I think the locksmith thing comes from a couple of things:

1. Some disreputable locksmiths (word gets around) - probably very few

2. A locksmith will try the fast methods first, if they work he wins, if they don’t he didn’t waste too much time.

3. After doing a lock once he could immediately redo the same lock much faster and this may make it look like he could have done it very fast to begin
