Questions about this service
Will a lock from any brand fit my door?
Most will, if the lock suits your door thickness. The carpenter checks this before cutting and tells you if the lock is the wrong size.
Do you bring the lock?
No. You buy the lock, or the carpenter can pick one up locally at actual cost if you approve it first.
What happens to the old lock?
It is handed back to you. Keep it as a spare or dispose of it as you prefer.
