Default Change your locks cheaply

I called the locksmith and he wanted $69 to make a trip to the house and around $15 to change the lock.

Instead, I went to Lowe's and brought a brand new entry knob for the front door for $27.97 and installed it in about 10 minutes.

Also, before you buy anything, check prices at Target and Walmart.

We are loving it here in the Villages. It is very safe, but you never know how many workmen have a key to your house. And if you bought an older home, keys could be in the hands of relatives, neighbors, workmen and friends!
