Locksmith Invoicing Best Practices
Record ID & Property Authorization
Always note 'Customer ID Verified' and driver license # on the invoice copy for legal liability protection against unauthorized entry claims.
List Key Quantities Provided
Explicitly state: 'Handed 2 master keys and 3 copy keys to client' so there is never a dispute over missing keys.
Itemize Cylinder Counts
Break down per-cylinder rekey pricing (e.g. 5 exterior cylinders @ $25/ea) to make the bill transparent.
