Lock repair: repair when it is reliable, replace when it is necessary

A lock that seizes, a key that forces, a bolt that rubs: many faults can be repaired without replacing everything. Our locksmiths start with an honest diagnosis, then restore your lock when its reliability and your security allow it.

Who repairs your lock

An honest craftsman repairs first, and replaces only if necessary

Stop-Cambriolages is a family business of craftsman locksmiths, founded in 2011 in Lausanne. For over 15 years we have been repairing locks across French-speaking Switzerland: the person who comes to your home is one of our own craftsmen, never an anonymous subcontractor.

Our speciality, burglary protection, makes the difference: when the lock can be restored to last, we repair it instead of selling you something new; when it really is at the end of its life, we explain why, with evidence, at a price approved before work starts.

The faults we repair

Seized lock

The key turns with difficulty or sticks: cleaning, lubrication and adjustment of the mechanism.

Bolt that rubs

The door closes badly or needs forcing: adjustment of the strike plate and the alignment.

Misadjusted multi-point lock

The locking points no longer engage properly: retensioning and a complete adjustment.

Broken handle or lever

Replacement of the fittings without touching the rest of the lock.

Broken key

Extraction of the stuck fragment and a check of the cylinder after the incident.

After light forcing

Restoration after an attempted break-in, when the structure is still sound.

Meticulous repair of a lock mechanism

Our philosophy: repair first

Replacing costs more than repairing: we only suggest it when it is justified. Every job starts with a precise diagnosis of the mechanism, the strike plate and the cylinder, with a price approved by you before work starts. If the repair guarantees a reliable, secure closure, we repair. Full stop.

When repair is no longer enough

A mechanism too worn, an obsolete or insufficiently secure lock, major break-in damage: we then point you towards a lock replacement or a simple cylinder replacement, and, if your door deserves it, door protection that safeguards it for the long term.
