questions.
Agree the work and quote before arranging a visit.
What should the quote include?
Ask about attendance, assessment, labour, parts and any travel charge. Confirm the selected products and keys supplied, and ask how additional work will be approved.
What if more work is needed?
Discuss the cause, suitable options and any extra parts or labour. Agree the revised scope and price before additional work starts.
Does a business job cost the same?
The number of doors, existing hardware, access restrictions and appointment requirements may differ. Describe the premises so the scope can be discussed.
Can repair cost less than replacement?
That depends on the fault, lock condition and available parts. Assessment helps establish which options are appropriate; discuss the price of those options before deciding.
