Why decide early
In a lockout you'll pick the first result. Some of those are lead-generation numbers with vague prices. Deciding ahead lets you compare calmly.
What to check
- Is the price structure published? Ours is on the price list.
- Do they give an estimate on the phone?
- Do their terms say who does the work?
- Do they take cards?
What to save
The number, the business name, and a note of the service call fee. Add your building's concierge number and any gate codes in the same contact.
And a spare key
Leave one with a trusted neighbor or friend in the District. It's still the simplest lockout solution there is.
