We bought this house last year, it has 5 doors all with different keys!
Anyhow, I want to change the front entrance set and get 4 new deadbolts all keyed the same, no problem so far.
Problem is the front entry set has a big kind of backing plate, when I removed the old set I found the original owners masked it, so when I put the new set on I'll need to paint the whole door.
What is the process for painting a steel door with existing paint, how do I tell if it's oil or latex on there, and what will it look like applying the new paint with a brush? The existing paint looks like a good job, like maybe sprayed on.
Also, what can I use to fill old holes from the original set that will NOT be covered with the new set?
Thanks
