Not too bad Neil. Didnt get anything done on the truck today. But had a good reason. Had to go buy a new set of locks for the house. Broke a key off in one of the locks and just replaced all of the locks for the front and back doors. They were all several years old.

Would have removed it myself Rick. But went to take the deadbolt off the door but it fell apart. So easier to just replace the lock set. And figured might as well make it easy and replaced the front door locks as well.

Replaced an old set from kwikset Rick. The locks were original to the back door. Add to that the doors were not keyed the same.
