They get you to ask the customer to pay £48 + vat for a euro cylinder (plus the hourly labour rate which is always upwards of £54+).

Enough said!

they look pretty big, seem to have some large contracts, They are ISO qualified and marked.

The only thing you might find is that a firm this large want drill and kill cowboys and not a refined nde locksmith.

Companies this big tend to rely on speed and lots of parts used. Wouldn't be my choice to call them but would be an good source of business I imagine.

Well it never hurts, give them a go, maybe they might be impressed. If they aren't, and they fire you, what are they going to say.. well you did oyu job right so were going to have to cut you lose.

I say the faster a NDE specialist gets in there the better.

I went to a lockie the other day, trying to find a d*amn american padlock. Ofcourse he asked why, and i said that my other had a lost key, he offered to drill it and replace it for 100$... plus tax.

If this is how lockie are around here, i can't wait the little while till i am certified, everyones a critic of a lcok pick or NDE specialist... till yu save them money :)

Best of luck to you buddy. Le tus know how everything turns out.
