Lock Question?

Bought new Sclage locks for our house to replace the old ones (never know who has keys from the previous owners).....go to get extra keys made and find out that the keys for both lock sets are exactly the same???? They are seperate locking door knob sets and the keys from both sets open the other locks???? Does this sound strange to anyone else???? Couldn't I just take my key to another home with the same lock and let myself in? Or vice versa????

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

you never have to look for the front door key as apposed to the back door key

there's just so many combo's you can do with x number of pin's in a lock,,you got lucky....no need to buy new door knobs/dead bolt's,,,the old one's could have been repined to change the code and just gotten new key's to match.

BOAT fish do count.

They are sold in sets like that so you only have to have one key to get in the front door or back door.
They call it keyed alike.

Schlage Locks are for the most part low security easily pickable locks. I would find a locksmith shop and tell them what level of security you want and spend the bucks for some really good deadbolts.

Low Security. You can buy master key sets to open Schlage locks online...
