replacing commercial lock on storefront door
Tthis company tried to charge me $200 more than estimate given on phone! I didn't know at the time that the $150 I was charged for parts could be purchased at another retailer for about $20-30 !!!! They guys there even told me how to change the locks(for future reference) very easy once you know how.
Labour costs were a total of $110 - just to show up and spend less than 10 minutes changing the lock.
Do I feel RIPPED OFF ?- sure do! These guys are every bit as bad as tow truck operators.
Go to the hardware store, buy the parts and do it yourself. Let these guys starve!
- Approximate cost of services:
- $305.00
- What could this company do to improve their services?
- Charge a reasonable amount for the service instead of ripping people off.
- Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
- Go to Home Hardware
