THE WORK, EXPLAINED
Start with the condition.
Understand the scope.
Identify the storefront or office hardware, frame type and signs of wear or forced damage. Ask whether the issue involves the lock, strike, door alignment or related components. Review the proposed replacement specification, compatibility with the key system, any additional door work and the checks included in the quote.
What may be involved
- narrow-stile or mortise lock
- hookbolt or deadlatch
- commercial cylinder
- keeper and strike
Ask the provider to distinguish existing parts to inspect, proposed replacements, and tools, materials or reports included in the service. Confirm the work and exclusions after assessment; this list does not mean that every item will be supplied or replaced.
