I could be wrong though. We don't have lever locks or a wide selection of residential locks to mess with. Everyone has the same crappy kwikset installed.



Abloy is very common here...my parents door has Assa, that one I picked half way but didn´t have the courage to make it through..(in the fear of busting it) :?

We do get calls from customers to pick a door lock and I´m learning all the time :)

If you break the lock while picking it, then its a pretty crappy lock

Ooh, input from a locksmith's customer! Yeah, I imagine anywhere in Cali will cost that much. How long did they take to arrive, how fast did they open your door, and how did they open it? Lockpicks? Pick gun?
