2. Watch Out For the Old Bait and Switch – Many times a locksmith will give you a super low price over the phone only to come to your place of distress and sell you on something other product or service entirely.
3. Use a Little Hip Action – Sounds crazy but really try just opening the door. Most locksmiths will still charge you if they come out and the door is already operable.
4. Find a Jack of Car Locks – There are locksmiths who specialize in car locks. Oftentimes they can duplicate those keys that your auto dealer assured you could not be duplicated.

7. Number Two is the Standard for Pencils and Locks – Don’t set your lock up to be picked. When you are purchasing a lock don’t settle for less than a grade 2.
8. “Can’t Be Duplicated” May Not Be 100% True – Ask a locksmith you can trust about keys that really can’t be duplicated.
9. Always Re-Key The Locks of Your New Home – There’s a good chance a master key will be able to open old locks.
