Why this job is often less expensive
A door that has merely slammed shut is generally easier to open than a locked mechanism. The work, and therefore often the price, is consequently lower than for more complex jobs.
The price should still be stated clearly in advance. The simplicity of the job is no excuse for opaque flat-rate charges.
What to watch for
- Make clear that the door has merely slammed shut and is not locked.
- Ask for the total price including travel in advance.
- Accept additional work only if it is demonstrably necessary.
- Check that the invoice clearly separates the basic service and surcharges.
Why this situation can often be resolved more quickly
Because the door has merely slammed shut, the job is often simpler than more complex lock situations. That makes a particularly transparent comparison worthwhile.
