I'm trying to correct an oversight on our build.  We have several interior doors that have keyed locks.  I did not buy a master keyed set of locks for them.  In the USA it's easy to take your locks to a locksmith and have them re-keyed to a particular key.

 

Instead of the locksmith option I ordered an inexpensive 3rd party kit that included the instructions and components that allowed me to do it at home.  The first lock conversion took 30 minutes but subsequent locks only 5.

 

Has anyone used a capable locksmith in the Chiang Mai area?

I really doubt that a similar re-keying kit exists here so I won't waste any effort pursuing one.

 

Bonus point question:

Google translates locksmith to ช่างทำกุญแจ.  Is that accurate?

Turning circle in front of old cm stadium SE corner.  I took the locks to him.

ช่างทำกุญแจ (chang-tam-goonjae)......yep, that's locksmith.  Literally, it means artisan/maker who makes locks (กุญแจ also means keys).

Perhaps one of the most skilled locksmiths in Chiang Mai can be found in the little shop tucked into the corner stores, just west of the turn onto Wualai Rd from the moat.  It's right there at the corner, but it's hard to see it if you drive by. Better to park near by and walk over.
