A few years ago, we took a look at some unique DIY locksmith fails and why it usually makes more sense to trust a professional locksmith for your security needs. Well, fast-forward to today and people are still making similar mistakes by pretending to be locksmiths themselves instead of turning to a professional for thelp.
Here are a few additional fails that we’ve seen:
Door or Bike?
Bike locks are great… for bikes. Not so much for vehicles (especially locksmithing vehicles).

Cash Office Fail
Your business’ money is important, sure, but you’ll be spending all of it on repairing your door if you go this route.
