Is anyone (or know anyone) who's a locksmith?

Just got the keys to our new place late last night. Been moving stuff all day

But the seller could not find keys to the garage/house door and the garage/backyard door.

Needless to say, we want to change those locks. I know it could be as simple as buying new mechs and installing them, but it would be nice to narrow the front door/2 garage doors down to one or two keys (instead of three). I know the pins inside the lock mech would need to be changed. Nothing ive done before and would like to have it done if the price is right.

Let me know, thanks

Go to hardware store, buy 2 sets of locks with matching key codes and you are set! I did that recently! Reduce to 1 single key for all doors.

quickset makes it so easy. You can buy 20 locking door ***** if you want and you can actually set the pins to 1 key! It's great for things like that. You can pick them up at your local Home Depot. Good luck!

You can get your locks re-keyed at most hardware stores as long as all the locks are the same brand. You would need to bring the cores in. Should be cheaper than having a locksmith go to you house.
