Comment on How are locks and keys mass produced?

  I am still confused. Aren’t locks modular and easily swappable on the other side of the ocean?

  This is how they look here. You can just swap it without changing the looks of the door in any way.

    Your confusion stems from the bureaucracy, not the method. Even if it was ‘simple as’, the result is the same.

    Some doors yes, other doors you have to take the whole thing apart. I would say most are not ‘easy’. I don’t know the outcome, I think they were rekeyed because I was told to keep the lock even if I replaced it. I left that week for unrelated reasons and had my property manager deal with it.
