Who comes to your door

In an emergency, the most expensive thing is the wrong locksmith

A door forced open needlessly, an inflated bill, sloppy work: choosing the wrong locksmith in a panic always costs more than the job itself. With us, the person who comes out is a craftsman locksmith from a family business active for over 15 years in French-speaking Switzerland, not an anonymous subcontractor sent by a platform.

That is what guarantees careful work, an honest price approved before the job starts, and a single point of contact who stands behind their work, today and in ten years’ time.

When should you call an emergency locksmith?

Locked out

A gust of wind and you are stuck on the landing. We get you back in without damaging the door.

Door locked shut

The key refuses to turn or the bolt resists: we identify what is blocking before acting.

Broken key

We extract the fragment lodged in the cylinder and check that the mechanism has not been damaged.

Jammed lock

A sticking cylinder, a stuck bolt, a worn mechanism: we free it or replace it on the spot.

Lost or stolen key

We open the door, then replace the cylinder straight away: no one else will get in with your old keys.

Attempted break-in

We restore the locking system and fix the weak point the intruder tried to exploit.

How does the call-out work?

01

First contact

Call or WhatsApp: describe the situation, send a photo if possible, and we set off right away.

02

Quote approved before work starts

The locksmith examines the door and tells you the price: nothing starts without your approval.

03

The job

Work carried out cleanly, operation tested in front of you.

04

Peace of mind

You close a secure door behind you, with an invoice matching the approved quote. You can relax.

Repair or replace?

Our interest is not in selling you a new lock every time something fails. When the mechanism can be restored to last, we opt for lock repair; when it is worn out or has become too vulnerable, we explain why and fit a certified model as part of a lock replacement.

What affects the price

A door that has simply slammed shut is quicker to open, so costs less, than a door that is double-locked.
The type of lock changes everything: a standard door opening is nothing like a multi-point lock or a security door.
Any hardware (cylinder, lock, fittings) is priced separately, line by line, on the quote.
At night, on weekends or public holidays, the rate is announced upfront: no surcharge discovered after the fact.
In every case: you approve the quote before the locksmith starts.
