Replacing door locks
I cannot lock one of my doors with the key. I cannot unlock the other one with the key. So, I have come to the conclusion it is time to replace the locks and keys. How hard is it to do? How hard...

Just replaced the entry door on our ACE because it broke. It was a TriMark brand easily found on Amazon for around $100. DO NOT BUY THIS LOCK!!!!! This is the lock that broke with the DW myself and two dogs inside. It is becoming well known as a dangerous problem because of frequent failure. Can't say for sure but I have heard TriMark sells a new version with a steel latch instead of cast zinc which was the weak point, around $200. I would buy this lock but did not.
Decided to go with an electric keypad type lock and got one made by "Bauer" on Amazon for around $210. Fit and instulaton were flawless, now will just see how it holds up over time. There were other brands of electric locks but I went with this one because it would use the same mounting holes. Jim.
