Long ago I replaced all four exterior locks on our house with Kwikset models that allow me to re-key each lock to use a common key. So my key ring is minimal with only one house key and I always have the right one since there is only one. But with those conveniences, there are a few other situations where these locks provide additional value.
You could give a housekeeper a unique key and re-key one lock they can open when they need access, re-keying it back after they finish. If your house keys are stolen, you can quickly change all the locks in a matter of minutes without waiting for and paying a locksmith. It’s also a great selling feature, providing new owners a no-cost option to know the old keys can no longer be used.
