A couple of weeks ago the front door handle to my apartment came off. The only way to get in was remove it completely and rely on the deadbolt for locking the door. My landlord sent around a locksmith to put the door handle back together from the pieces I’d disassembled. After three minutes of fiddling he says, “it’s broke, I’ll install a new one … $250”. I said, “show me the piece that’s broke.” He couldn’t. I said, “I’m not convinced it’s broke, I think you just don’t know how it goes back together.” He said, “it’s the same thing.” No, no it’s not. Finally he says I owe him $80 for the call out. I said forget it, I’m not paying you not to reassemble my lock. The guy stormed off.
