Lock Swindon

How NOT to open a door! A colleague came across this remarkable piece of work recently, done by someone who called themselves a 'locksmith'. A lady was locked out. As you can see, not only has the 'locksmith' ruined the lock and the handles, they have also scratched the door and marked the frame. They didn't even manage to get in! After an hour and a half they gave up and my colleague was called in to open the door and repair the damage. As expected, he took literally 3 minutes to gain entry, but a bit longer to replace the handles and tidy up the door as best as he could. Housing Association job, so the HA got quite a big invoice for this bodge. People, do yourselves a favour, call the professionals and save yourselves a whole dose of hassle!
