Locksmith Paris 11th arrondissement

What the local building stock actually changes
The 11th is one of the most densely populated districts in Europe, with a rental stock that turns over fast. Changing the cylinder when moving in is the most common request here, ahead even of door opening — and it's the right instinct: you don't know how many copies are circulating.
Nightlife around Oberkampf and Bastille shifts the calls: a significant share of our work in the 11th happens between midnight and six, weekends included.

How a call-out works
- 1
You call or message
Describe the door and the situation. On the phone, or in writing on WhatsApp, you get the price of the job and a realistic arrival time for your street — not an unverifiable promise.

The tradesperson comes and assesses
On site they check the lock type and the state of the door, confirm the least destructive method available, and have the amount agreed before touching anything.
- 3
Work, invoice and guarantee
The job is done, tested in front of you, and billed at the agreed amount. The invoice itemises hardware and labour — the document your insurer or landlord will ask for.

What we do in the area
Frequently asked questions
What does a cylinder change on moving in cost?
It's the most requested job here and one of the cheapest: only the barrel is replaced, not the whole lock. The price is in our published grid and is confirmed on the phone before anyone travels.
Is there a night surcharge in the 11th?
Yes, the same as everywhere: the night, weekend and public-holiday surcharge is published in our price list. It's repeated on the phone before the tradesperson leaves, along with the total.
Should I change the lock when moving into the 11th?
It's recommended: the 11th has high tenant turnover, and changing the lock guarantees no old key set still gives access.
Do you work nights around Oberkampf?
Yes, we cover the whole 11th arrondissement 24/7, including weekend nights around Oberkampf.
