Searching for locksmith for old locks

From an email:

Do you know of a local locksmith who is sympathetic to those of us who want to keep our old, original locks? I need work done to and a key for an exterior handle/lockset.

I checked in at Citywide and the fellow there just basically said "get a new one". So he didn't get it. I was wondering if anyone had a positive experience with
someone close by.
Anyone have the answer to that question?

I do know that if you are looking for old locksets that use skeleton keys, Sherry at Yesterdaze sells them. Tampa Bay Hardware has skeleton key blanks, to make more keys from.
