Only if the other spouse is given keys to said locks.
With two people who are legally married, one cannot lock out or evict the other without going through the court system in some fashion. They must file for legal separation or one spouse has to have broken the law in some way (resulting in, for example, a restraining order or involuntary psychiatric hold). Even if the spouse wanting to lock the other out is the owner of the house and the other is not, it doesn't matter, because they are said to have an "interest" in the property due to the marriage.

Do you have the right to change your apt locks in the state of PA?
If you are living in a property owned by another business or person, no. You have to contact the property owner and have them change the locks (or provide you with the new locks so you can change them). If you are the property owner and there is a person renting you can only change the locks after you've notified the renter about the change in writing. If you have evicted the renter and they refuse to leave/turn in keys or there is no renter then you can change the locks at will.
