Agreed. Moreover what I learned from the experience is that the advice of you're going to get better service/value at a locksmith is not always true. Keymaking in itself is a craft, and there are good keymakers and bad keymakers. Although one would hope that a locksmith, having been trained and certified will be better, that's not always the case. I definitely wouldn't expect all hardware store staff to be as thorough as the guy at my local Ace. In my case, he's better in both service and value at keymaking than my local locksmith. I won't be calling him if I need the lock on a safe re-worked though :-)

Just curious, did you do the X266 based on this writeup?

No, I had these cut last summer. The X266 selection was made by the hardware store employee.
