Start with the door schedule
List each opening, existing lock and wiring, and whether the reader, controller or lock can be reused. Ask for a per-door scope and a separate line for shared equipment. Similar-looking doors may require different work.
Compare the recurring costs
Ask whether software is priced per site, door or user. Add the contract term, credential charges and support to the installation total. Ask for the cost of adding a door later.

Frequently asked questions
Does the price of a reader tell me the installed cost?
The installed price also depends on compatible hardware, cable routes, commissioning and any recurring software.
