Hi, Can the cylinder be changed? I Have a Kaba eXpert restricted key system and want to incorporate the lock.

The cylinder portion of the Kevo is not interchangeable with other manufacturers products.

Unfortunately, no. I removed the cylinder hoping to re-key it to a Schlage keyway, but the Kevo uses the Kwikset Smartkey technology which is a slightly larger diameter cylinder (and does not have the vertical section housing the pins) than standard Kwikset, Schalge or other common household locks. This was my most disappointing discovery about this lock.

not sure if you can, but you can check with a locksmith and they might can just re key the mechanical lock

same keys but the key cylinder from the old one has to be used on the new one. the locks are the same , but the key cylinders are different .

The key lock is no include, you need change the key lock cilinder with a professional.

Yes, although the code was preset and if you accidentally move the cylinders in the locks, you would have to either reset them to the position, which would require being able to see what it was set on. I would really suggest another briefcase that do not have cylinder locks.

If you want to keep the same keys, you certainly can do that, Another version of this part is available and it is Strattec 703602, I will post a link below, Strattec 703602 is a rebuild kit that comes with all new tumblers and passlock. This is much more involved and requires some knowledge of matching the new tumbler setup to your old setup but it is certainly doable. APDTY 035813 is completely assembled and much easier for a do-it-yourselfer as you just remove and replace the whole lock cylinder, you just have to keep that other key for the door/trunk locks. APDTY is releasing a version with all new door locks also, but that requires replacing all the lock cylinders so you can use the new keys.

You have to have the key that currently works in the lock to activate the key-change procedure. Odds are against that, I hope.

You can take an existing key and make it work on the KEVO just like you can do it on any Kwickset lock.

If your current lock is a Kwikset SmartKey design then the answer is yes, because this is also a SmartKey. Otherwise the answer is probably no.

No, they will all be different. I know you can key alike padlocks and door locks, but I'm not sure if you took them to a lock smith if the tumbler mechanism could be changed.

If you can still open the box, take it to a lock & key place. They should be able to redo the lock and make you a new key! Best of luck!

I doubt there is a universal key available, or there'd be a lot of trailer theft going on. I looked at the pic on the Reese website and it doesn't appear that the lock is numbered, so a locksmith would have nothing to go on (I think). So, if it was me, I'd be contacting www.reeseprod.com If there is a serial no. on your lock, or some identifying order no. they may be able to tell you the key code. Good luck. Bob

If the new key doesn't fit at all, then you probably got a kit for the wrong brand of lock & key, as they each have their own key design.If the new key fits but doesn't unlock the lock, then you probably made a mistake while changing out the pins.

A locksmith can probably do that. I think it uses a Schlage style key blank if I recall. I would not attempt it yourself.

a piece of standard cylinder lock should fit. You may find it in lowe's or other home stores. one of my customer bought one from Lowes.

The keys that come with this lock are the keys you would use to remove them as well. If that's what you mean by "change key".

Hello Mr. Morris,basically, there are 2 different cylinders in the Kwikset 816. The black cylinder is for the owner and the keys (gold color) has a different profile then the standard kwikset keys. That means, you can't rekey the standard cylinder (silver) with the "golden owner key".But you can replace the black cylinder against a standard kwikset cylinder in few minutes if you want.Best regardsAJ
