Out of curiosity, what kind of questions should a residential locksmith be able to answer? "How do you install a deadbolt and not let the pets out?" "Which brands of lock can be swapped without having to modify the existing hole in the door?"
Common causes of deadbolt locks binding when installed, whether hinges affect the fit of the door and can they be adjusted, heck this guy didn't even know how may pins are in a residential Schlage. I had a feeling this guy was a drill-and-kill guy and not a professional locksmith. I asked some simple questions that of course I knew the answers to just to check. He got all the questions wrong.
