Locksmith pricing in Paris has a bad reputation — and sometimes deservedly so. Here is the honest 2026 rate table we actually work from, so you know a fair price before you pick up the phone.
A surcharge is normal after 8pm, on Sundays and public holidays — but it must be announced on the phone before the technician travels, not invented on the invoice. If nobody will give you a number before coming, that's your cue to hang up.
The lock brand and certification, whether the door can be opened non-destructively, the time of day, and your neighbourhood access all move the price. What should never vary is the honesty: the number you're told is the number you pay.
We announce the price before dispatch, carry standard cylinders and strikes in the van so most jobs finish in one visit, and hand you an itemized invoice in English or French for your insurer. No call-out fee if you decide not to proceed.
One call in English — a fixed price — a technician at your door in ~30 minutes.
