You may be able to buy new lock sets and have a handyman install, but if you do this, be very careful about
Kwikset lock sets. A neighbor recently asked me to remove and replace the door handle and deadbolt set. The new deadbolt would NOT fit in the existing holes in the door, and these could not be modified for the new deadbolt. Also, if you happen to have a Kwikset lockset many of these can be rekeyed with a simple tool, so you could buy the new set for the garage door, and use the tool to rekey the front door.
