Forum / Move-Out & Eviction / Change locks? Avoid locksmith?

Does everybody out there change the locks between each tenant? I have been, but it is pretty expensive. I've heard that there is a way of changing the locks oneself. Is anyone aware of this? Also, is it possible to use combination locks? Thx!

There are great new programmable locks in which you can basically just buy the key for it and just update the keys after each tenancy, I believe Kwikset makes them. They also have bluetooth and coded entry that are very affordable and quite the great investment.

Go the Landlordlocks.com. Just change the core of the locks and not the whole set. I am buying them for my new 72-unit apartment complex.
