Who has front and back doors that are keyed differently? I have one key for all doors.
Also, most locksmiths have cool key designs you can buy. Do that instead. Maybe do some electrolysis or powder coating if you must DIY. Paint will flake off inside the lock, gum up the works, and ruin your whole day.
Who has front and back doors that are keyed differently?
My house was designed to be a duplex (despite being a single house on a 6-acre country property), so the two floors have their own separate amenities. They only connect with a rickety staircase in the basement. Otherwise, they might as well be two separate apartments.
The house is embedded in a hill, so the first floor walks out at ground level in the front yard and the second floor exits at ground level in the back yard.
My parents used to rent out the first floor when I was a kid, so that door always had a separate lock. Now, I have a buddy and his mother living in the first floor while they’re trying to get back on their feet.
Their house got foreclosed on when they were 95% paid off on their mortgage, so they lost everything. And rentals are way too expensive in my area for them to afford. So they’re staying with me until they can save enough for a home of their own.
I like that they have their own key separate from my floor. I don’t have to worry about them snooping in my home when I’m not around, and vice versa. They get a sense of privacy, knowing that I’m not just gonna walk into their home.
