Where can you get keys cut or a lock changed in Tbilisi and Batumi?
Key cutting, lockouts and lock replacement.
Short answer
Keys in Tbilisi and Batumi are cut at small workshops and kiosks near markets, in malls and at DIY hypermarkets, and a standard key takes a few minutes. If you're locked out, call a locksmith; many work around the clock. When moving into a rented flat you can change the lock, but agree this with the landlord first.
Why
- Intercom fobs and complex keys aren't made everywhere, sometimes only to order.
- A locksmith may ask for proof that you live in the flat before opening it.
- Leave a spare key with friends or your landlord.
Details
Confirm the lockout price by phone before the locksmith arrives; it is higher at night. After a lock change, test all the keys.
