  1. The exact same thing goes on in the car lockout business too. Always have insurance to cover this thing, or you're at their mercy. I called a mobile locksmith to make me a spare key once (I was not locked out). Price listed was $79. A guys shows up in a beat up dirty car with no signage or anything, no uniform or ID badge, and worst of all, doesn't have the right key fob! Says he'll make me a "key that will work" for $300. I told him to get off the property after calling the service. They said they "contract" with various "providers" who can charge whatever they want. I said not in my world, BYE.
