80 How Can Lock and Locksmith Merchants Use WeiCity? From Product Introduction to On-Site Service

From product introductions to on-site services

“Can a smart lock be installed on this door?”

“If my door lock is broken, can someone come to check it?”

“If I want to change my lock, what information do I need to provide?”

“Do you offer key duplication services?”

“Do you serve this area?”

When customers look for lock or locksmith services, they usually need to first confirm the door type, existing lock, installation conditions, and service area. Some want to buy a new lock, some need repairs, and others have urgent problems and want to contact a merchant quickly.

💡 With WeiCity, you can create your own merchant channel and organize your products, services, and contact methods, so customers can first understand what you offer before contacting you to confirm a suitable arrangement.

✅ Commercial Lock Service Providers

📌 Describe services according to your actual business scope. Installation conditions may vary for different doors, locks, and devices.

🔹 Mechanical Door Locks

💡 Start with the most frequently asked products and services, then gradually add model numbers and detailed information.

Recommended to specify:

✅ Brand and full model

✅ Product dimensions and materials

✅ Suitable doors or installation conditions

✅ Accessories included in the package

✅ Functions actually provided

✅ Whether installation service is included

✅ Warranty and after-sales inquiry method

🔶 Example: Smart Door Lock Introduction

Product name: Clearly state the brand and model.

Product features: Introduced according to the corresponding model information.

Installation conditions: Door, dimensions, and existing lock must be checked.

Included items: Describe the device and accessories.

How to inquire: Contact the merchant to confirm stock, installation, and price.

📌 Features and compatibility may vary by model. Product information and on-site assessment should be the basis.

Customers are advised to prepare the following when it is safe and convenient:

🔹 Full photo of the door

Helps the merchant understand the door and site conditions.

🔹 Front and back of the lock

Makes it easier to identify the existing lock.

🔹 Door edge and lock installation position

Helps make an initial check of installation conditions.

🔹 Brand and model label

Clear photos can be provided if available.

🔹 Basic Dimensions

Measure as requested by the merchant and state the units.

📌 Customers do not need to dismantle the lock themselves. Photos are used for initial communication, and an accurate fit may still require an on-site inspection.

🚪 What should be confirmed before installing a smart door lock?

Suggested content:

✅ Door material and structure

✅ Door thickness and installation space

✅ Existing lock and drilling condition

✅ Opening direction

✅ Whether additional construction is involved

✅ Power and maintenance requirements of the selected model

💡 Placing a checklist in the channel helps customers provide more complete information in one go when they inquire.

📌 Installation feasibility and construction work should be further confirmed by the installation staff.

You can list:

🔹 Regular service areas

Explain the areas you currently serve regularly.

🔹 Locations that need to be confirmed separately

Remind customers to provide a complete address.

🔹 Service hours

Note the time slots when you can usually be contacted or booked.

🔹 Temporary service arrangements

If offered, explain that staff and routes must be checked first.

🔹 On-site visit and booking confirmation methods

Tell customers how to confirm that a service has been arranged.

📌 On-site times should be based on the information actually confirmed by the merchant. Submitting an inquiry does not mean an appointment has been completed.

If you offer lock-opening services, you can state the following in your channel:

✅ Services are provided only for customers who are authorized to use the relevant premises or items

✅ Identity or proof of right of use may be requested on site

✅ Customers should first ask what materials they need to prepare

✅ If authorization cannot be confirmed, further verification is required before arranging service

💡 Explaining verification requirements in advance lets customers prepare the necessary materials before the service.

📌 Identity and authorization documents should be checked through the private channel designated by the merchant, and should not be published publicly.

Recommended to specify:

✅ Whether the lock price includes installation

✅ Whether on-site inspection or travel is charged

✅ How additional materials and work are priced

✅ Whether different time slots have different fees

✅ How fees are confirmed before repair

✅ Whether replacement parts are charged separately

🔶 For example:

“Please first provide the location, photos of the lock, and your service needs. After we check, we will explain the on-site arrangement and fees. If extra parts or work are needed, we will confirm with you first.”

📌 Product, installation, repair, and other fees should be clearly explained before service begins.

You can organize:

🔹 Warranty scope and period

🔹 Purchase or installation records customers should keep

🔹 How to contact you if a problem occurs

🔹 How to look up batteries or parts

🔹 How to obtain product manuals and usage materials

🔹 How to book repair or inspection

📌 Usage and maintenance requirements should follow the instructions for the specific model. Customers should keep passwords, keys, and other lock-opening credentials safe.

🔶 Customer asks: “Can I install a smart lock on this door?”

You can reply:

“Hello, here is our product and installation information. Please send photos of the whole door, both sides of the lock, and the door edge. We will review them first, then confirm whether an on-site assessment is needed.”

🔶 Customer asks: “My lock is broken. Can someone come take a look?”

You can reply:

“Please provide your area, photos of the lock, and the current problem. We will confirm the service scope, booking method, and fee information for you.”

🔶 Customer asks: “How much does a whole new set of locks cost?”

You can reply:

“The cost will be confirmed based on the lock model, installation conditions, and scope of work. You can first provide information about the existing lock and door, and we will then check the product and installation arrangements.”
