Locksmith Onex: 24/7 emergency
The cité d'Onex accounts for most of our calls: in the apartment blocks of the avenue des Grandes-Communes or the Gros-Chêne, a slammed door closes on a cylinder keyed to the building's master system. Our left-bank team arrives in 25 minutes on average and opens without touching that cylinder 9 times out of 10.
Onex-Village and the villa streets on the Rhône side call for a different approach: multipoint locks, individual front doors, sometimes old deadbolts. Our salaried locksmiths carry both tool sets in the vehicle.
What we see most often in Onex
Onex's apartment buildings from the 1960s and 70s have cylinders that have lived a long life: keys that start to catch, then one morning a key snaps inside the lock. We extract the broken piece and, if the cylinder is at the end of its life, replace it in the same visit — the price for both is quoted over the phone before the locksmith sets out, and it does not change on site. When an emergency surcharge applies at night or on a Sunday, it is already part of that amount: nothing is added afterwards.
After a break-in — a forced cellar, a damaged apartment door — we secure the premises immediately and can invoice your household insurance directly, with the photo report that goes with the claim.
