Cylinder replacement in Geneva, day and night
The cylinder — the barrel your key turns in — is the part that decides who gets into your home. Misplaced keys, a barrel that spins without engaging, a key that keeps getting stuck: we replace it on site in about thirty minutes, without touching the rest of the lock.
Call-outs 24/7 across the canton, price announced on the phone and confirmed before anything is taken apart.
When the cylinder needs replacing
Lost or stolen keys. A new cylinder makes every existing copy useless. It's the fastest and cheapest way to take back control of your access.
Moving in. Previous occupants, tradespeople, helpful neighbours: there's no way to know how many copies are out there. A new barrel resets the counter to zero.
Key broken in the barrel. We extract the fragment; if the internal mechanism is marked, the cylinder is replaced straight away, in a single visit.
A worn-out barrel. A key that catches, needs forcing or comes out with difficulty is a jam waiting to happen. Better to replace it now than to call for a door opening at midnight.
How we work
On the phone, describe the situation or send a photo of the cylinder by WhatsApp: you get a firm price, not an elastic range.
The locksmith first checks that the cylinder really is the problem. If it comes from the mechanism, they honestly steer you towards a repair or a lock replacement.
Removal, fitting of a new cylinder to the right size, test with every new key in front of you. All without damage to the door or the lock.
