    Without prior approval for the works and quote it might be hard to get reimbursed especially if it’s not for common property benefit – trust me I’m finding out just how pedantic committees can be in this regard. And trying to take action after doesn’t get far. But on the other side, after 12 months of being in place the owner would be most likely to defend any direction to restore the original lock sets. If they were deemed that offensive your committee should have jumped on them quicker. Ideally, and if the locks were serviceable, the way forward for the owner would be to have someone pay a locksmith to change the key/barrels to prevent former occupants strolling in with the same old key.
