Locksmith in Paris 6, from Saint-Germain-des-Prés to the Luxembourg

Galleries on rue de Seine, publishers and booksellers near the Odéon, large apartments around the Jardin du Luxembourg: the 6th shelters valuable interiors behind doors that are often old. We open, secure and reinforce doors here 24/7, with the price given before we come out. In the daytime, opening a door that has slammed shut costs €119 incl. VAT.

Monnaie, Odéon, Notre-Dame-des-Champs, Saint-Germain-des-Prés

Four administrative quarters, from the Seine to boulevard du Montparnasse. We work at every address within them, in private homes as well as in galleries, publishing houses and hotels.

La Monnaie, between the Institut and carrefour de Buci

Facing the Louvre across the Seine, the quarter of the Monnaie de Paris and the Institut de France is lined with art galleries, antique dealers and 17th-century buildings. Carriage entrances open onto cobbled courtyards; behind them, the apartments keep their original doors, which we reinforce without spoiling their decoration.

  • Rue Dauphine

  • Cour du Commerce-Saint-André

The Odéon, from the theatre to the Senate

Between the Odéon theatre, the church of Saint-Sulpice and the Senate, the quarter is home to publishers, bookshops and high-ceilinged family apartments. Many doors here still close with a surface-mounted lock: an A2P-certified multipoint mortice lock strengthens the door without spoiling its character.

Notre-Dame-des-Champs, towards Vavin and Montparnasse

South of the Luxembourg, artists’ studios, secondary schools and handsome residential buildings lead down to carrefour Vavin and the brasseries of boulevard du Montparnasse. Ground floors on courtyards and glazed studios need particular care: we secure their entrances without blocking out the light.

Saint-Germain-des-Prés, from the abbey to the Croix-Rouge

Around the abbey church, the literary cafés and rue du Cherche-Midi, fashion boutiques and upmarket apartments share the floors of the same buildings. Clients here often ask us for a high level of security: three-star A2P locks, BP3 security doors, protected-key cylinders.

High-security locks for apartments in the 6th

For a valuable apartment, the lock matters as much as the door. We fit A2P-certified multipoint locks, up to three-star level, and cylinders whose keys can only be copied with the card of ownership.

Forgotten keys, forced door: we come to you in the 6th

Back from a private view without your keys, a gallery door that no longer locks, an apartment burgled over the summer: one call, and a locksmith comes to your address, at any hour. We always start with opening techniques that spare the door.

If the building has a carriage entrance with a door code, or a caretaker, let us know when you call. You know the price incl. VAT before we set off, and you keep a detailed invoice for the job.

Evenings, nights and weekends

The daytime rate also applies on Saturdays and Sundays. It goes up by 30% from 8 pm to midnight, and by 50% after that.

Door opening prices in Paris

Door reinforcement and BP3 security doors

There are three classes, from BP1 to BP3, and the third is the one for high-value interiors. In the 6th, we offer it made to measure, with finishes matched to the panelling, or we reinforce the original door when it deserves to be kept.

Models, finishes and starting prices are set out on our security doors in Paris 6 page. The measuring visit costs you nothing, and neither does the quote.

The right questions before the quote

  • Is the original door valuable? reinforcement keeps it on the landing side.
  • What level should you aim for? BP3 for a collection or valuable objects.
  • A double-leaf entrance? the Picard Diamant Tierce recreates the double door.

Locksmith in Paris 6: the questions you ask us

Another question? Call 07 67 96 22 46, at any hour.

What do the A2P stars on a lock mean?

They show how well the lock resisted break-in attempts during certification testing: one, two or three stars, and the more stars, the longer the lock holds out. The logo appears on the faceplate or on the cylinder.

Do you work in galleries and shops?

Yes: glass doors, storeroom locks, shopfront grilles or shutters. We can come before opening or after closing time, so as to disturb neither the hang nor your customers.

My building is old and well kept: can a security door be fitted?

Yes. On the landing side, the building’s co-owners may require a look close to the existing one: moulded panels, colour, handle. Made-to-measure security doors can meet these requirements; door reinforcement, for its part, keeps the original door.

Security door slammed shut or locked: how much?

In the daytime, €129 incl. VAT if it has slammed shut, €149 if it is locked. In the evening and at night, the higher rate is given to you over the phone, before the locksmith sets off.

Can you make copies of a protected key?

Yes, for most high-security brands. The card of ownership is required with every order: it is what stops anyone else from having your key copied. Orders go through our key copying page.

Are you based in the 6th?

Our office is in the 16th, in western Paris, and is not open to the public. Our locksmiths cover the whole of 75006, from rue de Seine to boulevard du Montparnasse.
