Locksmith in the neighbourhoods of Villeneuve-la-Garenne

Created in 1929 when it split from Gennevilliers, Villeneuve-la-Garenne covers 320 hectares, between Gennevilliers and the Seine, opposite L’Île-Saint-Denis. The town has six neighbourhood committees, from the Centre-ville to Ponant–Chanteraines.

The centre and the quays, around avenue de Verdun

The town hall, inaugurated in 1965 at 28 avenue de Verdun, and the Mairie stop on the T1 tram mark the centre; close by, the Saint-Joseph church, in brick and millstone grit, dates from 1932. At the end of the avenue, the pont de l’Île-Saint-Denis has since 1903 replaced the suspension bridge painted by Sisley in 1872. Towards quai d’Asnières, some houses remain, on rue Homère-Robert for example: a door slammed shut there is usually opened without damage, just as in an apartment.

  • Avenue de Verdun
  • Rue Dupont-du-Chambon
  • Rue Henri-Barbusse
  • Boulevard Gallieni
  • Quai d’Asnières
  • Rue Pierre-Brossolette
  • Rue Homère-Robert
  • Rue Pointet

La Caravelle, a large housing estate being regenerated

La Caravelle has around 1,850 homes for 6,000 residents, in blocks long presented, wrongly, as the largest slab block in Europe. Already renovated by the architect Roland Castro, the estate is the subject of a new urban regeneration project, with demolitions and renovations. If your entrance is being worked on, the access may have changed: tell us your square or allée when you call.

  • Allée Louis-Jouvet
  • Allée Saint-Exupéry
  • Square Gérard-Philipe
  • Square Jean-Giraudoux
  • Square Roger-Martin-du-Gard
  • Rue Chaillon

Villerenne, between the Seine and the parc des Chanteraines

On seven hectares of derelict land, where shipyards once stood, the Villerenne neighbourhood has taken in around 3,000 residents, in a mix of social housing and owner-occupied residences. To the west, the parc des Chanteraines borders it, with its educational farm and its little train. The first families arrived in 1997: an original cylinder that catches is often simply worn, and can be replaced without changing the lock.

  • Avenue du Ponant
  • Rue Madame-de-Nanteuil
  • Mail Roger-Prévot
  • Allée Berthe-Morisot
  • Quai Alfred-Sisley

We also work in neighbouring Gennevilliers, as well as in Asnières-sur-Seine and Colombes.

Reinforcing or replacing your door in Villeneuve-la-Garenne

Measurements are taken at your home and the quote is free. To compare the options, see door reinforcement and our security doors.

Depending on your door

  • Social housing: the door belongs to the landlord; get their agreement before any reinforcement, and keep the quote for your records.
  • Apartment front door in a large block: a fire-rated door may be required depending on the building; check with the landlord or the building manager before choosing.
  • House near the quays: an A2P-certified security door, with a multipoint lock, replaces an old or damaged front door.

Frequently asked questions about our locksmith in Villeneuve-la-Garenne

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

Do you cover all of Villeneuve-la-Garenne?

Yes, in all six neighbourhoods: Centre-ville, Caravelle–Chaillon, Jean-Moulin–Sisley, Haut et Fond-de-la-Noue, Rive de Seine–Gallieni and Ponant–Chanteraines. From the banks of the Seine to the parc des Chanteraines, a locksmith comes to you, day or night. He sets off from the 16th arrondissement, and you know the price before he leaves.

How much does a door opening cost in Villeneuve-la-Garenne?

Door slammed shut: €119 incl. VAT during the day. Locked door: €135 for a standard door, €149 for a security door. Between 8 pm and midnight, the rate goes up by 30%; after midnight, by 50%. At weekends, you pay the daytime rate. The price is given to you before we set off, never afterwards.

I live in a large block: what should I mention when I call?

The name of the building or the square, the entrance, the floor, and the code or the name on the intercom. If there is a caretaker, let them know if you can. If you are locked out, wait at the foot of the building and keep your phone within reach: the locksmith may call you when he arrives.

My building is going to be renovated: should I wait to change my lock?

If you have lost your keys or the lock is damaged, don’t wait: a new cylinder is fitted in a single visit. For door reinforcement or a security door, first ask the landlord about the works programme, then ask us for a security door quote.

Can you open or change the lock on a cellar or a bike store?

Yes. We open and change the locks on cellars, lock-up garages and bike stores, in older blocks and recent residences alike. For a shared room, the agreement of the landlord or the building manager is needed before changing the lock. For a cellar that has been forced several times, a reinforced cellar door solves the problem more permanently.

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.
