买房后换锁,是买新锁还是REKEY 好?

买房后想把旧锁换掉,是到HOMEDEPOT 买新锁还是找LOCKSMITH REKEY? 哪样经济实惠?
有没有好的LOCKSMITH 推荐?

多谢!

I'd get new locks

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!
