Locksmith gets less tips and more price complaints...
Presumably if you had the tools etc to do that with you, you also have your key.

A screwdriver and a hammer or simply kicking the door in. Replacing the lock can be cheaper than calling in a locksmith.

I've seen doors kicked in where it was the jamb that broke and not the lock. I think I'd rather call a locksmith...

I've never seen the lock break in this case. It's always the jam or the door.

If you've seen a fair few kick-ins, do you have an opinion on the effectiveness of kickstops?
