Emergency situations I handle in Paris

Most emergencies fall into one of these cases, and all of them are handled the same night if needed.

Locked out of your apartment

Lost keys, slammed door, broken lock — I open it fast, prioritizing non-destructive entry techniques whenever the lock allows it.

Broken or jammed lock

Lock won't turn? Key stuck halfway? I repair or replace the mechanism on the spot.

Break-in damage repair

After a burglary I secure the door immediately with an emergency lock replacement, then advise on reinforcement.

Lost keys, new locks needed

If your keys are gone for good, changing the cylinder the same day is the only way to be safe again.

Snapped key in the lock

Broken key extraction in Paris: I remove the fragment and restore full function of the lock.

Faulty digital or smart lock

Electronic lock or code pad failure — I diagnose it and either repair or replace the unit.

Pricing information

All prices are shown including VAT. Fixed prices include travel and labour.

“From” prices depend on the configuration, model or difficulty: a lock guard or armoured handle on a key-locked door, the cylinder model chosen, the number of locking points (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 points…), and the configuration and fittings chosen for door reinforcement and door units.

Opening a key-locked door may require drilling the lock. In that case the cylinder must then be replaced, charged according to the cylinder model chosen.

Free quote before intervention: simply send us a photo of your lock and we will give you an estimate suited to your situation.

Weekends and public holidays: On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, the minimum rate applied is the Evening 6pm–10pm column; if the intervention takes place during the Night 10pm–8am period, the Night rate applies.
