Hi Bonnie L,
A good Strata Manager would have budgeted and had them implemented by the due date. Our locks are still outstanding, am sure there is a mass of Unit blocks all over Sydney that are still waiting.
Our S/M sent out a quote from (what I call) one of their “preferred providers” that came to a staggering $11,500 for a block of 43 that would be applied to 30 units (13 are on the ground floor). Am pretty sure the part itself would be less tha $20 from Bunnings.
After I spoke with another company, a second quote was supplied, it amazingly came in at half the price of the first quote.
So as long as the company is fully compliant, then there is nothing stopping yourself obtaining quotes for the S/C to approve. I would definitely recommend it as in my experience these quotes are always significantly less. Funny that.
