Lost keys, stolen keys, a door double-locked by mistake: a key-locked door pits its deadbolts against any simple opening. Our locksmiths open locked doors day and night across the Paris region, with one constant priority: preserve your door and replace only what is strictly necessary.
How we open a locked door
Non-destructive methods first: picking works on a large share of standard cylinders and leaves the lock intact. When a cylinder is too secure to pick in reasonable time, we use controlled drilling of the cylinder only — a clean, localised operation that sacrifices a part worth tens of euros, never the whole lock or the door. The chosen method and its cost are explained before you sign.

Choosing the new cylinder
Since replacement is due, choose well: a standard cylinder for low-risk doors; for a front door, a high-security model — anti-drill, anti-pick, anti-snap, with a property card so no key can be copied without your consent. Keyed-alike options let one key open house, garage and gate; emergency-function cylinders keep working even with a key left inside. Every cylinder we fit is tested with you, all keys in hand, before we leave.
FAQ
Can you open without replacing the cylinder? Yes, when picking succeeds — common on standard cylinders. Replacement is only needed after drilling, or when keys are lost or stolen.
I found my keys after the replacement — wasted money? No: you cannot know where those keys spent the interval. A new cylinder is certainty.
