we have one local man who makes " house calls". his locks are top price but I like his work and the keys he makes cannot beduplicated at another hardware store or such. He let me" feel up " the little machine he has in his van and it is kind of neat. If I ever did it again, to change locks I would like to go to a deadbolt system but also with a card. as most of you have seen or felt there are a couple types one where the lock part is like built into the door and another one I have felt is actually mounted on the outside of the door sticks out the length of the card and you slide the card. /key in the full length. .
