Why? You locked out

Depends really. I'm not a locksmith but I've called out emergency locksmiths in the past and its a flat fee of around £200 + £50 per hour. It can get expensive and cheaper to 'put the window in' and then get a new pane(s) of glass.

Saying that, they were master locksmiths, if such a thing exists.

He could be in debt up to his eyes though... I guess it is a craft and £50 an hour seems reasonable (and is the going rate round here) but then I guess they dont work 8 hours a day 5/6 days a week...

wouldnt mind looking into this as a job, where would you do the training??

all day out and about, could live with that.

would be unsocial hours but being a DJ that'd be nothing new!
