Have you ever called a locksmith? Usually it's because you left your keys inside and you closed the door without realizing. When a door closes this way it doesn't matter what lock it sports: could be the best in the world but is still unlocked and easy to open. If it is not a credit card, is something slightly more sophisticated.

The price of a service is always dictated by competition. Obviously, there is not enough competition in the locksmith world.




I've found that almost all doors open with a business card, which bends around the corner. The only ones that don't open are the ones that fit the casing too well to squeeze in and manipulate the card through.

That trick has saved my friends' money on many occasions.
