-Are they part of the aesthetic of the old home?
-Are they safe?
-Do they fit the needs of what I need currently?
-Between replacing and repairing, which is in my budget?
-Do I want to save some but replace/repair others?
-Can I function with an older locking system?
-Can the older locks be partially updated?
