    2 Types of Door Lock Installer and Their Installation Method

    There are two types of installer for door lock”:

    1. Contract Installer – usually used for project, where speed and quantity matter. The more installation they can complete, the more money they can make. Majority is a freelance.
    2. Specialised Trained Installer – only do end user work, attached to certain company that hires and trains them continuosly, doesn’t care about speed and quantity. But cares about strength, look and precision. Command a higher charges compared to contract installer. Use more updated tools and some special equipment.

    There are no good or bad here. Just what you require. What if you are just trying to fix some unimportant area of your old kampung house? You might choose contract installer.

    But if some important area, and you want it strong and good looking, go for specialised. If you choose a contract type, they just wana do it fast and might not even come back for rectification works.

  • Door Lock Installer – Who should you find to install your lock?

    Door Lock Installer – Who should you find to install your lock?

    Who should you find to become your Door Lock Installer or Contractor?

    Most of us will choose the service of common contractor or carpenter as our door lock installer. Simply because they are easy to find, and they will finish the job.

    We ourselves met many contractor along our work/ job. Majority contractor just take your money and get the job DONE and that’s it. AS LONG AS IT IS DONE. Other details is none of their responsibility.

    • Does it last long?
    • Does it look nice?
    • Are they using suitable material

    They don’t care. Sure you’ve experienced this before.

    But good news is, we did come across some responsible and experienced contractor can fit a lock pretty nice. They are more rare, but you still be able to find them in Kuching.

    Even with a responsible contractor, you will still have 1 last problem. Contractors are not trained to think in terms of security. That is what locksmith specifically trained at.

    • After a lock is fitted, how easy can it be break open?
    • Can it be kicked open?
    • Can it be pried?
    • Is there some weakness or easy ways to open the lock (windows, bypassing, etc)?

    Contractor just don’t know. It’s simply out of their field. You are like asking a general doctor to do a dentistry operation.

    Like what we have seen today:

    Looks nice, and nothing wrong.

    But this lock installation can be break open silently in 30 seconds, using 1 common household clamp. Locksmith knows this. Some police officers know. Some bomba officer knows. And most important, thief also knows. But, a contractor don’t know. And YOU don’t know.

    So depending on the location of the door, you might want to choose your installer carefully. Some less important are as toilet, storeroom, a good contractor perhaps is sufficient. For important location, get a qualified locksmith.
