He mentions basically doing that:
> I researched getting a locksmith to come out, it would run hundreds of dollars in their time plus you can only re-key locks to a key made by the same manufacturer
> I could save money by bringing the locks to a locksmith’s store, replacing off brands with a single brand and re-installing myself, and there are esoteric expensive kits on Amazon for locksmith-style rekeying, but each brand requires it’s own $80 box of materials plus many hours of practice to master
- dpark 7y agoIt does not take hours to master rekeying a lock. It would take hours to do a whole house but probably an hour at most for the first.
