Quick answers for Malibu

Should I change the locks or just rekey them in Malibu? +

If the hardware is fine and you only want new keys (after a move-out or a lost key), rekeying is cheaper. Change the lock when it is worn, damaged, low-security, or you want a different type like a deadbolt or smart lock.

Can all my new locks use one key in Malibu? +

One key for the house is normal when the cylinders match. Say that you want them alike.

How many doors can be done in one lock-change visit in Malibu? +

Write the number of doors. A forgotten garage door is how a lock-change turns into a second trip.
