- Price confirmed before we start
- You get a figure on the phone and it is confirmed at the door. If the job differs from the description, we stop and re-quote.
- Insurance-ready paperwork
- Itemised invoices and hardware details in writing, worded for insurers and landlords after a break-in or lost-key claim.
- Australian Standard hardware
