FAQ – Your Questions About Lock Replacement
How much does it cost to replace a lock in Paris or Nice?
The price of a lock replacement depends on several factors: the type of lock, the brand of cylinder chosen, the time of day, and the complexity of the job. As a general rule,
you can expect to pay between £70 and £220 for a standard cylinder change, including installation and labour. For multi-point locks or high-security models, the price may be higher. We always provide you with a clear quote before carrying out any work.
How long does a job take?
In most cases, a lock replacement or lock repair takes between 20 and 45 minutes. For multi-point locks or more complex configurations, it can sometimes take up to an hour. Our goal is always to work quickly and efficiently, without cutting corners.
Can I get multiple keys with my new lock?
Yes, absolutely. When replacing the lock, you can request as many keys as you wish. Some cylinders also allow copies to be made at a locksmith or at a hardware store, while others are “secured” with an ownership card that prevents unauthorized reproductions.
Is lock replacement covered by my insurance?
In some cases, yes. If the lock replacement follows a break-in attempt, your home insurance may cover all or part of the costs. We provide you with a detailed invoice that you can forward to your insurer. Check with your insurance company to find out the conditions of your policy.
What is the difference between an approved locksmith and a non-approved locksmith?
An approved or certified locksmith adheres to a quality and pricing transparency charter. They are trained, insured, and use equipment that complies with current standards. Be wary of craftspeople who refuse to give you a quote before intervening or who charge abnormally low rates to attract customers and then bill massively on-site.
Do you intervene at night and on weekends?
Yes. We provide a lock repair service available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, in both Paris and Nice. An emergency does not give advance notice, and we know this perfectly well.
