I was told AND read the answer is "YES" ... but with all things in life, I don't 100% believe it until I see it... they ship a special tool to put into the lockface with YOUR keys.. after a few seconds/beeps and it is rekeyed to YOUR keys... BUT, as I have not tried this myself yet, I caution you... make sure you don't need a certain type or special key .....

I think so. The lock mechanism has the rekey hole used in all kwikset locks. I know it can be rekeyed to use other kwikset keys.

I didn't personally do it, but the set came with a tool (small flat key) to rekey the lock

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

Kwikset's SmartKey re-key technology provides you the flexibility to re-key your own locks quickly and easily without removing them from your door. If your housekeys are Kwikset compatible (KW1 or KW10) keys then you can use the SmartKey technology to rekey them. SmartKey products can be re-keyed at the consumer level by following the re-keying instructions, but is not compatible with other brands.

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.

I depends on the type of key you have now. If you have Kwikset keys I believe you can but not just any key will work. But fair warning, the electronics are hit and miss for locking and unlocking and it is extremely frustrating.... good luck

You can always reprogram the key using a shareware and put sticker on the keys to re-label. You can make a AAAAAA keyboard if you wish.

Yes. I did quickset for the rest of the house and was able to use the rekeying function for all locks to use the Baldwin keys. Works the other way round too.

it is a Weiser keyway, however i tried a Kwikset key and the cylinder accepted it, so I would think it could be re keyed to your existing Kwikset key an exception may be the age of your Kwikset locks some of the older locks had different keyways to the present

You can re-key up to six locks with each package. Be aware if you buy two packages, the keys may be different. If you need to re-key more than six locks, get a package specific to your needs.Hope this helps.

You can get them keyed to the same physical key. If you are the DYI type you can order a pin set and the tools required to do it yourself. There are videos on YouTube that show you how. I have plently expericane in this area as I used to rekey locks often. I do not recommend it if you are not good with your hands. Any locksmith can do it for you and it shouldn't cost too much. I say check out the a YouTube video first and then decide if you want to tackle it yourself.

Great Question! This particular lock does not come in a keyed alike configuration and the manufacturer is telling me it cannot be re-keyed. I am sorry.

yes you can just make sure the new key came with a chip or take the old chip from your old key and just ask the lock smith if they have the programmer to , program vehicle

You would need to have a locksmith rekey the lock. It cannot be rekeyed with a master key.

You will need to contact Kwikset for additional master keys. That is how kwikset controls the security for the master key. You can however get the pass keys duplicated at your local lock smith. Hope this helps.

I can't but a good lock smith can. Take in any documentation so that they can determine the key code and then duplicate it. It's a 3 digit code on the back of the key. For future reference, write this down because this will allow the lock smith to quickly get you a new key.

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.

I'm no locksmith, but I believe you could have all your locks re-keyed to use a single 'master' key, if you wanted...sure.

Absolutely. I bought two sets and rekeyed 8 locks. You just have to use the pins pattern from the first six locks and disregard the new patten. Hope this helps!
