Its a Spark brand lock with Schlage C-type wards, yes.  Good point
about having two keys, but I'd have to get a master key pin set and
they seem to cost more than replacing a few dozen other keys.  If
someone has one I'll have a look.

This also doesn't address the problem of the bolt hardware not fully
engaging the striker, and fixing that may require doing things that
necessitate a new lock anyway.  The lock itself is also very badly
worn to the point where opening it requires just a few rakes with a
pick.  Having redone the other Spark locks upstairs, I've developed
the opinion that they're about average in terms of drill resistance
but I could get something with much better reliability and durability
for the price of a few pizzas.
