That's why I asked here, to avoid that if possible/


A French family live across the road. Very nice neighbours. They did a
house exchange with her sister (who lives in Paris) a while back. And gave
the sister the spare keys. New night latch, so presumably had extra cut as
they have two kids.

And the key didn't work. She'd obviously been told to contact me if
problems. Luckily had no problems getting into the house and opening the
door.

Bit of online showed B&Q stocked the same lock. So I offered to get a new
one and swap them over.

Sister decided to get a locksmith in. Cost three times as much as me
changing the lock for them at cost.
