could be worth checking your home insurance policy, some have a lost key insurance included were they will pay for new locks to be fitted.
obviously you would have to loose your keys and be locked out (cough cough) in order to get them changed0 -

I have been thinking about you and I am so pleased to hear from you!
I am so happy that you are doing ok, and doing something!
I am going to see if I know anyone in your neck of the woods that can help with locks, I used to live round there.

Last time I had to do it, I bought the Yale barrel from a local locksmith for £6 including two keys, & I had done it in under 10 minutes. It's very simple to do.BSC #53 - "Never mistake activity for achievement."
