Or you can just repin the lock.

Do you know about these? You can rekey locks yourself for much less than the cost of a locksmith or new locks.

As an aside, if you're somewhere between an entry-level and moderate handyman it's not too difficult to grab a lock repinning kit from Home Depot and just change the pins in the locks. They have kits for a few different brands. Amazon has the Schlage, Weiser, and Kwikset kits for a bit cheaper than HD.

It's what I'd do between tenants. Under $20 to repin up to six locks to use the keys included in the kit. The first lock I did took a good half-hour to get the hang of it, but after that it was under 10 minutes a lock.

Thanks! Actually I see a Prime-Line brand for Kwikset. So I will buy that one.

KIK or on Amazon

Mortice

They're all six-pin locks, but only keyed with five pins. Adding the sixth pin to the lock yourself will give you some practice gutting and reassembling a core. Might even cause you to learn to shim since you won't have a key that operates the sixth pin.

These little kits have everything you need for rekeying as a beginner. Also here and here.

1.) I'm not 100% sure on the answer, but if you want one key for one house, you'll need one brand of locks. Then you can always look up a pin kit for that brand. I just don't know to what extent brands are compatible in terms of pins.

2.) You'll need tweezers, a large paperclip, like big and strong (helps you pop open door knobs), a cylinder remover (pops off the retaining ring), and a plug tool for holding the springs in place when you change out the pins.

3.) Operate slowly and read the directions. It's hard to know what to expect when you do it the first time, so they'll probably pop. When this happens, use the plug tool. Put it in so that it covers up 3 pins. With the 2 exposed pin, pop in the spring of the pin adjacent to the plug. Pop the pin on top. It helps to kind of wedge the plug against the pin as you set it into place. Then slide the plug over the pin. Repeat for the next hole. Now, slide the plug all the way through the lock so that only the two pins you placed in there are covered. Repeat procedure for remaining 3 pins. Now pop the cylinder back in and pray you never have to do this again.

This kit has everything you need, but only does a few locks.
