Customer Reviews

They Trusted Us

4.9/5 average rating from our English-speaking clients.

★★★★★

"Locked myself out at midnight and don't speak a word of French. They answered in English, gave me a price on the phone, and the technician arrived in 25 minutes. Lifesaver."

Sarah M. American expat — Paris 11th
★★★★★

"After a break-in attempt they secured our door the same evening and installed an armoured door the following week. Clear explanations, clean work, price matched the quote exactly."

James & Priya T. Residents — Paris 16th
★★★★★

"Our office safe wouldn't open before an important meeting. Opened without damage in under an hour, with a proper invoice for our insurance. Highly professional."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you really speak English?
Yes — our phone line, WhatsApp and technicians all communicate in English. We specialise in helping expats, students and visitors in Paris, where English is seldom spoken by most local tradespeople.
How fast can you arrive?
On average 30 minutes in central Paris, and typically under an hour anywhere in Île-de-France, depending on traffic and time of day.
How much does a door opening cost?
A simple slammed door starts at €110 incl. VAT. If the key was turned in the lock, the cylinder may need replacing (from €150). We always confirm the exact price before starting.
Will my insurance cover the intervention?
In many cases yes — French home insurance (assurance habitation) often covers lockouts and break-in repairs. We provide a full itemized invoice in English or French for your claim.
Who pays: tenant or landlord?
In France, day-to-day lock maintenance and lockouts are usually the tenant's responsibility, while wear-and-tear or break-in damage often falls to the landlord or insurance. We can provide the paperwork both sides need.
What is an A2P-certified lock?
A2P is the French security certification for locks and doors, with three levels (1 to 3 stars). Insurers recognise it and may require it — installing an A2P lock can even improve your premium.
Do you work nights, weekends and holidays?
Yes, we operate 24/7 including public holidays. Any night or holiday surcharge is announced upfront in the quote — never after the work.
Can you open my door without damaging it?
We always attempt non-destructive techniques first. In most lockout cases the door and lock are preserved. If drilling is unavoidable, we explain why and quote the replacement before proceeding.
