Can some one suggest me a good and affordable locksmith? Also does the locksmith give the lock or do I have to buy those on my own. Please help. hope its not too late. my dad used to be a carpenter. sm things u cn change for your self 1. cos tt day, when i gt my digital door lock installed, he also showed me how he change d gate lock. its really simple if u hv the tools. if nt, there is a cheaper alternative. if u r redo-ing any of ur doors. ask the carpenter to help u change them. he usually will ask for a smaller sum compared to locksmiths. eg: locksmiths: - $20 transport - $20 - 80 labor per lock - $$$ mark up for locks sold to u. carpenter - waived transport, since he's already there - $5 - 40 labor per lock - $$ lesser mark up. or if u wanna DIY u need to take gd measurements & bring ard ur old lock to look for replacement. i when to this industrial bldg in Bedok, brought d old locks & they tot me to diy. i got the locks @ distributor price & save $$ on labor. PM me if u need help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mae29 2 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) Just to share here what the TS quoted: May be can consider the "single-key' type for the main door, iron gate and letterbox with ONE key only. I have recently installed this brand of lock and now we carry only one key which can open the main door and wrought iron gate at the same time. Of course we can add and change the letterbox using the same set of key. Hi I bought a resale flat and now wish to change the locks for the main door, wrought iron grill gate and letterbox.

TimCruise12 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2016 Before hiring any locksmith or having locksmith service , first check whether the locksmith has the experience of repairing , installing and replacing or not. Ask them for references and they call the one by one. If they have provided them good service then hire them for installing the locks or for any lockout situation.
