[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Call a locksmith and get a quote to re key 4 locks and specify you need them "keyed alike".  When you call have the lock type written down.  Do the doors have deadbolts or is this just the lock in the handle.  If you can tell the locksmith the brand of locks that will help as well.  Then when they give you the price you decide if the cost is worth it.  Remember to factor in how quickly they will do this vs how long it will take you to figure it out as well as your skill level with doing this.  Also, if you need to change your locks then factor in your peace of mind.  There are some home repair tasks that are worth paying someone to get done quickly and correctly.[/quote]

I agree with PP. We have always had a locksmith come and rekey all the locks immediately when we moving into a new home...then you are starting from a clean slate in terms of keys. In the future I'd recommend having one door use a keypad lock. You can create a four digit code to give different people, and withdraw the code at any time. For example, you could have given the dog sitter a specific code and after all this, deleted the code so it can no longer be used. Then you don't need to worry about keys being made and such. Good luck.[/quote]
