Hello all.
My front door had (until recently) one yale and two mortice locks that both opened using the same key.
One of the mortices had been sticky for a while, and jammed up for good the other night. My friendly neighbourhood locksmith was able to get me back into the house, but he had to kill the offending mortice. He also said that they weren't up to the standard expected by insurance companies so I want to get two new mortices, but I don't want to end up with a big jailer's bunch of keys.
Is it possible to buy a pair of mortice locks that use the same key, and if so where?
Alternatively, do I have to get the locksmith back to install two new ones and 're-set' one?
Any ideas/ suggestions appreciated.
Nick.
