A working example

From the lock enquiry to a recorded replacement

This is an illustrative workflow using the existing shared tools in Trade PA. You supply the findings and prices; Eve helps with the admin.

  1. Record the door problem and visit arrangements

    The customer reports a jammed lock. You need to verify authority to access the property and inspect the door and hardware. Save the customer, property and reported work in the job record.

  2. Confirm the hardware and your authorised scope

    Record what you have checked before you commit to the work:

    • Customer authority and access arrangements
    • Door type and existing hardware
    • Your findings and replacement specification
    • Call-out, labour and parts charges
  3. Separate attendance, replacement and fitting

    Make call-out and replacement charges clear. Use the hardware and price you confirm after inspection rather than promising a replacement from the enquiry alone. Review the draft, send it when ready and add the agreed visit to your diary.

  4. Retain lock references and completed-work notes

    Record the fitted product reference and completed work. Issue the invoice and retain the details for repeat visits.

Failed locks

Record the reported fault and access arrangements. After your assessment, quote the agreed replacement and fitting.

Planned upgrades

Repeat property visits

Save door and fitted-hardware references with the job. Keep each property’s completed work clearly identified on the invoice.

A few things to know.

Does the app verify access rights or choose security hardware?

No. You verify authority and select suitable hardware. Trade PA supports the customer record, appointment, quote and invoice.

Is this a separate app for locksmiths?

No. It is the same Trade PA app, with examples showing how the shared tools fit this trade. Use your own scope, prices and job details to make it fit the way you work.

What should I try first?

Create a test customer and a draft for “replace a failed door lock”. Add your own scope and prices, check the wording, then explore the appointment and invoice tools. You can review the draft without sending it.
