I have always heard that the door lock manufacturers make all their keyed locks with only a few different key configurations, so when I get a new lock put on our front door, I'd like to change the lock in some way.
Up till this point, every time I've bought and installed new locks, they have always been keyed to our current housekeys.
But now I want a totally new lock, keyed to a totally different key than I currently have (even the master key gets stuck easily, and I just want to start new with a new combination of lock and key).
What do I tell the keymaker at Lowes to do? Can they just randomly adjust the lock and key together, making a unique combination? Or are my only choices (a) my current key configuration or (b) stock setting on key and lock?
