No need for a locksmith. You can buy the barrels in any ferreteria and easily fitted. Or just move ones from grills to doors etc.

Hi blackvelvet, I used Hacketts locksmiths when I moved on 2 years ago and found them very professional and at a reasonable price

have to agree with Glynn bought barrels from ferreteria very cheap compared to the u.k.,, and very quick and easy to change.

I agree too. It's really easy to change barrels, save the locksmiths for other new locks if need be. Sometimes it's good to have an extra lock on the outside of the front doors, even with a grill. We have extra indoor front door locks as thumbscrews top & bottom for night times so as not to need lots of keys to get out in an emergency.
Luckily my husband put our extra locks on, but even I could have easily changed the barrels.

Oh it's lobley to hear from everyone and thanks for all the hints on locks
Sounds like a good idea to do ourselves.
Speak soon

Oh by the way good luck to cornishbug
for the 26th will think about you
It will be October before we get our house keys.
Hope you will have settled in by then.
