Locksmith Paris 14th arrondissement
From Montparnasse to the Cité universitaire, the 14th mixes 1930s brick blocks, small student flats and former artists' studios with unusual doors, especially around Plaisance and Denfert-Rochereau. There are a lot of studios here — and therefore a lot of keys left on the wrong side of the door.

What the local building stock actually changes
The 14th mixes 1930s brick blocks, small flats around the Cité universitaire, and former artists' studios towards Plaisance and Denfert. The last of those bring a real constraint: metal doors, wide frames, non-standard backsets that won't take a catalogue lock.
On that kind of door the tradesperson measures before ordering. It's slower than fitting on the spot, but it's the only way to avoid ill-fitting hardware that drifts out of adjustment within months.

Frequently asked questions
Will my workshop door take a security lock?
Usually yes, but rarely a standard one. The backset, leaf thickness and hand of the door decide the hardware. The tradesperson measures on site and then orders the right part — which avoids a bodged fit that drifts out of adjustment quickly.
Keys lost on a Sunday — do I wait until Monday?
No, we work weekends as well as weekdays. The weekend surcharge is stated on the phone before travel, at the same time as the price of the opening.
Do you work on studio and workshop doors?
Yes. The 14th's former workshops often have metal doors or wide frames that won't take a standard lock. The tradesperson measures the backset and thickness on site before ordering suitable hardware.
Keys lost on a Sunday — do I have to wait until Monday?
No, we work weekends as well as weekdays. The weekend surcharge is stated on the phone before anyone travels, along with the price of the opening.
