Non payment for Master key project on multi family apartment building 43 units with an additional 12 basement doors.

Did they agree to the quoted price? Did you do the work? Personally, I would tell them to pay the bill, and if they don't, you will take legal action (lawsuit, lien, etc.).

Just my 2 cents

I've found that a well written estimate, signed by the locksmith and customer solves a lot of problems. In your case, did an agreement give time limits fir completion or certain days you couldn't work, such as weekends? If not, they owe you the money. If your state allows small claims actions for what they agreed to but now won't pay you, that's where to go. As for verbal agreements, when I opened my own locksmith business, I quickly learned that a verbal agreement even with a handshake, isn't worth the paper it's written on. Always put it in writing.

Thanks for the reply, The client agreed to the written price and signed the invoice and made requested down payment. The work was completed per the scope of work. We are very small and do not know if we can go through a lawsuit or not we will contact an attorney and see where we stand. Thanks Again!
