wellsy9 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 First guy in the door this morning: My big mate was in yesterday and got 3 keys cut and none of them work. Had to get a joiner out to put in a new lock so you owe me for the keys and the cost of the joiner. I asked him to show me the keys. Chancer: I binned them as they were no use. Me: So where was the original key that i cut the copies from then? Chancer: Eh i dunno but i had to get a joiner out. Me: Without the keys i supposedly copied i can't do anything for you sorry. I had a good laugh at him for trying as he walked out the door grumbling and swearing. Some people have got brass necks and will try anything to scam others.

repodave Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 I dislike joiners, locksmiths carry and supply locks, joiners should stick to wumps of wood and whack a chancer back of the neck with it . wellsy9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Muppet Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 We get the same at Timpson. People coming in with their quality key blanks trying to say we cut it wrong. We don't stock those good ones. Terrible behaviour. x minit uk, Flash, Lee and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebbo Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 What happened to the key you allegedly copied from, would that key not let him in? All you'd owe him is a refund if he had a receipt and the keys that didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellsy9 Posted August 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Ebbo that's why I said he was chancing his luck. He never got keys cut in the first place. He tried to get me to refund him the price of keys that I never cut, hoping I would fall for his scam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
