I wouldn't pay too much attention to inspectors. Sounds like the roof is fairly new and should last 20 years. You can waste alot of money on a house and not get it back.
Side note...went and bought locks/deadbolts for the 3 entry ways last night.
Never thought owning a home would send you to the poorhouse!
$294 bone for front/back/garage locks & deadbolts!
Still gotta drop about $350 more for matching interior door levers/locks.
You could have rekeyed those locks (if they were all the same kind of key). It's super easy. Just need to have a place that cuts keys cut you new keys to a code you provide. And I think there are places online that will do that now.
Keying locks is a significant part of my job. My house had six locks on it when we moved in and I was handed six keys for my house at closing. Five of the six were the same kind of lock, so I bought one new lock and rekeyed to rest to match.
I went with E-Locks on the exterior doors several years ago and don't miss carrying keys at all. Every six months, I reprogram the locks with new codes to keep the key pads from showing any type of wear pattern. The batteries last about three years before giving warning beeps for low voltage. I did not get wifi enabled locks, don't need any hackers trying to defeat the locks.
