Locksmith in the neighbourhoods of Vanves

Vanves sits on a plateau cut by the small valley of the former ru de Vanves stream, now covered over, between Issy-les-Moulineaux, Clamart, Malakoff and the boulevard périphérique. The town distinguishes three neighbourhoods: the Plateau, the Centre Saint-Rémy and the Hauts-de-Vanves.

Centre Saint-Rémy, the old village centre at the bottom of the valley

At the bottom of the valley, the old village centre keeps its low houses around the church of Saint-Rémy, in Flamboyant Gothic style, consecrated in 1449 and listed as a historic monument, on rue de la République. Rue Vieille-Forge, rue Gaudray and rue Falret trace its old street plan; the town hall, completed in 1898, looks onto rue Mary-Besseyre. The 1920s and 1930s buildings often have neither a caretaker nor a lift: give us the floor and the entry code. On an old door, we repair the original lock whenever possible before talking about replacement.

  • Place de la République
  • Rue Vieille-Forge
  • Rue Gaudray
  • Rue Falret
  • Rue Mary-Besseyre
  • Rue Antoine-Fratacci
  • Rue Louis-Blanc

The Plateau, large apartment blocks and offices on rue Jean-Bleuzen

To the east, towards Malakoff and the porte Brancion, the Plateau is the most recent and most densely built part of Vanves: large apartment blocks, pedestrian walkways, private and social housing side by side, around the carrefour Albert-Legris and the church of Saint-François. On rue Jean-Bleuzen, near Malakoff - Plateau de Vanves metro station, France 3, Audiens and Hachette Livre have set up their offices. In these estates, tell us the building, the floor and how to get in: fob, intercom or caretaker. For an office, we also work on service doors and master-keyed cylinders.

  • Rue Jean-Bleuzen
  • Rue Jules-Michelet
  • Rue Auguste-Comte
  • Rue Jean-Jaurès
  • Rue Marceau
  • Rue Danton

The Hauts-de-Vanves, from the parc Frédéric-Pic to Clamart station

To the south-west, towards Clamart, the Hauts-de-Vanves are the quietest and least dense part of the town. The parc Frédéric-Pic, a former nursing home turned municipal park, opens onto place du Président-Kennedy and rue Larmeroux, where the Roger-Aveneau swimming pool opened in 1971; the André-Roche sports park extends it. Houses and small residences share the sloping streets that climb towards Clamart station. After the keys to a house are lost, we change the cylinders of every door the set of keys opened, in a single visit.

  • Rue Jean-Baptiste-Potin
  • Avenue du Parc
  • Rue du Clos-Montholon
  • Avenue du Général-de-Gaulle
  • Rue de Châtillon
  • Rue Aristide-Briand

Around the lycée Michelet, as far as Corentin-Celton metro station

To the north-west, the lycée Michelet occupies the château built by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, completed in 1704 and bought by the prince de Condé in 1717, in the middle of a 17-hectare park. Boulevard du Lycée, rue Jullien and avenue Victor-Hugo, where Marguerite Duras lived at number 16, border it; rue d’Issy heads towards Corentin-Celton metro station, on the boundary with Issy-les-Moulineaux. Villa du Lycée and small quiet streets: give us the exact address and how to get in. For a lost or broken cylinder, replacement starts at €90 incl. VAT.

We also work in Malakoff and Issy-les-Moulineaux, and on the Paris side in the 15th arrondissement.

Frequently asked questions about our locksmith in Vanves

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

07 67 96 22 46All our prices

Do you come to every neighbourhood in Vanves?

Yes: on the Plateau, on the Malakoff and porte Brancion side, in the Centre Saint-Rémy, around the church and the town hall, in the Hauts-de-Vanves, from the parc Frédéric-Pic to Clamart station, and around the lycée Michelet as far as Corentin-Celton. The locksmith sets off from the 16th arrondissement of Paris, with no shop to call in at: he comes straight to your home.

How much does a door opening cost in Vanves?

In the daytime, expect to pay €119 incl. VAT for a door slammed shut, €135 for a locked door and €149 for a locked security door. From 8 pm to midnight, the rate is increased by 30%; after midnight, by 50%. Weekends stay at the daytime rate, and the price is given to you before we set off.

My building on the Plateau has a fob and several staircases: how do I guide you?

Give us the building number, the staircase, the floor and the way in: fob, intercom or caretaker. If you are outside, ask a neighbour to open the entrance hall for us, or let the caretaker know. Everything is noted down before the locksmith sets off, so that he arrives straight at your door.

A 1930s flat with an old lock: replace it or reinforce the door?

Start with the lock: an A2P-certified multipoint model and a cylinder protected against drilling and picking are often enough on a sound door. If the wood has warped or the door closes badly, reinforcement, which strengthens both the leaf and the frame, is more effective. Changing the cylinder alone costs from €90 incl. VAT; for reinforcement, a photo lets us give you a price.

I live right by the boundary with Issy or Paris: does that change anything?

No. Whether you are on rue d’Issy, near Corentin-Celton metro station, or over by the porte Brancion and the tram, the rate is the same as in the centre of Vanves. Simply give your town and the postcode 92170 with the address, to avoid any confusion with a street of the same name in Issy-les-Moulineaux or Malakoff.

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.
