Good value I thought Cheers, D. May as well just drilled it out yourself, I always remember doing a refurb in the gold bullion shop in Bristol were the brinksmatt gold was laundered, had a key for the front door and the safe but not a lot of the security shutters, so called out a locksmith and was anticipating seeing some magical skeleton key in action, only to be gutted ten minutes later when he got a drill out and drilled all the barrels out the locks then got a grinder out and lobbed them off when that failed, I told him to do one for his money as I only called him in to try and save the locks and I could of just cut them off myself if I thought I was going to have to waste half a day waiting for a man with a grinder Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My thinking with a locksmith was he would come out and open the locks then cut me new keys, it was a bullion shop these were not cheap locks and cost a few hundred quid to replace why would I pay someone to come out and cost me a load of money, I know your a bit angry at the moment but your last comment is just silly, but as it’s a new year I will turn the other cheek and laugh it off 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
