I have a few locks in my house that I don't have the key for. Can I still use this kit to rekey those locks?

If you have no keys for them it is probably best that you take them to a professional.

Yes. Carefully remove the clip (cover) that holds the pins and springs in place. Open the cover into a bowl with a pad so the springs and pins don't get away from you when you carefully remove the cover that holds the springs and pins in the tumbler. The keyed pins may get mixed in with the spring pins so segregate for size and shape. with all of the pins removed you can remove the cylinder. Install the pins and springs in the housing with the round tube tool holding them from going into the cylinder location and replace the cover after the springs and pins are in the housing. Follow the instructions on keying the cylinder and install as you push the round tool out of the housing. Yes. Carefully remove the clip (cover) that holds the pins and springs in place.

Not as far as I know, the first step in rekeying the lock is to insert the old key and turn the key...

This set only provides the tumbler pins for the keys that are included in the set. For me it didn't have a few sizes of pins that I needed to match my existing keys, so this set didn't help me. In addition, the tool to remove the actual lock part is way too big and you likely won't be able to pop it out as easily as you see in the YouTube videos on how to rekey locks. I ultimately ordered a more professional set to do my locks.

All depends on how many of the same pins you use. ( as an example if you re key to keys that use a lot of say # 2 pins you will run out of that pin sooner. Also if you reuse pins you could rekey hundreds of locks. But I would say you could easily rekey 50 locks

My lock set came with 2-4 keys. They were in the small white box with hardware and the re-key tool.

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.

Maybe. It really depends on the pins in your existing lock. Look at your Schalge key, printed on the key should be five numbers that indicate which pins are in your lock. This kit may or may not have the correctpins.I purchased this kit -the tools are invaluable- as well as assortment of additional pins, I combined everything and spent less than twenty dollars total. Re-keying instructions are located at the Schlage website.

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

If you lock the safe using the key, you would need the key and combination to open it again. You could lock the safe and not use the key, then you would only need the combination to re-open it.

The key works on all the locks. So you just need one key. They give you 2/lock so if you ever need to replace a lost one, you are all set.

Have no idea, but as the keys are much smaller than the schlage lock keys for our house, I would think no. Only a locksmith could tell you for sure.

This can be rekeyed like any other Schlage lock. But note that the key's rarely necessary unless you just wanted to use it. We know of people who've had these locks for five years and absolutely never used a physical key. Since the lock visually warns of low batt long before it's out, even a dead battery lockout is unlikely.

ALOT...this kit has numerous pins in each size, so depending on your pin combination, you could do dozens of locks. Also, you can re-use the pins from your old key code (if you take the time to sort them out).

The keys seem just like any copy of a key you'd get in a hardware store. They are silver in color, not brass. To determine if your lock is 5 pin just count how many little "U" shapes there are along the length of the key. This kit will allow you rekey a 5 pin lock with a working key, whether that key is an original, a copy, or a rekeyed key.

Yes. I had about 10 locks rekeyed by a locksmith to work with an existing schlage key. My understanding from reading reviews of schlage rekeying kits is that you can do it yourself. I don't plan on doing this again so didn't research which kit is needed. I suggest asking schlage directly. They have contact info on their website and are very responsive.

Most keys cutters copy existing keys. A locksmith could probably make a key to pin nos. when i rekey a lock i start with the new key. I used this set to make all the doors inmy house common to one key.

1.It is possible if you have special key that cant reset and then enter new key.2.Don't buy Schlage lock set - it has big problem - Please research on this3.I returned my lock - the key doesn't work after few months - hard to imagine, right? but true.

Yes, it is a "unique" key. You don't "cut" a new key, you program the lockset to accept a different key. If you have other "Kwikset" keys laying around, you can use those. Very neat lockset.
