We have had locks returned to us, but we use them for other things and don't re-issue them to tenants0 -

We sell the lock (circular) and keys to the customer . . . theirs to keep. If they return the lock and at least two keys we keep them and recirculate them when possible.0

We give a new cylinder lock with 3 keys at move in as part of the deposit. Upon move out if the required 2 week notice was given, unit is in good condition and empty and swept out AND lock with 3 keys are returned, we return the security deposit. This is explained very clearly during the move in lease signing process. That is the only way we reuse the locks. I keep the single and double key locks for misc. uses (someone left their unit unsecured...I'll lock it with one of my locks and get a hold of them so that they can get their lock back in, I'll swap it out but just wanted their unit secured in the meantime, or if they lost it, I'll put a new one in with 3 keys and charge them). We also do not keep any keys.0
