If your cylinders have the same profile, you will be able to open all your doors with a single key! In addition, we can implement an upgrade to your security and provide SKG*** certified high quality cylinders. We also provide registered cylinders with keys that are patented to prevent copying.

Payment: how will I be billed by A-keys | Slotenmaker The Hague?
 

If you have locked yourself out or experienced some other emergency with locks and keys you probably do not have a wallet or cash on you. Our technicians carry cash terminals that will enable you to pay by bank or credit card. Unless agreed otherwise prior to a call-out we will expect customers to pay us directly, as soon as work has been completed. You can also pay cash or transfer money using your banking app, as long as we are able to establish that payment has been received. As soon as we have your payment you will receive a receipt that includes all relevant information including our adress details. We can transfer receipts and invoices to you by e-mail or text message. The recipt is your digital warrantee and is valid for 5 years from date of issue! If you require a detailed invoice please notify the technician.
 

Pay later: is this an option?

​

In exceptional circumstances A-keys | Slotenmaker Den Haag can agree to invoice you later. Customers who are unable to pay immediately will need to clear the method of payment with the technician prior to making an appointment. A technician may ask for a down payment. Customers have no right to pay later. Unfortunately, our experience with invoicing is that delays in payment involve a lot of extra time and many customers end up paying us much later than stipulated in our terms and conditions (14 days Max).

 

5 year warrantee on goods & services

​

We exclusively work with the best quality materials available.* This way we avoid a lot of unnnecessary complications and ensure that our materials —locks, cylinders, keys and other security fittings — work properly for many years and require minimal to no servicing. If you do experience any problems with any security materials provided by us, we will replace it free of charge. As far as possible we do this immediately. A-keys | Slotenmaker Den Haag (SDH) guarantees high quality materials and workmanship!
 

In a few rare cases we will service or provide materials that have not been certified according to the modern SKG standards. For example, if you have an old or antique lock on your door and do not want to replace it, we can service it, or make improvements, but it will not be certified and you may need to check this with your insurance policy. Our technicians will inform you if this is the case.

How much does it cost to open or replace a cylinder or lock?

​

A normal emergency dooropening does not involve damage to doors or locks. In and around Den Haag we charge ± €85.- including VAT (21%). This is the standard price for opening a door as long as we do not need to drill. (90% of cases). If you take into account the price of publicity, websites, running the business, tax, insurance and VAT, this is a minimum charge and anyone claiming to work for less is likely to be a fraud.

 

Warning! Prices may increase if we need to drill or replace a lock or cylinder. These 'unexpected' costs are difficult to predict before we have inspected the situation on location. Our technicians will always inform you of any extra costs before they start work and they do not deliberately damage a cylinder or lock to increase their bills! In all cases, we discuss any out of the ordinary charges with our technicians to prevent them overcharging customers and we only employ people we trust to maintain our reputation for integrity.
