The sloping streets of Belleville, the passages of Charonne, the buildings on place Gambetta, the houses of the Campagne à Paris: the 20th changes character from one street to the next, and so do its doors. Our locksmiths work here 24/7, with the price agreed on the phone. Opening a door slammed shut costs €119 incl. VAT during the day.
Prices incl. VAT, given on the phone before the locksmith sets off.
Door slammed shut while popping out for bread on rue des Pyrénées, keys lost on the steps of the parc de Belleville, a lock that breaks on a Sunday evening: tell us where you are and we’ll come. You are given the price before the locksmith sets off, and the invoice is handed to you on the spot.
Belleville and Ménilmontant have their stairways and courtyards: tell us the building, the staircase and the floor, so we don’t lose time looking.
The daytime rate applies until 8 pm; it goes up by 30% until midnight, then by 50% at night. At weekends, daytime prices stay the same.
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 des Pyrénées. 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.
These four names are the official quarters of the 20th. We cover every 75020 address within them, from the top of Belleville to Porte de Bagnolet and Porte de Montreuil.
Around the parc de Belleville, with its view over the whole of Paris, the streets climb between old buildings, artists’ studios and the painted walls of rue Dénoyez. Many buildings have neither a lift nor a caretaker: for a door opening, give us the door code and the staircase.
Up on the heights, around place Saint-Fargeau and rue Pelleport, 1930s buildings, newer blocks of flats and quiet streets near Porte des Lilas sit side by side. If you have lost your keys, we change the cylinder of the original lock in a single visit.
Alongside the cemetery, avenue Gambetta and rue des Pyrénées meet at place Gambetta, home to the town hall of the 20th. The Haussmann-era buildings and purpose-built blocks of flats here are home to many families, often behind their original front doors.
Around the church of Saint-Germain-de-Charonne and rue Saint-Blaise, the old village has kept its narrow lanes; further on, rue des Vignoles is lined with passages and cul-de-sacs, and rue de Bagnolet with shops. Houses, workshops and small buildings: doors of every kind.

We work with the main home insurers.
A key that has to be forced, a set of keys given to too many people, a door opened to anyone at all: as a loved one gets older, a few simple changes make the door easier to live with and safer.
We replace a cylinder that has become stiff so the key turns effortlessly, fit a door restrictor so the door can be opened without letting anyone in, or a keypad lock so home carers can get in without a key. Each solution is set out, one by one, on our lock change in Paris 20 page.

The invoice and certification documents we hand over are the ones an insurer may ask for. The details, model by model, are on our security door in Paris 20 page.

A door slammed shut: €119 incl. VAT during the day, and €129 if it is a security door. If it is locked, expect to pay more; you are told the amount before the locksmith sets off.
A worn cylinder or a badly adjusted strike plate makes a key hard to turn. We adjust the lock or change the cylinder; a keypad lock is another option. Our lock change in Paris 20 page explains these solutions in detail.
Of course: most of the old buildings in Belleville and Ménilmontant don’t have one. For a security door, carrying it up to the top floor is planned in advance.
Generally, a police report, a claim made within the time limit set by your policy, and the invoice for the repairs. We give you a detailed invoice for the work. See also our security door in Paris 20 page.
Yes, for security keys, on presentation of the card of ownership: it is what allows us to check that only the cardholders order copies. Orders are placed on our key copying page.
