So, I bought a set of locks for a closet door on the patio of the condo, and after trying to rekey them to the house key, they locked up, and quit working. Support sent me to the Orange Apron, even though I bought them at Blue Apron.
After almost being killed on the freeway (story for a different forum), I made it to Orange Apron. I should have known better than to let the guy touch my locks, but oh well.
OA: +3 Orange Apron of fail.
Me: Now equipped with +5 beard of leet.
OA: I don't know much about these...*puts lock into reset mechanism*
Me: As long as it starts working, no worries.
OA: *calls for help when reset mechanism doesn't work...unsurprisingly, after not following the instructions.*
OA: Let's try this...
Lock: *SPROING!*
Both: *watches as 20 pieces from the lock go flying all over the keymaking booth*
OA: Err....*picks up pieces, puts them in a bag* You should probably go to another Orange Apron, and see if they can fix this.
Me: ...How about I just go to blue apron instead...
I quickly walked out, went to blue apron, where I should have gone in the first place. I only seem to run into either the newbies who think they know what they're doing, or the more dangerous ones that make a mess for everyone else to clean up after at OA. BA has always been much better about that, plus they're far closer to where I live, so I go there instead.
Lady at Blue Apron took one look at the baggie of parts from the lock, shook her head, and said there was no way to put it back together, and replaced it as defective for me.
