What is the Difference between Cylinder Change and Lock Change?
It is common to confuse cylinder change (or barrel, sometimes called drum) with complete lock change. Cylinder change only involves replacing the internal part of the mechanism, the one connected to the key. This allows you to get a new set of keys while keeping the same locking mechanism on the door. It is a practical and generally less expensive solution if you want to change your keys without replacing the entire lock.
On the other hand, lock change refers to the complete replacement of the entire locking device fixed on the door. This process includes installing a new complete lock, whether it is mortise or surface-mounted, and may include high-security models with 3 to 9 locking points. Complete lock replacement is recommended in cases of serious malfunctions, damage, or to increase the level of security.

Compatible cylinders (also called adaptable cylinders) are a more economical alternative, and of an equivalent level of security, to a specific product from certain major locksmith brands. You will find below our compatible cylinders with locks from the brands FICHET,PICARD,BRICARD,CISA, VACHETTE, POLLUX,ISEO,MOTTURA,MUEL, VAK,KESO and MUL-T-LOCK!
Why and When to Change a Lock in Paris 1?
Worn or difficult-to-use lock
When your lock shows signs of wear – such as a key that turns poorly, unusual noises, or the need to force even an open door – it is often time to plan a replacement. In the 1st arrondissement of Paris, whether you are near the Louvre, the Palais-Royal, Châtelet, or Place Vendôme, a defective lock represents a direct security risk. A quick intervention helps effectively protect your home or business.
Loss or theft of keys: essential security
In a busy area like Châtelet-Les Halles or around Rue de Rivoli, losing your keys or having them stolen is a common and worrying situation. In this case, immediately replacing your lock is essential to prevent any unauthorized access and restore optimal security.
Broken key in the lock: common emergency in Paris 1
If a key breaks in the lock – especially on an old building door near the Palais-Royal or a business close to the Louvre – access can be completely blocked. An authorized locksmith quickly intervenes to remove the stuck piece and replace the lock if necessary, avoiding costly complications.
After a break-in or attempted intrusion
Neighborhoods like Place Vendôme or Rue Saint-Honoré are not spared from break-in attempts. After a burglary, replacing the lock is an essential step to restore security. Choosing a high-security lock certified A2P strengthens protection and reduces the risk of new intrusions.
Favor quality locks
Whether you face natural wear, key theft, or an emergency, choosing a high-end lock ensures better longevity and enhanced peace of mind. Our team of professional locksmiths in Paris 1 offers solutions adapted to each situation, guaranteeing reliability and lasting security.

Types of Locks and Available Security Options
When it comes to securing your home or premises, the choice of lock type is crucial. Different models offer varying levels of protection, adapted to your security needs and usage constraints.
Mortise Locks: Discreet and integrated into the door, mortise locks are ideal for entrance doors and are often used for their aesthetics. They offer good security while remaining invisible.
Surface-Mounted Locks: Installed on the door and visible from the outside, these locks are known for their solidity. They are perfect for reinforcing the security of older or more fragile doors.
Multipoint Locks: Equipped with several locking points (3, 5, or even 7), multipoint locks offer optimal protection. Recommended for entrance doors, they guarantee enhanced resistance against break-in attempts.
Covered Locks: This type of lock fully protects the linkage and is generally used for large doors or in places requiring advanced security. Covered locks combine solidity and aesthetics.
- Electronic and Connected Locks: Electronic locks allow access control via badges, codes, or mobile applications, and are ideal for offices and buildings. They offer great flexibility in access management while maintaining a high level of security.
Advanced Security Options
To further enhance the security of your lock, it is possible to add accessories such as anti-drill cylinders, reinforcement plates, and anti-picking systems. These elements provide additional protection, making the lock more resistant to break-in attempts.
