THE WORK, EXPLAINED
Start with the condition.
Understand the scope.
A stuck cylinder, failed connecting part and bolt or alignment problem can require different work. Describe whether the key enters, turns or moves the bolt. Ask which condition was found and whether cleaning, service, alignment work or replacement is appropriate for that hardware, including any limits to the assessment.
What may be involved
- penetrating lubricant
- graphite or PTFE lubricant
- cylinder service kit
- replacement tailpiece
- replacement cylinder if seized solid
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.
