Can this lock be rekeyed so I can use my existing key from the deadbolt I am about to remove from my door?

yes.... some home depots will do it.. otherwise.. go to your local lock guy.. it is a breeze especially if you have your key code to help... I had all 3 of my entry locks keyed alike..

Yes, it has a standard cylinder that can be rekeyed. However, it didn't come with any extra lower lock pins. I tried to be 'smart' and just replace the new cylinder with my old deadbolt cylinder but a slight variation would not allow the motor to run properly. The reason for wanting to change cylinders was to keep the same key type (different slot orientation to my old one and other door) and make rekeying easier.

Yes you can you need to keep same end with key, there is a chip embedded in the plastic under the button but the lock/ unlock end can be switched out just make sure the number of buttons is the same and pull the board out and swap em

Not necessarily. You will get a random set of pins and keys that match. If you happen to be lucky, you might get the pins that match they key you have (unlikely). There are much more expensive sets (~$100+) that will allow you to rekey a lock to any particular key.

No. You have to have a chip. Migrating the chip from the old key is a major pain.

Not if it is a standard predrilled door. The inside cover will not fit back on the Kwikset lock. I contacted kwikset tech support about this telling them all they would have to do is shorting the cover and that I would even pay for a special cover but they didn't think we needed to have a deadbolt with there lock. If I could attach a picture I would show you what I did.

You need the original key to reprogram it. You need a key for the lock before you can change it to another key. Odds of someone having the same "KEY" is highly unlikely.

yes it can be unfortunately easy to technically rekeyit to a key you don't possess. Actually what can happen is if the key is not fully inserted or slides out turning the turn operation of rekeying: the pins can get to set to a position only achievable when the key is again in that intermediate position. This can make it very difficult if not nearly impossible to reenter rekeying. You cannot rekey without the current key (without getting all the pins in the current unlock position). But yes it works really well and very easily when done properly and carefully.

Yes. This lock is separate from the door knob, so you can keep or use whichever door knob you prefer.

Take it to a locksmith. The cylinder should be able to be removed. Re-keying a lock is not something the normal DIY guy can handle. But as i remember the setup/installation it should be possible with the right tools.

No, the keys are not interchangeable. I ended up labeling the bottom & top keys. Yes, the keys will remove when the safe is unlocked.

The sizes of the pins provided with this kit are specific to the supplied key if you want to use your own key you would need to figure out the correct pin sizes for your own key. A locksmith can do it no problem since they have full sets of pins and can match them up to your key. It is very easy to change all your locks to the new key from the kit though and this kit can do a few locks. good luck

Don't know my lock is in the center and has an exterior handle to turn and release the door. The dead bolt is key operated from the outside.You may have to drill a hole in your door but I think it might work. It's probably not going to fit naturally.

Yes. I'm not sure if it must be a Schlage key, but yes it can. I re-keyed mine to an existing lock.

They are keyed differently. According to the seller, "We do not provide the option of making them keyed alike". Most deadbolts are keyed differently unless they are sold as a set. A locksmith should be able to rekey them for you so that they are all the same, or you could search for Kwikset SmartKey locks, which can be easily rekeyed by nonprofessionals.

You would have to remove the deadbolt from your door to use this product because it will cover the deadbolt hole. However, from a security standpoint I would not recommend using this product to replace a deadbolt lock.

yes, a locksmith can make a key. The key code can be translated and a key originated.

Not too sure. However I would contact the manufacturer directly. ..they may be able to help you. Or maybe replace the lock and you will receive a new key with the new lock.
