Emergency locksmith call-out and door opening
We intervene in Morges as soon as a door refuses to open: a door slammed shut with the keys inside, a door locked after lost keys, a jammed lock or a key broken in the lock. Emergency locksmith requests are handled 24/7, in the old town as well as in residential neighbourhoods and business areas. The first objective remains the same: opening the door without needlessly damaging the frame or the lock.
For a slammed door, a non-destructive opening is usually enough: the latch bolt is pushed back without touching the cylinder. When the door is locked, the locksmith identifies the type of barrel and lock before choosing the method; destructive opening by drilling the cylinder is only used as a last resort, and always announced beforehand. A broken key is extracted without dismantling as long as the plug is not damaged.
The call-out does not stop at opening the door. A stuck lock, a misaligned strike plate or a door that rubs is dealt with on site: strike plate adjustment, door realignment, repair of the mechanism or of the multipoint lock. After a break-in, temporary securing makes it possible to close the home or shop the same evening, pending the lasting repair of the forced door.

Lock and cylinder replacement
In Morges, we replace the lock on an entrance door when it no longer provides reliable security: lost or stolen keys, a change of tenant, the purchase of a property, a forced lock or a worn mechanism. In many cases, a cylinder replacement is enough and costs less than a new lock; complete replacement becomes necessary when the lock case itself is damaged.
Every door requires a compatible part. The locksmith records the cylinder profile (European or Swiss profile), its length, the centre distance, the faceplate and the type of lock: mortice or surface-mounted, single-point or multipoint with 3 or 5 points. These measurements prevent a new lock from forcing against the strike plate, or an overly long cylinder from protruding from the door and offering a grip for forced extraction.
To strengthen security, fitting a high-security lock or an anti-snap, anti-drill and anti-pick cylinder is a useful addition to the replacement, together with a security escutcheon that protects the cylinder head. In an apartment building or a company, the lock replacement can be part of a master key system: each key opens only the intended accesses, and the grand master key remains reserved for the property management or the executive team.

Supply and installation of armoured or secure doors
We support door projects in Morges, from an apartment entrance door to the front door of a villa, including cellar doors, service doors and shop entrances. The supply and installation of a door includes choosing the model (wooden door, metal door, fire door or armoured door) and adapting it to the existing opening, with a made-to-measure door when the dimensions are not standard.
The strength of a door depends as much on its frame as on the leaf. Installing an armoured door set brings together the leaf, a metal frame, reinforced hinges and a multipoint lock whose anchoring points lock the door along its entire height. Careful adjustment during installation ensures smooth closing, without rubbing on the threshold or excessive strain on the strike plate and cylinder.
When the existing door is sound, door reinforcement offers an alternative to replacement: a reinforcing steel plate on the leaf, anti-pry angles against crowbar attempts, anti-lift hinges and a reinforced strike plate. For a jointly owned building or offices, adding a door closer or a door chain completes the securing of the building door or of the access open to the public.

Sale and installation of safes and strong cabinets
For an installation in Morges, choosing a safe starts with what it must protect: jewellery, cash, original documents, computer media or firearms. We offer safes for houses and apartments as well as for shops and offices, from small safes built into a wall to large freestanding safes, as well as strong cabinets for larger volumes.
The resistance of a safe depends on how it is fixed. A floor model is anchored into the concrete slab, a wall safe is sealed into load-bearing masonry: without this sealing, even a certified safe can be carried away in a few minutes. The choice of locking system (key-operated, mechanical, electronic or biometric) takes into account the number of users and how often it is opened every day.
Sensitive documents and media often call for a fire-resistant safe or a fire-resistant strong cabinet, which protects the contents in the event of a fire. A gun cabinet or a secure key cabinet meets the needs of hunters, shooters and companies that manage many keys. Installation is followed by commissioning, code changes and, if needed, the opening of a locked safe.
