Locksmith in Montrouge, area by area

Right up against the 14th arrondissement, Montrouge fits into just over 2 km², between Malakoff, Châtillon, Bagneux, Arcueil and Gentilly. We describe it here area by area, around their landmarks.

The centre, between the town hall, the Beffroi and Saint-Jacques

Around avenue de la République, the centre brings together the town hall, the Beffroi on place Émile-Cresp, the former administrative centre dating from 1934, and the Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur church, a listed historic monument. The Mairie de Montrouge station on line 4 opens between rue Gabriel-Péri and place du Maréchal-Leclerc. On rue Gutenberg, a whole row of buildings is protected. In these older buildings, opening a door slammed shut is usually done without damage.

  • Avenue de la République
  • Rue Gabriel-Péri
  • Place Émile-Cresp
  • Place du Maréchal-Leclerc
  • Rue Gutenberg
  • Avenue Émile-Boutroux
  • Rue Louis-Rolland
  • Rue du 11-Novembre

The Haut-Mesnil and avenue de la Marne, on the Châtillon side

To the west, towards Malakoff and Châtillon, the Haut-Mesnil was largely formed on land taken over from Châtillon and Bagneux in 1875; its school complex dates from the 1930s. The Marne market, avenue Jean-Jaurès and rue Maurice-Arnoux, where the university and the ENS share a site, are its landmarks, not far from the Châtillon – Montrouge terminus. After lost keys, changing the cylinder is often enough, without touching the door.

  • Rue Arthur-Auger
  • Avenue de la Marne
  • Avenue Jean-Jaurès
  • Rue Maurice-Arnoux
  • Rue Camille-Pelletan
  • Avenue Verdier
  • Rue Jules-Chéret

Ferry – Buffalo, from the artists’ studios to avenue du Fort

To the south-east, place Jules-Ferry lines up artists’ studios built in 1930, and the Buffalo residence on rue Carvès carries the Architecture contemporaine remarquable label. Avenue du Fort brings together the Maurice-Genevoix secondary school and the Saint-Luc chapel, a stone’s throw from the school on rue d’Arcueil. In a studio or a large residence alike, we open, repair or replace the lock, and fit an A2P-certified high-security lock where needed.

  • Place Jules-Ferry
  • Rue Carvès
  • Rue Victor-Basch
  • Avenue du Fort
  • Rue d’Arcueil
  • Avenue Léon-Gambetta

The south, from avenue Henri-Ginoux to Barbara station

Opened in 2022, Barbara station on line 4 has its Montrouge entrance on avenue Marx-Dormoy, at the corner of avenue de Verdun and avenue Henri-Ginoux, on the edge of Bagneux. The area still bears the mark of industrial Montrouge, which grew from 1925 onwards: former industrial buildings on avenue Henri-Ginoux and rue Périer are protected. The doors here date from every era: send us a photo of the lock and the locksmith comes with the right part.

  • Avenue Marx-Dormoy
  • Avenue de Verdun
  • Avenue Henri-Ginoux
  • Rue Racine
  • Rue Boileau
  • Rue Périer

The neighbouring towns are on our route too: Châtillon and Bagneux, as well as the 14th arrondissement, just past the porte d’Orléans.

Frequently asked questions about our locksmith in Montrouge

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

Do you cover all of Montrouge?

Yes. The locksmith sets off from the 16th arrondissement of Paris and comes to every address in Montrouge: the town centre and the Beffroi, the Haut-Mesnil, the Ferry – Buffalo area, around Barbara station and avenue Aristide-Briand. We have no shop to call in at: the locksmith comes to your door, day or night.

How much does a door opening cost in Montrouge?

The price depends on the door: €119 incl. VAT for a door slammed shut, €135 for a locked door, €149 for a locked security door, during the day. It goes up by 30% between 8 pm and midnight, and by 50% after midnight. On Saturdays and Sundays, the daytime rate applies. The amount is given to you before the locksmith sets off.

I live in a villa or a passage: can you get in?

Yes. Montrouge has several lanes protected for their character, such as the villa Henriette, the villa Isabelle and the cité Rondelet. If the entrance is closed by a gate, give us the code or ask a neighbour to open it: the locksmith comes right to your door, with his equipment.

I’m a tenant in Montrouge: can I have the cylinder changed?

Yes. In Montrouge, fewer than four households in ten own their home, and changing the cylinder is the simplest solution after moving in: it doesn’t touch the door and costs from €90 incl. VAT. Keep the old cylinder and the invoice: when you move out, you put the old one back or leave the new one with all its keys.

My key spins freely in the lock: does the whole lock need changing?

Rarely. In a building in the centre or in the Haut-Mesnil, it is most often the cylinder that is worn or broken: we replace it on the spot. On a security door, the cylinder depends on the brand; send us a photo of the lock or the key. More details on our key that spins freely page.

Do you copy security keys?

Yes, for the main brands: Fichet, Picard, Bricard, Vachette… A protected key is only copied on presentation of the card of ownership. Orders are placed online, on our key copies page.
