.- We used to buy locks at Home Depot and just swap handsets, but now use a locksmith for same cost.2) Get rid of handset locks (use passage knobs) and only use deadbolts.- Two locks on a door really don't provide any additional security.- Cheaper as only have to rekey/replace deadbolts.- Tenants can't lock keys in their home.3) Our locksmith created a Master Key system with 10 key option.- One master key opens every door- We go 3 levels under our master, so we can submaster 2-4 unit houses and apartment buildings- Don't need a costly and difficult to secure & track keybox.
