Default Replacing door lock barrels

Hi
Does anyone know if it is possible to replace the barrel of a Yale
lock and still use the original key.
My question relates to our block of flats where the lock on the main
entrance door is worn and difficult to open.
Replacing the lock with a new one and a new key would require issuing
70 new keys to the residents.


Any good locksmith can do that for you. Preferably, you have kept one of
the original keys that came with the lock to use as a master when
cutting spares. If so, give that to the locksmith to make the barrel to.
