[Shop-talk] Changing a lockset without the key

[eric at megageek.com]

I'm guessing these are Schlage Locks?
First, do you have a nice lock pick set?  They are cheap and dead bolts 
are trivial to get into.

You can also youtube 'bumpkey" for another way to get it.  That takes a 
little practice, but its pretty straight froward. 

Failing those, a regular locksmith can do it.

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,
