The 2nd is the smallest arrondissement in Paris, and one of the busiest: workshops and start-ups in the Sentier, offices around the Bourse, shops on rue Montorgueil, covered passages. Our locksmiths come out here 24/7, to homes and business premises alike, and give you the price before they set off. A daytime door opening starts at €119 incl. VAT.
Prices incl. VAT, call-out included within Paris, confirmed by phone before the locksmith sets off.
The same price list, incl. VAT, as everywhere else in Paris, for private customers and businesses alike. Lock, door reinforcement or security door: free quote, and an invoice in the company’s name if needed.
“From” prices vary with the door and the hardware chosen; you are given the exact amount before the job.
These are the arrondissement’s four administrative quarters. In less than one square kilometre, rue de la Paix, the Bourse, the Sentier and the Grands Boulevards sit side by side, all the way to porte Saint-Denis.
Jewellers on rue de la Paix, head offices and professional firms on avenue de l’Opéra: the quarter comes alive mainly during the week. For offices, we come early in the morning or once the staff have left; for the flats on the upper floors, at any hour.
Around the palais Brongniart and the Bibliothèque nationale, on rue de Richelieu, the old buildings house offices and homes. The galerie Vivienne, the galerie Colbert and the passage des Panoramas close in the evening: for a shop in one of the passages, let the manager know so they can open the gate for us.
Between place des Victoires and rue Montorgueil, a pedestrian street lined with the stalls of greengrocers, fishmongers and pastry shops, the small old buildings are home to many young professionals and flatshares. When a flatmate moves out, a new cylinder saves you any nasty surprises.
Agencies in former garment workshops, start-ups and showrooms share the floors of rue du Sentier, rue de Cléry and the streets around place du Caire. Office doors, stockroom doors, shop shutters: we handle them all, and also repair the quarter’s metal shutters.
North of the Grands Boulevards, the 9th and the 10th begin: see our locksmith Paris 9 and locksmith Paris 10 pages.
An office door slammed shut with the pass and keys inside, a key broken in a workshop lock on a Friday evening, a flat double-locked when you get back from dinner on rue Montorgueil: our locksmiths come out at any hour. The Sentier’s buildings, with their narrow staircases and many doors on each landing, hold no secrets for them.
For businesses, the invoice can be made out in the company’s name. You are given the price incl. VAT before the locksmith sets off.
In the evening, from 8pm to midnight, expect to pay 30% more than the daytime rate, and 50% more after midnight. No surcharge on Saturdays and Sundays.
From the landing, it takes a few seconds to photograph the lock: we recognise the model and give you the price incl. VAT before we set off.
Hello, door slammed shut with my keys inside, rue Montorgueil. Can you come?
Hello! It’s a surface-mounted lock and the door is only slammed shut: €119 incl. VAT during the day. A locksmith is setting off right away and will call you when he arrives.
Thanks, I’ll wait in the building’s entrance hall.
In shared premises, the question is not just how strong the lock is, but also who has the key. We fit doors in the 2nd with cylinders suited to the way a team works.
A single key for the entrance, the office and the stockroom, or different keys for different people: it all depends on how the premises are organised. The options are set out on our lock change in Paris 2 page. For the entrance door itself, we can fit an office security door, with a free quote.

An unusual situation? Describe it to us on the phone: we’ll tell you straight away what can be done.
Yes: to change a lock or open a door in your offices, we can come early in the morning, in the evening or at the weekend. When you call, tell us who will let us into the building and open the carriage gate.
When the passage gate is closed, the manager or the caretaker has to let us in. Let them know, or give us their contact details: we coordinate with them before setting off.
Slammed shut, €129 incl. VAT during the day; locked, €149. For a standard door slammed shut, allow €119. In the evening and at night, the surcharge is given with the price, before we set off.
Not necessarily: if the lost keys had no address or company name on them, changing the cylinder on the main door is often enough. If they opened several doors, we change the cylinders concerned, preferably keyed alike. It is all explained on our lock change in Paris 2 page.
Yes, with a breakdown of parts, labour and VAT. Give us the company’s registered name and billing address when you call or on site.
Yes, for security keys from the main brands: order them on our key copying page, with the card of ownership if the key is protected. For a large team, a protected key lets you keep track of every copy.
