What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Installs battery-powered keypad and smart deadbolts in existing door preps, or bores new holes to the lock maker's template.
- Adjusts the strike and latch so the bolt throws fully without the door being pushed or lifted.
- Sets up the master code with the owner and tests every code, the physical key and the battery backup before leaving.
How it works
- The owner picks the lock, and the door thickness, hole size and backset are measured to confirm it fits.
- The door prep, strike alignment and install are priced in writing.
- The lock is installed, the strike is adjusted, and the door is tested from inside and out.
- Referred out: hardwired access systems, doorbell wiring and any new electrical work.
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; the owner sets or confirms the codes at the end of the visit.
- Photograph the damage before anything is moved and keep every receipt; 24/7 Express Handyman Service provides an itemised invoice your insurer may ask for. The dispatch fee and job cost are paid by you on the day.
