Jonathan,

I've read nothing but positive comments from listmembers who have used
Steve's Lock Shoppe (www.steveslockshop.com) in Texas. In fact, the
door handle from my 930S is going from California to Texas to get a
key made.

You can probably put all those locks and handles in a medium flat rate
box to economize on shipping.
