What the local building stock actually changes
The 20th is hilly and mixed: older fabric in Belleville and Ménilmontant, newer blocks towards Porte de Bagnolet, houses and dead ends around Charonne and Saint-Fargeau. The locks here span the full range, from old lever locks to recent multi-point sets.
The area's dead ends and private roads are a practical quirk: the exact address and door code save more time than any route optimisation.

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.
- 2
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 doesn't change, whatever the area
On site in under 30 minutes, depending on the area
Someone sets off the moment you call — day or night, weekends and public holidays included.
The amount is settled on the phone
You know what you'll pay before anyone travels, and that is the figure you settle once the job is done.
A qualified, insured tradesperson
You speak to the person handling your job, from the first call through to the invoice.
Everything is in writing before we start
A detailed quote before work, whatever the amount, under the French regulations of 24/01/2017.
Guarantee on our installations

What we do in the area
Frequently asked questions
Do you cover the dead ends and private roads of the 20th?
Yes. Give us the exact address and the door code when you call: in this area that makes more difference to the real arrival time than the distance does.
Can my old lever lock be kept?
Often yes, if the mechanism is sound: it can stay, with a security deadbolt added. If it's worn or the door too thin, moving to a European cylinder is safer and cheaper over time. You get both options costed.
Do you cover the area near Père Lachaise?
Yes, we cover the whole 20th arrondissement, including the streets around Père Lachaise cemetery.
Are Belleville and Ménilmontant covered?
Yes, the whole 20th is covered, from Belleville to Ménilmontant and Porte de Bagnolet.
