Questions & Forms

Quick answers about accounts, payment, ordering, delivery, and returns — and the forms you need to get started.

How do I open an account?

Download the credit application that fits you, complete it, and email it to Ckilock@ckilock.com. Use the Apartments application if you are an apartment community or its management company, and the Business application for contractors, builders, locksmiths, and everyone else. Have a bank reference and five trade references ready — missing references are the most common cause of delay.

What are your payment terms?

Approved accounts are Net 30: invoices are due in full 30 days from the invoice date. The complete terms of sale are printed on the credit application.

What forms of payment do you accept?

Cash, check, MasterCard, Visa, and Discover. A 3.5% service charge applies to all credit and debit card transactions; pay by cash or check and there is no service charge. To keep a card on file for your account, complete the Credit Card Authorization form.

Do I need an account to buy from C.K.I.?

No. We are a wholesale supplier, but walk-in customers are welcome at our counter. You only need an account if you want to buy on Net 30 terms.

How do I place an order?

Call 713-462-0704 or toll-free 800-445-5230, email Ckilock@ckilock.com, or visit our counter at 10020 Sussex Ln, Houston. We are open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Can I order online?

Not at this time. Orders are placed by phone, by email, or at our counter. We hope to offer online ordering to account customers in the future.

Where do I find part numbers and pricing?

Our full catalog is on the Catalog page — browse it online or download the PDF. For current pricing, call or email us with the part numbers and we will quote you.

Do you deliver?

Yes, on orders of $50 or more. We deliver locally and ship by UPS. In-stock items generally arrive in 1–2 business days; special orders take longer, and we will give you a date when you order. You can also pick up at will-call, 10020 Sussex Ln, Houston, TX 77041 — call ahead and we will have it ready.

What is your return policy?

Call 713-462-0704 to request a return within 5 days; after that a restocking fee may apply. Items must be unused and in their original packaging. Special-order items are non-returnable, and locks that were keyed are subject to a keying charge deducted from your credit. Report damaged goods or shortages within 3 days and hold the damaged items for inspection. Defective items are replaced or credited free of charge.

Do you key locks to our system?

Yes. We key alike, key different, and master key, and we can key new hardware to your existing system — including master key systems for apartment communities and commercial buildings. Send us a sample key or your keying schedule and we will match it.
