I now find that she no longer trusts someone with whom she left a key for
emergencies and doesn't want to claim the key back from them and anyway
she can't be totally sure they've not made a copy.

I've been pondering the options - if there were any decent locksmiths
nearby I'd take both locks there and get them to swap the levers round
but there aren't so it's either new locks
or maybe add a third lock?

For some locks you can get sets of levers & key.
Or swap the levers yourself & have a locksmith cut new key. If the lock is of the sort where you can swap them.


Definitely not. This way madness lies. She clearly has insecurity/paranoia
issues already. Adding more locks will not help. She only needs one good
lock.

someone's imagination appears to have run away with them.
