Locksmith in the canton of Fribourg
The canton of Fribourg has seven districts and straddles the language border. The Gruyère, Glâne, Broye and Veveyse are French-speaking, as is most of the Sarine; the Sense district is German-speaking and the Lake district bilingual. Between the Gruyère Pre-Alps, the hills of the Glâne and the shores of Lake Murten and Lake Neuchâtel, the canton combines small historic towns, fast-growing market towns and farming villages.
Wherever you are in the canton, you can reach us 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our technicians are based in the region and usually arrive within 20 to 30 minutes in the towns and villages; for a chalet in the Pre-Alps or an isolated hamlet the journey takes longer, and we give you a realistic arrival time on the phone. Before opening we check your proof of entitlement and tell you the price. Payment in cash, by card, with TWINT or on invoice.
Doors and locks in the canton of Fribourg
The canton of Fribourg combines old town centres with recent construction. The old towns of Murten, Romont, Gruyères and Estavayer-le-Lac have townhouses with solid wooden doors whose locks have often been modernised in stages. Around Bulle and along the A12 motorway many new districts of detached houses and apartment buildings have appeared, with modern flat doors and multi-point locks. In the countryside of the Glâne, Broye and Sense, former farmhouses converted into homes stand next to family houses, while the Pre-Alps have many chalets, in Charmey as well as at Lac-Noir. The technician identifies the lock before quoting the price.

On both banks of the Sarine
The language border runs through the canton and is often associated with the Sarine river. In the city of Fribourg, French and German are heard side by side, and the university teaches in both languages. Around St. Nicholas Cathedral and in the lower town by the Sarine, old houses stand tightly packed. Bulle is the centre of the Gruyère, Murten sits behind its ramparts on its lake, and Estavayer-le-Lac on Lake Neuchâtel belongs to the Fribourg Broye, parts of which are enclosed by the canton of Vaud.
Pre-Alps, lakes and motorways
The A12 links Bern with the Lake Geneva region via Fribourg and Bulle, and the A1 crosses the Lake district and the Broye, so the centres are easy to reach. The Pre-Alps are a different matter. On the Jaun Pass, around Charmey or up to Lac-Noir, snow and ice set the travel time in winter. In summer, leisure traffic around the lakes slows things down, and in autumn the cattle come down from the alps through the villages of the Gruyère.
