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

The licence number, verifiable with your state regulator.
- 02Callout fee
On its own line, never inside a single lump sum.
- 03Lock brand and model
The exact lock named, not just 'deadbolt'.
