And even still, whenever I or a friend has hired a locksmith, they try for 5-10 minutes with no success and drill thru the lock destroying it.

That is to make it look like the job is hard
Or to sell you an overpriced lock they conveniently have for sale and in stock in their vehicle.
> overpriced lock they conveniently have for sale and in stock in their vehicle
I object to the word overpriced in this context. It costs a lot of money to keep locks, tools, and other spare parts in a vehicle (including the cost of the vehicle). If you need a lock now and they have one it should cost a lot more than if you need a lock in 6 months and can wait for the factory to get around to making it. When you call their locks overpriced you are failing to understand the costs and value of having a part on hand.
I object to locksmiths that drill out consumer-grade locks you buy from Home Depot, instead of picking them.
Maybe some of them are selling normal-price locks, but people don't call a locksmith to drill out their lock when they can borrow their neighbor's drill.
They either can't pick an easy lock or they're scamming people.
