The client's name has been changed.

Let's call the client Andres. A few years ago his lock was replaced. The work went well, he immediately threw away the documents and packaging. A few years later we needed:

  • additional keys;
  • consultation;
  • understanding the exact model.

And then it turned out that no one remembers what exactly was installed.

Why lock information is useful

It may be needed for:

  • services;
  • selection of compatible parts;
  • ordering keys;
  • future replacement;
  • consultations.

What's wise to keep

It is not necessary to store the box for ten years. Enough:

  • take a photograph of the model;
  • save the name of the manufacturer;
  • save documents or key system card, if provided;
  • record the installation date.

Why this is especially important for controlled key systems

In some systems, the production of additional keys is associated not only with the external shape of the key, but also with certain documentation or system identification.

Therefore, losing all accompanying data may create unnecessary complications.

After professional installation, the client must understand what has been installed for him

In the material provided, the replacement process ends not only with verification, but also with an explanation to the owner of the use of the new lock. It’s logical to add a simple rule to this: remember or save the system model.

Model information seems unnecessary as long as everything works. But it can save a lot of time during the first service.
