Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price, and it costs you nothing.

  • 01
    Security licence

    The licence number, verifiable with your state regulator.

  • 02
    Callout fee

    On its own line, never inside a single lump sum.

  • 03
    Lock brand and model

    The exact lock named, not just 'deadbolt'.

  • 04
    Entry method

    Pick versus drill; drilling costs more and destroys the lock.

  • 05
    Workmanship warranty

    A warranty period, 12 months is the standard minimum.

Cheapest isn't always the best. Check these before you hire anybody.
