I have a client, they need a door that locks installed on a back room of an office, at the end of a hallway.
Basic interior passage door with a deadbolt added to the door.
They are doing some outside consulting that has to have a secure area in their office to lock up when no one is there.
Oh and they need it like yesterday.
Here are some pictures of the hallway that the door will go into.
Right at the end there.
The view from inside the room that the door will secure.
Yes the door jam will go partly over that low window, I'll have to put some thing there to secure it, but that will be the strike side, the white wall/corner will be the hinge side.
This is the type of door, not the exact color, I think they want either the lighter brown one or the white one.
Catalog price for the door (FULL retail) is $600, that comes with the jam, hinges and lockset etc, (I'll be adding a deadbolt) I can get the door for cheaper than that, about $300.
Normally I charge five times materials, but that is usually for something that I manufacture in my workshop, this is more of a buy it and install it thing. The door and jam is slightly smaller than the opening, so I'll have to do some shims and then some casing to hide that, pretty typical I think.
What would you charge for something like this?
I'm thinking charging five times materials in the quote but as they are friends, giving them a discount, I'll still make some good money on this and they have more work for me to do, including a couple of custom shelving units.
I appreciate the help.
Cheers!
