I contacted Neighborhood Locksmiths in Laurel MD. I was told over the phone that the cost would be $35.00 for the call out and an additional $19.99 for difficult locks. The techinician arrived one hour and five minutes late. After waiting at my front door for the hour. He looked at the door and told me it was going to cost $196.00. His tactic was to make me wait and then run the price up, since I needed to get into my house. Of course, I did not pay that money and started calling another locksmith company. After arguing with the guy for 10 minutes he agreed to do it for $70.00, still higher than I was told on the phone. After the techinician complained that it was a tough lock and it would take awhile, he was able to get in the residence in about 3 minutes.
If you are contacting Neighborhood Locksmith or Dependable Locks Inc make sure to get a set price before using them. I orginally called Neighborhood Locksmith but a techinician came from Dependable Locks Inc.
Personally, I suggest not using either company.
