Hi SALYBOW!
Did the builder do this at the closing walk-through? Did he rekey using the tool that hdh1470 described in his post?
Master keys are definitely out there. We were at Floormasters discussing installing tile when they wanted to know when the guy could come out to measure. When I told him that we didn't own the house yet, he said that in that case, he'd go out in the next couple of days and measure as he could get into any of the new houses with his key. Sure enough, a couple of days later I got a call from the salesman at Floormasters that they had gotten in the house and done the measuring for the tile.
We are closing on the house on Monday and that incident got us to thinking that we should have the locks changed. Who the heck else has master keys to all of these new houses??
