Lee Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Customers point of view, a keys a key right? why do we charge differently for a cyliner key to a mortice one? Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxfer Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Erm, dunno. I've only just started cutting keys and that's what everyone does as regards price difference. Interesting point. I did spend a lot of time cutting a mortice recently which had two side cuts on each side as well as the front so it was a lot of fannying about.

hibsjo(SCO) Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Nicely put. upto 5secs for a cylinder anything upto 5mins for mortice. says it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted March 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 However to cut one you have to invest in the other, no good offering half service. Plus you had to have the bottle to start your own business in the first place, pay for all your overheads and earn a living. 5 seconds or 5 minutes the customer still doesn’t know the difference between the keys, all they are interested in is getting a spare key cut. Lets start charging a tenner a key…. In fact I will start a campaign why not have National tenner a key day second one twice the price! 1st April 2006.

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Using a "mini" for a Porch!!!! I have a Mahogony one with leaded glass but only 1 door, changing to a mini would give me an extra door, might just think about changing. Where does the postman stick your letters as the mini dont have a letterbox? Do you have one of those post boxes that the americans have at the end of the drive but pop-riveted to the mini?

StevenB Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 All my post is delivered to the shop, so it doesn't matter that the MINI has no letterbox. Besides, in his van the postie can never catch up with me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Well, you must have forgotten to tick that little square box that says "No Bl--dy Mail". Just wait until he passes you over to the 3rd parties and companies you may be interested in. Just realised that this thread is going way off couse, perhaps we should delete all the irrevellant posts not mentioning about a key topic!

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Carpets are old hat, may we interest you in our new line of solid wood (well the 1st 2mm is) lay it yourself flooring. Guarnteed to wake the neighbors when your keys drop on the floor (burglar deterant). Our latest model allows quick movement from one side of the room to the other,(you slide on your bum cos you cant stand up). No worry about finding the dirt, you will be able to spot the dust as it settles. Problem with a burst pipe sir? no worry just pull up the floor and lay a new one. Now why would you want a carpet with flea holding pile, just right for dogs and cats! Our salesperson will be in your area offering our special showhouse rates for 1 day only. (you dont mind a few dozen viewers with dirty shoes do you?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
