Hi,

I wanted to know roughly what sort of percentages you guys get as call outs in the UK?!?

Im guessing here, but I think its somewhere along the lines of

50% Rim Cylinder
30% Euro
20% Mortice

Does this sound about right to everyone?

Cheers

Very much a newbie.

It depends on the type of calls you are talking about. If your talking lockouts then your guess is probably about right. But i seem to end up fitting more mortices than rim cylinders and Euros.

But i think your going to find its different for everybody. I see your in London where abouts are you based ? These figures will depend on the area you work in .

Cheers
Steve

It depends if its fitting or opening really. It loads of calls to open euros and rim and not so many mortice but i fit a lot of mortice locks and change a lot of euros.
