I lived in a house years ago where the previous owner had this done.I'd go to a locksmith and get the replacement cylinders / barrels 'keyed alike', so that the same key can open them all for you.
What are you giving keys to the kids for? You'll never get rid of them that way!Yes it is handy but with four kids, of course one of them 'loses' their key and obviously I had to change all the corresponding locks instead of just one.
I would/did. Held in place with one screw, easy to change. I ordered ABS cylinders online (having measured what I needed to have a flush finish). ABS are anti-snap and harder to bump. I flirted with a one-key-fits-them-all solution but reckoned one of the kids would lose a key and I'd be banjoed.Hey, about to get keys for house in Dublin and wondering should I change the locks?
A locksmith, being an expert in fitting locks, will be able to give you the best adviceGreat thank you all for the input.
I might call a locksmith and get a quote.
If any further recommendations on the type of locks let me know. Id definitely like to have them as secure as possible to avoid intruders.
