Yeah, I think it's just a family business, but if it's not, only go in for fireworks. :mrgreen:

Lol, ouch. Yeah, never go to mom and pops shops for things unless you 100% need them. They jack up their prices to get a better profit, unlike a place like WalMart or Target who drop there prices to move more quantity.

Well this does raise a question. Are all his locks packaged? I know of some places that buy locks in sets. Walmart sells two keyed alike locks for cheaper then each one separate. So if he was to buy a couple sets, and make a copy of the key, or even just sell them with one key, he could easily sell them for less.

If that's not the case then be happy, you got lucky. :)

Why buy when you can beg from locksmiths? They throw out stuff that cant be installed or sold retail, but is still good for practice.

I just got a medeco cylinder (sans keys), an ace 7pin rimlock switch and a safe dial for the asking. Well, I did buy'em lunch, but that was after. Very nice people!
