“Dear PoP,

Do you have any suggestions for cheap, trustworthy locksmiths in the DC area? I have been swindled by locksmiths in the past and want to know if you or your readers have any suggestions.”

Who do you guys recommend? Not to be too naive but how do you get swindled by a locksmith? Is that like being overcharged or they don’t actually do the work properly?
