Start with the condition.
Understand the scope.
List the affected entries, authorized keyholders and any existing master-key or interchangeable-core arrangement. Agree on the proposed keying schedule, required key quantities and documentation with the business's authorized representative. Ask about timing, access during the work and the checks needed before old credentials are treated as retired.
What may be involved
- commercial pin kits
- keying chart
- code-stamped keys
- interchangeable cores where fitted
Ask the provider to distinguish existing parts to inspect, proposed replacements, and tools, materials or reports included in the service. Confirm the work and exclusions after assessment; this list does not mean that every item will be supplied or replaced.
LOCAL RESEARCH / Holden Heights
Local context
Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation runs a public licence search covering the professions and businesses the department regulates. If a provider quotes a state licence number for security or electrical work, the number can be checked there — and it is fair to ask what the licence actually covers, since the search only reflects professions DBPR regulates. Local registration and insurance are separate questions worth asking about as well.
Source ↗Planning your work
The City of Orlando's permitting pages state that the State of Florida requires a permit for most projects, even small ones, and that a project valued above $5,000 needs a Notice of Commencement filed with the Orange County Comptroller before work starts. For lock, door-hardware and entry-security work, ask which permit type the scope falls under before anything is ordered. Holden Heights sits inside Orange County, and some addresses near the city line are unincorporated and permitted by the county instead — confirm which building department covers the address. This is the authority's published guidance, not a determination about a particular property.
