rekey a lock/change a lock

I talked to a nice woman at the company and got a quote for a service call and the cost of rekeying a lock. Amazingly,within two hours, the technician was at my door. Unfortunately, when the technician removed the pieces, he said that it was not a type of lock that could be rekeyed. He offered me two products instead to replace the lock: one that would cost $270 and one that would cost $150. I went with the cheaper of the two expensive choices and it took the technician about two minutes to attach it to the door. However, because he could see that I, as a retiree, was concerned about the cost, as he wrote up the bill, he reduced the fee. I called the company back to inquire about the pricing. The woman told me that the technician decides what is necessary and what to charge based on the situation. I was pleasantly surprised later to receive a call from the owner, Ronnie, who wanted to answer any other questions that I might have and to ensure that I was satisfied with my experience with his company.

Approximate cost of services:
$157.00

rekey a lock/change a lock

I talked to a nice woman at the company and got a quote for the service call and the cost of rekeying the lock. Unfortunately, when the technician arrived and removed the pieces, he said that it was not a type of lock that could be rekeyed. He offered me two products instead to replace the lock: one that would cost $270 and one that would cost $150. Both prices seemed awfully steep to me and, because I had thought it could be rekeyed, I had not researched the price of the hardware. I went with the cheaper of the two expensive choices and it took the technician about two minutes to attach it to the door. I did ask the technician if he had a price list from his company that he could show me but he said that he didn't. He did say that he could put everything back the way that he found it but I wasn't sure if he would or not. However, because he could see that I was not happy with the cost, as the technician wrote up the bill, he dropped the price to $130 for the lock. With the service charge and tax, my total was $179.67. After the technician left, I could not find a price for a dorex single cylinder deadlock on the internet but items that looked comparable were in the $60 range. I hate it when a service call ends with me feeling that I have been taken advantage of. Despite the cost, I must say that the company does provide quick service and that only two hours elapsed between my phone call and the arrival of the technician.
