Absolutely agree. My point was more a matter of some thinking that because a particular job only takes a minute or two it’s value is minimal. Your glass guys are savvy businessmen, too. Even if you don’t need anything in the near term, you’re likely to tell others about your experience. -D

They do, but it burns goodwill to charge high rates for tiny jobs. I recently had a piece of glass cut to replace the chipped glass on my Ghia speedo. I had no tools or skills to cut a 5" diameter round piece of glass, so I took it to the local glass shop. When I came to pick it up, they had

I drilled it out. Just your basic drawer lock kind of thing with a rotating catch. There’s one screw in the back holding it in. I suppose I could put some generic lock in. Oh, and the drawer was empty… which begs why it was locked. --FT Sent from iFōn > On Dec 3, 2021, at 5:35 PM, dan

Find a cheaper locksmith is my vote. $65 is a crazy price to open a simple lock that you are bringing to them. I could maybe see it if they had to drive out somewhere. On Fri, Dec 3, 2021, at 5:34 PM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes wrote: > Here’s the deal based on the EPC: > > The key and lock
