Locksmith recommendations?

[taipeitigers.livejournal.com]

I just realized that I never changed my locks after buying my place (our dear seller, I hope you are not reading this).  I searched old posts, and the posts under "key and lock" were dated in 2011 or earlier.  Are there recent recommendations for locksmiths?  For changing the lock, do I need to buy brand new ones?  Or I have to somehow take it apart and bring it to a hardware store?  Or I should ask a locksmith to come?  What is a reasonable price to change the lock for the front door?

Thanks,

If you have more than one apartment, I've found having a more complex lock setup is well worth the extra money. Having just one key open both the front door and your apartment (and a different key which opens the same front door and your tenant's apartment, but not yours) is a convenience which will stick around for years.
