hi guys,was wondering,my wife locked herself out of the house last Saturday around 12noon,i wasent here so she called a locksmith company,dont want to name them yet but they seem a big company who likely sub-contract out most of there work,or francise it out.
he drilled out the ERA yale lock[can I call it a yale lock if its not made by yale] to get the wife in,
on the compant website it says no call out charges,she had to pay £160 including vat,he wanted another £60 to change the lock,lucky she called me and I told her not to get the lock changed,got the middle bit off amazon for £6 to replace.
this is in surrey,so thoughts please.
ive been looking online and it says a good locksmith would not have had to drill the lock at all.
many thanks
