What needs checking

Car door lock replacement: questions and answers
Will the replacement definitely use my existing key?
Not always. Ask whether the proposed part can be matched and whether a separate mechanical key will be needed.
Does a new door cylinder change the immobiliser?
Mechanical door access and electronic start authorisation are different systems. Confirm the scope of each job.
What affects the quotation for car door lock replacement?
Part availability, key matching and installation access affect the price. A quotation should confirm the agreed scope, parts and work before work is arranged.
