Need a new lock after moving in, lost or stolen keys, or a cylinder that turns without catching? We replace locks of every type: euro cylinders with protected keys, double-bit locks for armoured doors, security escutcheons and defenders. The technician recommends the right level of protection and fits certified parts with coded keys that cannot be copied without a card.
When to call us
- Lost or stolen keys: the lock should be changed for safety
- Moved into a new home: you do not know who has copies of the keys
- A key that turns without catching or is hard to insert
- Switching from a double-bit lock to a euro cylinder on the armoured door
- Lock damaged by an attempted break-in
Lock replacement in Firenze: where we operate
In Florence we work every day, from the heart of the historic centre out to the residential districts and the surrounding towns. The city has a very mixed building stock — period palazzi in Oltrarno and the Unesco centre, 1960s-70s apartment blocks in Novoli, Rifredi and Gavinana, houses up towards the hills — and each setting has its own typical issues: dated systems in the historic buildings, faults on shared central systems in the large blocks, access and limited-traffic zones to consider in the centre. We take all this into account when we route your request to the nearest, best-suited technician.
Districts and areas of Firenze: Centro storico · Oltrarno · San Frediano · Santo Spirito · Le Cure · Campo di Marte · Coverciano · Rifredi · Novoli · Statuto · Gavinana · Isolotto · Legnaia · Bellariva · Firenze Sud.
And in the surrounding towns: Scandicci · Sesto Fiorentino · Campi Bisenzio · Bagno a Ripoli · Fiesole · Impruneta · Calenzano · Signa · Lastra a Signa · Pontassieve and other nearby areas.

FAQ — Lock replacement in Firenze
How much does it cost to change a home lock?
Replacing just the euro cylinder starts from modest amounts; a complete lock for an armoured door costs more, depending on the security level. The quote is confirmed before we start.
Is it worth switching from a double-bit lock to a euro cylinder?
Yes in most cases: a modern euro cylinder is more resistant to bumping and picking, and if you lose your keys you only replace the cylinder, not the whole lock.
How long does the replacement take?
A cylinder change usually takes 30-60 minutes; converting a double-bit lock on an armoured door takes about 1-2 hours.
Do you also come outside the centre of Florence?
Yes. As well as the historic centre we cover every district — from Novoli and Rifredi to Gavinana, Isolotto and Campo di Marte — and the towns of the metropolitan area such as Scandicci, Sesto Fiorentino, Campi Bisenzio and Bagno a Ripoli. Give the exact address in your request and we route it to the nearest technician.
Do call-outs in the centre take the limited-traffic zone (ZTL) into account?
Yes. For call-outs in the limited-traffic zone the technician arranges access and timing accordingly; that is why it helps to give the exact street and house number when you leave your request.
