If I were you, I'd definitely get new locks. Also make sure that the new locks are bumping-proof!
The following are two clips talking about a newly discovered problem with most locks on the market because most of the locks are susceptible to "bumping":
There are many commercial rated locks are bump-proof, but few for residential use -- you can get them from lock-smiths, but not from your local hardware stores. Last year, two major residential lock makers have made two locks available:
1) "Nightwatch" series Locks (Bump Stop Technology from Master Lock)
2) BumpGuard series locks from Kwikset
Happy New Year everyone, and Good Luck with good locks!
