The department stores of boulevard Haussmann, the Drouot auction house, the streets of the Nouvelle Athènes, the cafés of rue des Martyrs: the 9th brings together offices, shops and period flats within a few streets. Our locksmiths come out here 24/7, with the price incl. VAT given before they set off; opening a door slammed shut costs from €119 incl. VAT.
Prices incl. VAT, confirmed by phone before the locksmith sets off.
A door slammed shut as you popped down for bread on rue des Martyrs, keys left at the office near the Opéra, a cylinder that gives out on a night at the theatre: one call, and a locksmith is on the way, at any hour.
Tell us the floor, the code for the main entrance and whether the door is a security door: you get the price incl. VAT before we set off, and the invoice once the job is done.
A 30% surcharge from 8 pm to midnight and 50% after that; weekends stay at daytime rates.
Saint-Georges, Chaussée-d’Antin, Faubourg-Montmartre and Rochechouart: a compact arrondissement, densely packed with offices, theatres and shops, where we work at every address.
Restoration-era town houses, the buildings on place Saint-Georges, the artists’ studios of square d’Orléans: the Nouvelle Athènes still has its old doors, often moulded, which shift with age and damp. Here, a sticking lock often just needs adjusting, not replacing.
Around the Opéra Garnier, the department stores and the church of La Trinité, the Haussmann-era buildings mostly house offices, banks and professional firms. Here we change office locks, open up premises in the morning and secure entrances after an attempted break-in.
Passage Jouffroy and passage Verdeau, the Hôtel Drouot, the Folies Bergère, rue Cadet and its stalls: the area is alive by day and by night. Shopkeepers, entertainment venues and residents call us for a door, a lock or a metal shutter.
Between avenue Trudaine and boulevard de Rochechouart, large apartment buildings built to let line quiet streets, a stone’s throw from Pigalle. The cité Napoléon, on rue Rochechouart, was one of the first workers’ housing estates in Paris. In these buildings, the original front doors can be reinforced without changing their look.
North of boulevard de Clichy and boulevard de Rochechouart, the 18th begins: see our locksmith Paris 18 page.
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 de Navarin. 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 the 9th’s older buildings, many locks wear out before they break: a stiff key, a bolt that rubs, a door you have to pull to close. We start with an adjustment, and only replace what is worn.
When replacement is unavoidable, we fit a high-security cylinder or an A2P-certified multipoint lock. The warning signs of a fault, and the adjustments that can be made, are explained on our lock change in Paris 9 page.

Our starting prices, from a simple door opening to a security door, are the same throughout Paris. Quotes for door reinforcement and security doors are free.
“From” prices: the exact amount depends on the door, the lock and the time of day, and is given to you by phone.
Another question? The simplest thing is to call us.
No: our office, in western Paris, is not open to customers; our locksmiths come to you, anywhere in the 75009, from the Opéra to Pigalle and from La Trinité to rue de Maubeuge.
Yes: opening premises, changing locks after an employee leaves, repairing a shop’s metal shutter. For shops, see also our metal shutter repair in Paris 9 page.
Not necessarily. In older buildings, the wood moves with the damp and the door shifts out of line: adjusting the striking plate or the hinges is often enough. We check before suggesting a replacement.
€119 incl. VAT during the day, weekends included. For an ordinary locked door, allow €135. After 8 pm, the surcharge is confirmed to you by phone.
Yes: with reinforcement fitted on the inside face, the landing side and its mouldings remain visible. An A2P-certified multipoint lock completes the reinforcement, available from €2,690 incl. VAT.
Yes: for the door of a communal room, a caretaker’s lodge or a cellar, we work at the request of the building manager or the residents’ council, based on a quote, and the invoice is made out to the co-ownership.
