In residential buildings put up since the 1970s, from the Olympiades to Paris Rive Gauche, the original front door is often a lightweight door with a three-point lock. We replace it with an A2P-certified security door that complies with the building’s rules; the measuring visit and the quote are free.
Each generation of buildings has left its own front door. Here are the ones we come across in the arrondissement, and what we suggest for each.
Lightweight front doors, metal frames, fire regulations that are often strict in high-rise buildings: the Picard Diamant EI30, both a security door and fire-rated, meets both requirements.
Large housing estates from the 1960s to the 1980s around the Italie 2 shopping centre: standard-sized doors, where an off-the-shelf BP1 security door can usually be fitted without major work.
Recently completed buildings, front doors that meet the regulations but often offer little resistance to break-ins: a Fichet Foxeo S or a Picard Diamant 10 raises the level considerably, with a finish matched to the common areas.
Social housing and co-owned buildings along the boulevards des Maréchaux: we check the building’s rules with you, and the consent of the landlord or the building manager (syndic), before placing any order.
The original door of a recent residential building is designed with fire and noise in mind, rarely break-ins. Replacing it with a certified security door changes the level of protection without changing the look of the common areas, if you choose a similar finish.
Before choosing, ask the building manager for the building’s fire requirements: in a tower block, a fire door may be compulsory. We then take the measurements and suggest the models that suit, with their prices.
| Model | Certification | Price incl. VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Picard Diamant 1082 mm thick, 5 locking points | A2P BP1 | from €3,650 |
| Picard Diamant EI3030-minute fire resistance, 72 mm thick | A2P BP1 | from €4,150 |
| Fichet Foxeo S80 mm thick, 5, 7 or 9 locking points | A2P BP1 | from €5,775 |
| Fichet Spheris S80 mm thick, 5, 7 or 9 locking points | A2P BP1 | from €4,470 |
Starting prices incl. VAT for the models we fit in residential buildings; the final amount depends on the dimensions and the finish chosen.
The free measuring visit sets the exact price.
Unsure about your building’s rules? The building manager (syndic) can give you them; we help you make sense of them.
Yes, provided the new door keeps the required rating: the Picard Diamant EI30 is both fire-rated and A2P BP1 certified. The building manager can tell you the rating required in your building.
Often, yes: many co-ownership rules require a uniform look in the common areas. On the flat side, the finish is up to you.
For a residential building, the Picard Diamant 10 (A2P BP1) is offered at €3,650 incl. VAT; the fire-rated version and the other models are listed in the table above. The final price is set after the measuring visit, which is free.
Generally not: the old door is taken out and the new one fitted in the same visit, adjustments included. You lock up your home that same evening with your new keys.
