My landlord tossed all the hardened steel inserts because he didn't drill the hole big enough to fit it. All the locks just have the thin piece of decorative tin on the outside.

I haven't seen it. I made a few different gifs and stickers showing classic acts of things that miss. From sticker to gif is a hundred or so similar drawings. Thank God for ibispaintx and their seemingly unlimited number of layers. I wouldn't have been able to do it with sketchbook

That makes sense.

Some locks can be rekeyed at home without a locksmith. I had one, I was able to key it so it matches another lock in the house. Any idea how that would have worked? I definitely wasn’t pulling out the barrel.

I'm pretty sure they switched to the Skyrim version because.... Bethesda's direction has been to steadily remove mechanics and simplify the ones that are left over. The new one - even if you find it more difficult - aligns with that goal: simpler mechanics

I feel like you are overestimating the variety of keyways. Like 90% of door locks in America either use the Schlage SC1 keyway or the Kwikset KW1 keyway.
