I was just in Lowes on Saturday night to buy a lockset for my new workshop door. I wanted a Schlage brand lockset to match keys with the current house doorlocks. I had them match the house key. They charge $5 to rekey a lock - but only if you bought it there and have it in your hand.
They had a letter taped to the table in front of the key/lock service desk area with a notice indicating they will NOT rekey a lock that is brought in after your purchase. If the lockset was not purchased there - they will send you to a locksmith. The notice stated that you must return the lockset purchased there and buy a new one (not sure why that is different) if you need it rekeyed.
