Our front, back and garage door all have the same mortice key. It is so much easier just having one key.
Don't be silly Neil, this is HH your talking about, two different locks one a dead lock with a fly button on the inside (like the locks they took off), and the rear door is a Yale which has to be opened with a key no matter what time of day or night it is, as you can't keep it permanently unlocked maybe so nobody can put the snap down at night meaning you can't enter even with a key, why they need this type of lock I'll never know totally inadequate for the job. Mind you at least it does work, the new lock on the front door doesn't, it won't lock either with the fly button or the key, you couldn't make it up, its like Fred karno's circus
