Private mansions on rue de Varenne, Haussmann-era buildings on avenue Rapp, shops on rue du Bac: in the 7th, doors are often old, tall and valuable. Our locksmiths open, secure and reinforce them 24/7, with the price given before we set off. Door opening from €119 incl. VAT.
Prices incl. VAT, call-out included within Paris, confirmed by phone before the locksmith sets off.
Prices incl. VAT from our Paris price list. For door reinforcement, a security door or a security lock, we provide a free quote.
“From” prices: the final amount depends on the height of the door, the lock and the model chosen.
Keys left inside the flat when you went out to walk the dog on the Champ-de-Mars, a door that won’t open when you get back from dinner on rue Saint-Dominique, a lock forced over the summer: we come out at any hour, anywhere in the 7th. Our office is across the Seine, in the 16th.
If the building has a caretaker or a carriage entrance with a door code, tell us when you call. The price incl. VAT is given to you before we set off, and you receive the itemised invoice on the spot.
A 30% surcharge between 8 pm and midnight, 50% after midnight. Saturday and Sunday: daytime rate.
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 Cler. 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.
Saint-Thomas-d’Aquin, Les Invalides, École-Militaire and Gros-Caillou: four neighbourhoods, from the Musée d’Orsay to the Eiffel Tower, where we work in flats as well as offices and shops.
From the Musée d’Orsay to the Bon Marché, the heart of the Faubourg Saint-Germain is lined with private mansions, old buildings and shops. Front doors here are often period originals: we favour door reinforcement, which keeps them intact on the landing side, and locks of the same size.
Between the Hôtel des Invalides, the Musée Rodin and the Assemblée nationale, ministries and embassies stand alongside large flats. We work here discreetly, by appointment or in an emergency, whether for a door opening or a lock that needs changing.
Around the École Militaire and place de Fontenoy, late 19th-century buildings have tall front doors and, often, a service staircase. We secure both entrances, so that the service entrance does not remain the flat’s weak point.
On rue Cler and rue Saint-Dominique, shops and cafés keep pace with neighbourhood life; on avenue Rapp and avenue Bosquet, mansion blocks, some of them Art Nouveau, have large double doors. We handle call-outs for the former and reinforce doors for the latter, all the way to quai Branly.
A hundred-year-old oak door deserves better than a hastily fitted lock. We choose models that suit the thickness and height of period doors, surface-mounted or mortice, A2P-certified when the door allows.
For the service staircase door, which is often forgotten, see our lock change in Paris 7 page: we explain there how to bring it up to the level of the main entrance.

On the landing side, a door in the Faubourg Saint-Germain is part of the building’s décor. Reinforcement strengthens it without changing anything about its appearance; when it is too badly damaged, a made-to-measure security door reproduces its proportions and mouldings.
Double-leaf entrances, common around the Champ-de-Mars, can be reinforced or replaced with an A2P BP3-certified double-leaf security door. We take the measurements on site, and the quote is free.

That is our priority in the 7th, where many doors are period originals. To open a door, we always start with non-destructive techniques; to secure it, we prefer reinforcement or a lock of the same size, which leave the door intact on the landing side.
It is not compulsory, but it makes things simpler: they can open the carriage entrance for us if you are waiting outside, and show us the right staircase. Give us their name or the door code when you call.
Yes, by appointment for a lock change, door reinforcement or a measuring visit. In an emergency, you are given the arrival time on the phone, along with the price.
Yes, and we recommend it: a poorly secured service door cancels out the effect of a reinforced front door. See our lock change in Paris 7 page.
€129 incl. VAT during the day, on weekdays and at weekends alike. If it is locked, allow €149. Evening and night rates are given to you on the phone, before we set off.
Don’t try to remove the broken piece with a paper clip: it could slip further into the cylinder. Keep the part left in your hand, as it can be used to cut a copy. How we handle it is explained on our broken key in the lock page.
