    Had a whole place re done recently and had it so all doors were same key instead of a bunch of different ones, was close to 400 all up, was over 8 locks and a cople the whole sets had to be changed.

    And yes, they can do it even if you have zero keys.

    Nice! I have this setup at my PPOR. All locks share the same key (that can't be cut unless sufficient ID is presented as the key is registered). I remember it cost close to 1k for 5 new barrels. This was almost 10 years ago now though.

    Yeah, that's the way to go, making them all the same key.
    Especially if there's security screens + doors.

    Oh yeah, easier for all, where we live all keys are different, it was fun opening the doors when we had no lights working.

    Would have cost a lot more if registered.
