How the job moves forward
- 01
Show us the job
Send one wide photo, one close-up and any model number or product link. We reply with a price, a range or the one missing detail needed to quote.
- 02
Confirm the scope
The estimate states what is included, what parts are expected and what would change the number. Work outside that scope needs your approval first.
- 03
Protect and complete
We protect nearby finishes, use the right fixing or repair method for the building, and keep dust and removed material under control.
- 04
Review before we leave
You see the finished work, operate moving fixtures where relevant and receive photos when access or tenancy keeps you off site.
What it costs
A useful number before the visit
A like-for-like lock swap is often under two hours. New bore locations, damaged doors, misaligned frames or multi-point hardware need an on-site check before a firm price.
Materials and parts are charged at cost. If opening the work reveals a different condition, you see the photo and revised number before it becomes work.

FAQ
Lock Installation questions in Richmond
Can you install the smart lock I bought?
Yes. Send the model and photos of both sides and the door edge so we can confirm thickness, bore pattern and whether an adapter or fresh batteries are needed.
Why does the new lock jam when the door is closed?
The strike and latch are usually out of alignment. We correct the door position first so the lock is not forced to compensate for a sagging door.
How do you schedule Richmond?
Richmond is our closest service area, so same-week scheduling is usually straightforward and urgent jobs often fit the same day.
Are estimates free?
Yes. Photo estimates and on-site estimates are free and carry no obligation. Photos are usually faster.
