Lock replacement in Paris

A worn lock, a key that turns without catching, a seized cylinder, or the need to secure a home after lost keys or a move.

The work

The tradesperson assesses the existing lock, proposes a replacement suited to the door (cylinder alone or the complete lock) and fits the new hardware, checking it works properly before leaving.

What's included

  • Assessment of the lock and the door
  • Hardware recommendation, from standard to high-security
  • Full fitting and adjustment
  • Key sets handed over

When to call us

  • You're moving in: you don't know how many key sets are still out there.
  • A key set has been lost or stolen, especially if it carried an address.
  • The key catches, the cylinder is seizing, or the lock has already been forced in an attempt.

Price

€140 incl. VAT for the cylinder alone, €220 incl. VAT for a complete lock and €300 incl. VAT for a high-security lock. Exact price confirmed by phone before travel, and agreed on site before any work begins.

How a call-out works

  1. 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. 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. 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.

Guarantee

This work is covered by our guarantee on installations. Exact terms and duration are given with your written quote. We are qualified and insured for this service.

Frequently asked questions

Cylinder or complete lock — what's the difference?

The cylinder (barrel) is the part the key turns in; it can be replaced on its own if the rest of the mechanism is sound. A complete lock includes the case and the bolt, and is needed if the mechanism itself is damaged.

Can my lock be changed without changing the model?

Yes. In most cases a compatible cylinder can be fitted without altering the existing lock, which keeps both the cost and the time on site down.

When should I change the lock after moving in?

Ideally before you move in, or as soon as possible afterwards, so you can be certain that no old key sets still in circulation give access to the property.
