannian, pseudoriemannian and Finslerian locally $k$-fold symmetric manifolds are locally symmetric.
