Here's a guide- you can "re-key" the lock without entirely replacing it https://www.familyhandyman.com/home-security/how-to-rekey-a-door-lock/view-all Good luck!!
In your planning, think about double-bolt locks plus any regular locks you want. If the doors are to be at all secure, all of them need sturdy locks. And every window needs a lock, too. You should be able to do the job yourself if you use the proper tools. And locks can be painted or stained. Very best wishes for you and your 100-year house. 😇
