I wanted to replace the locks for my new home. I went and bought 3 lock sets. All of the them are with same key numbers. While this is convenient for carrying only one key for all the three doors, how sae is it? Any one else can buy the same set of locks and use the keys to break into my house. How does this work in USA?

I honestly would say this isn’t the safest idea. There could be more people that live near your home that have the exact same lock as you and they could break in at any given time they wanted. I suggest you try a different lock set and ask around to see if every lock there has the exact same key or combo.
If a thief is skilled, it will not matter that all are keyed the same, only need to open one. Much easier to just break a window. Don’t worry, use the locks.
How far away is the store from your house? How many people shop there for locks every day? In other words, wouldn’t it be a tremendous coincidence if a burglar, who probably does not even have a home to install locks on, happened to have purchased locks from the same lot you did? Quit watching so many conspiracy movies and instead enjoy life.
