How difficult is this lock to re-key? I am considering purchasing two of them. If I do I would like the both locks to use the same keys?

I don't know about rekeying. A lock smith can do it, however, I think I've see that Amazon does offer a 2 latch set and both are keyed the same

You generally can't rekey these or if you have locksmith do it the cost is more than a new cylinder. Contact the manufacturer and purchase new cylinders and the cylinder removal key from them.

I don't know. The reason I had to buy this lockset was because our key broke off in the lock and it's not replaceable. The RV repair place wanted $250 to replace the assembly, told them sorry I wasn't ignorant.

I ordered two and they were keyed the same. Carry one key with me and remainder is locked up in safe.

I only bought one I really couldn't tell you if they would have the same key but they are great locks for sure I've had it for about a year and it still works like te first day.

Hi, I had the same issue. I followed the instructions, set it to 000 and was never able to properly set the combination. Now I have a useless lock.

They are always different, or I could buy one for the key and open all doors with that lock.You would have to contact the company for getting all the same or talk to a locksmith beforehand because some are not rekeyable.

According to another question that was answered, they pull the product from their warehouse with no other consideration for matching a key code. However, a good locksmith can probably re-key one or both of your locks so that you would be able to use just one key.

I wished I had better news from you. I do not know about a universal key. However, and ironically, I have just had a third set of keys made of two separate locks including the trailer lock to guard against the exact same thing that happened to you. You may have to call out a locksmith but if you do have him make several sets of keys. Sorry for your trouble.

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.

No - it is not normal. Hopefully that is not a problem, usually if you ordered two they would have different locks/keys.

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.

Lock comes with two keys, but the keys cannot be duplicated so you're stuck with only two. Good luck!

As far as I know, no. Unless you have a copy of the original key. To be able to re-key the lock, you have to be able to insert and turn the key, and only the original (or copy of it) would be able to do that...(unless of course you have some kind of thieves tools...)

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

Yes the key code can be changed easily but you have to change the tumbler pins to do this. I did this myself for the same reason, but any locksmith can do this. I ordered a rekeying kit online and was able to do it correctly the first time. It was not difficult, you just need to follow the instructions.

I've just spent two days with Kwikset "tech support" and they are clueless on how to reverse the lock operation for yours and my situation. I'm positive it can be done but they couldn't tell me how. Ended up buying the Schlage lockset Schlage FE595 CAM 619 ACC Camelot Keypad Entry with Flex-Lock and Accent Levers, Satin Nickel Best decision ever!

Hey Ginancas, You would not be able to order this lock with the same key set as another you may order or own, but a locksmith will be able to key these locks with others you may have. Hope this helps.

Not from Amazon that I have seen. Check the Master Lock web site. I bought both from Amazon and just deal with 2 keys....
