Keyed Alike?

At first, I thought all the doors were keyed alike. I don’t remember why but I must have tried more than one set on a door and they worked. I had not asked for keying alike but it made sense sending all five of the doors to the same address etc. But then I picked up a set of keys that did not work on the front door. Hmmm.
I asked Alpen about getting the locks keyed alike and they said that a locksmith would have to change the tumblers if we wanted them all the same. Should have asked for keying alike upfront I guess. But yesterday, when we were getting ready to leave for a trip, we tried the sets of keys on all the doors and found that some of them ARE keyed alike!

The front door and the master bedroom door and one of the french doors share the same key, the back door and one of the french doors share the same key, and I have one door left and one set of keys that don’t work on it! Nor do they work on any of the other doors of course. So we are a bit confused. Must be another mistake! So Alpen will probably not be pleased to hear it either.
