A clear estimate starts here.

Know what you are agreeing to, what is included and which details need checking.

The starting point

A price needs
a job description.

A house lockout, a rekey for several doors and a missing programmed car key are different jobs. The location, hardware, vehicle details and amount of work all help define the estimate. Tell us what happened and what you want to achieve.

There is no single published flat price on this website. Ask what the visit, labor and parts include, and whether any cutting, programming or additional fitting is separate. If the final scope requires an inspection, clarify which amount is provisional and what could change it.

Keep the decision in your hands.

Before approving work, make sure you understand the proposed solution. Opening a door and changing which keys operate it may be separate tasks. Repairing a lock and replacing it also have different implications for parts and key handover.

If another issue is discovered, ask for the additional work and revised price to be explained before proceeding. For a rented home or business, involve the person authorized to approve the scope and cost.

For a home or business

Describe the door, whether it opens and closes normally, and which keys are available. Count the entrances involved. Say if the hardware belongs to a managed system or if you have already purchased a replacement product. A photo can help explain the setup, but the actual fit may still need checking.

Explain whether your priority is getting inside, making an old key stop working or improving a troublesome lock. A clear goal helps keep the proposed work focused.

For a vehicle

Provide the make, model, year and parking location. Say whether the keys are inside, all are lost or you have a working key and want a spare. If you bought a fob, share its part information. Compatibility and the required functions affect what can be offered.

Ask how the agreed result will be tested and what verification is needed. Call to confirm support and current availability for the actual vehicle and location.

One useful conversation

Tell us what’s
keeping you out.

Your address, the problem and a few details about the door or vehicle are a good place to start.
