[Shop-talk] Changing a lockset without the key

[Karl Vacek]

Just remove the lock faceplate or whatever from inside the house and it’ll pull right out.  If it’s a quality lock, you can get it and the others all keyed alike.

Night a new house. Foreclosure.

 

I'm sure this is the first of a bazillion questions (the fridge also is not responding to Google...or maybe I'm not).

 

There are several locked deadbolt (both sides) doors that everyone claims to not have keys for.

 

Is it as simple as disassembling the lockset until I can remove and replace it, or they've thought of that and I've got to get the door out first?

 

Trying to work though that initial feeling of being incredibly overwhelmed,
