Locksmith in Paris 8, from the Champs-Élysées to Saint-Lazare

Offices in the Triangle d’or, Haussmann-era apartments in the Faubourg-du-Roule, shops on rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, buildings in the Europe quarter around Saint-Lazare station: in the 8th, a jammed door can shut you out of a practice as easily as out of a home. Our locksmiths come out 24/7, at a price given before they set off; opening a door slammed shut starts at €119 incl. VAT.

The 8th in four neighbourhoods

Champs-Élysées, Faubourg-du-Roule, Madeleine and Europe: in the four administrative neighbourhoods of the 8th, offices often occupy the grand main floors and family apartments the floors above. We work for both, at any hour.

Champs-Élysées, from avenue Montaigne to the Seine

Between avenue des Champs-Élysées and the Seine, the neighbourhood brings together the couture houses of avenue Montaigne, the head offices of avenue George-V and prestigious buildings around place François-Ier. The doors here are heavy and often fitted with high-security locks from the outset: we work on every brand, Fichet, Bricard and Picard included, without damaging the wood panelling.

  • Avenue des Champs-Élysées
  • Avenue Montaigne
  • Avenue George-V
  • Rue François-Ier
  • Rue Marbeuf
  • Rue de Marignan
  • Cours Albert-Ier
  • Place François-Ier

Faubourg-du-Roule, from the Étoile to the edge of parc Monceau

Around avenue Hoche, avenue de Friedland and rue Daru, where the Saint-Alexandre-Nevsky cathedral stands, late 19th-century buildings house large apartments served by two staircases. The main entrance is well finished; the service door much less so, and that is the one we advise reinforcing first.

  • Avenue Hoche
  • Avenue de Friedland
  • Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré
  • Rue Daru
  • Rue de Courcelles
  • Boulevard Haussmann
  • Rue de Berri
  • Rue Washington

Madeleine, from rue Royale to boulevard Malesherbes

Around the Madeleine church, fine food shops, jewellers and the luxury houses of rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré close every evening behind metal shutters and grilles. Upstairs, professional practices and apartments share the buildings. We handle call-outs for shops and homes alike, and fit locks suited to period doors.

  • Place de la Madeleine
  • Rue Royale
  • Rue Tronchet
  • Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré
  • Rue Boissy-d’Anglas
  • Rue d’Anjou
  • Boulevard Malesherbes
  • Rue de Surène

Europe, around Saint-Lazare station

The neighbourhood owes its name to its streets, named after European cities, from rue de Madrid to rue de Constantinople. Near Saint-Lazare station, Second Empire buildings mix offices, schools and homes; on rue de Rome, instrument makers and music shops still keep their shop windows. Forgot your key as you left to catch a train? We come and open the door, day or night.

  • Rue de Rome
  • Rue de Madrid
  • Rue de Vienne
  • Rue de Constantinople
  • Rue de Saint-Pétersbourg
  • Rue de la Pépinière
  • Place de l’Europe
  • Rue de Naples

High-security locks for apartments and offices

In the 8th, many doors already have a branded lock, but the keys in circulation are not always the right ones. We replace the cylinder like for like or fit an A2P-certified multipoint lock, whether in an apartment or a practice.

For an office where staff come and go, a keypad lock saves you collecting keys every time someone leaves: we explain this option on our lock change in Paris 8 page. Protected keys, for their part, can only be copied on presentation of the card of ownership.

Door shut, keys inside: our call-outs in the 8th

Coming home from dinner on rue de Ponthieu to find the door has slammed shut, discovering on Monday morning that the practice’s lock has been forced, breaking your key in the cylinder just before an appointment: we come out at any hour in the 8th. Our locksmiths set off from the neighbouring 16th.

On the phone, tell us whether it is an office or a home, and how to get into the building: caretaker, door code, key fob. The price, incl. VAT, is agreed on the phone before anyone sets off, and the invoice is left with you on site.

In the evening, until midnight: +30%; after that: +50%; no surcharge on Saturdays or Sundays.

Reinforcing the entrance to an apartment in the 8th

Haussmann-era front door, service door on the back stairs, double doors into the reception rooms: each entrance is dealt with separately. We reinforce the doors you want to keep and install A2P-certified security doors when everything needs replacing.

Door reinforcement covers the door with a steel sheet and adds angle bars and a multipoint lock; a security door replaces the whole door set, frame included. The service door, a common case in the arrondissement, is covered in detail on our security door in Paris 8 page.

Where to start

  • The main entrance: reinforcement if the original door is sound, a new door if it has warped too much.
  • The service door: often thinner, it is replaced with a BP1 security door.
  • The cellar: a reinforced cellar door also protects a practice’s archives.

Offices, apartments, shops: your questions in the 8th

Your situation isn’t listed? Call us and a locksmith will answer.

Do you work in offices outside opening hours?

Yes. To change a lock or cylinders without disrupting your business, we come early in the morning, in the evening or at the weekend. For an emergency, such as an office door that is jammed or has been forced, we come out at any hour.

Can you open a security door without damaging it?

In most cases, yes: a security door that has slammed shut opens without damage. If it is locked, opening it is trickier and may mean replacing the cylinder. During the day, allow €129 incl. VAT for a security door slammed shut and €149 if it is locked.

Does changing the lock at a practice take long?

A cylinder is changed in a single visit, without drilling the door. A multipoint lock takes longer, depending on the door. We agree the time with you so that your appointments are not interrupted.

Do you copy the protected keys for our offices?

Yes, for Fichet, Bricard, Picard, Vachette and other brands. Copying a protected key requires the card of ownership: without it, no copy is made, which is precisely the point of these keys for a business. Order them on our key copying page.

Do you repair the metal shutters of shops on rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré?

Yes: jammed shutter, broken-down motor or key switch, shutter lock. It is all explained on our metal shutter repair in Paris 8 page.

Are you far from the 8th?

Very close: our office is just to the west, in the 16th. It is not open to the public: our locksmiths travel throughout the 75008, from Concorde to place de l’Étoile and from the Seine to boulevard de Courcelles.
