Excuses excuses Jeff.

I HAVE KEYS!!!!!!!

I guess I know what I am spending my day off tomorrow doing...changing the locks! LMAO

If the locks are ok you can have them rekeyed, rather than buying new ones. A lot cheaper.

[Virtually_Handsome]

And, YIPPPPPEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

YIIIIPPPPEEE. I think we are all just as excited as you are. I am so happy for you.

hugs, kat

I think the locks are all fine. But I don't plan on paying anyone to do anything to them. I was doing to replace the deadbolts myself since I don't know how to rekey locks and DIY usually is cheapest lol.

Thanks everyone!

Making a phone call won't hurt. Locks are expensive. Years ago, it was cheaper to have a locksmith come out and rekey our locks than it would have been to buy new ones. There were five doors, though, so with deadbolts it was a lot of locks.

[MichelleLT]

Ah, see I only have 3 to do. And 2 of those are deadbolt only.

If you can take them out and bring them to a locksmith, they should be about $15.00 each to rekey. I happen to make keys.

[MichelleLT]

Too bad you don't live closer! LOL.

My roommate works at Lowe's, so with her discount replacing deadbolts is pretty cheap.

Would that include the cost of getting a couple keys made for them?

What I am concerned about is that I have no idea how many people have keys to the house since the couple that lost it in a short sale never turned over the garage remotes, and probably not all their spare keys, plus the current owner has at least 2 copies, and I only got one set.
