Contractors' time tends to be valuable. One contractor almost lost a large chunk of this valuable time one morning in January.
The man was sitting in his kitchen drinking his morning coffee while going through the day's newspaper. He is a contractor and has the day's work ahead of him. After eating breakfast and drinking his coffee, it's time to get out and work. The man gets up, puts on his jacket and boots, and goes outside. It's cold and his breath is steaming in the fresh air.
The man's car is parked in the garage, and the thought of a preheated car feels good. He walks over to the garage door as the snow creaks under his steps. He takes out his key and inserts it into the Abloy lock. When he tries to turn the key, he notices that everything is not as it should be. The key is stuck and can't be turned. He thinks that it's probably just a bit sluggish in the lock when it's so cold. So he uses a little extra force to turn it. Then there's a crack, and the man stands confused, staring at a broken key. Half in his hand and half still in the lock.
Then he stands there for a while, wondering what to do. After all, he can't stay home from work today, his calendar is fully booked. He's got a spare key, but since the key stub is stuck deep in the lock, spare keys don't help. That's when the man decided to stop stressing, because he knows that a locksmith can fix the lock in an instant. After a bit of Googling to find out how quickly he can get a locksmith, he calls.
The phone rings at 24 Centers customer service. The customer service representative takes the routine call and promises the customer that a locksmith will be there quickly. The man sits inside in the warmth for a while and notices when a car turns into the courtyard. It's the locksmith. The man gets out and sees that the locksmith has already started on the lock in the garage. After a while, the key stub is gone, the lock is lubricated with thawing lock spray, and the door opens with the spare key.
The contractor thanked him and immediately jumped into the car to get the job done. In the meantime, the locksmith was in place to pack up his tools in the car. Despite the small setback in the morning, the customer thought that today would be a good day.
