Has anybody tried to swap out the inside knob for a second keyed tumbler? I need a lock that has keys on both sides.

Not exactly sure that you are trying to accomplish.. but I doubt that you could make the thumbscrew knob into a keyed based on what I know of how it is constructed and how it works. If your concern is someone breaking a window and then using the thumbscrew to unlock the bolt it might be useful to know that it does have a built in alarm system that you can set to alarm to forced entry, tampering etc. Hope that helps.

I would reuse the old one. I found one at D&B; to use. It also doesn't come with a keyway but I found one for .27 cents at D&B; as well.

Keys are not blank They are precut and tumblers matches new key. I changed tumblers so my old keys would work. Instructions for this included.

every key will have an imprinted/stamped number on it. this indicates the tumbler/lock it goes with. If you lose your keys and know your number you can get a replacement.

I'm sure you can because I had the single cylinder as well and wanted to have the door knob w/ lock feature. So I switched to this one. And even it doesn't fit Amazon great at replacing and accepting returns. Go for it :-)

Yes, you can rekey the top "master" cylinder just as any other smartkey lock. You will not be able to rekey the bottom cylinder with the master key from the top. You will need the current key for the bottom lock in order to turn the key quarter way to release the tumblers. if for some reason you do not have the key for the bottom, you can use the Kwikset 83260 SmartKey Reset Cradle (purchased separately) to rekey. This will require removing the deadbolt and disassembling. I recommend keeping a copy of the bottom cylinder for yourself.

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

Hi There,We don't advise that you try and change the combination as it is tricky and more often than not the change does not work properly. Your best bet might be to use a local locksmith. You can however change the combination yourself with a change key that we have at our factory. If you wish, we could send out the key to you at no cost but your warranty on the lock will be void.Sincerely, Blue Dot Safes

I had the same problem trying to find the correct barrel lock key, and I too paid for the same Jonard TTB-6 steel barrel lock key ($49.00 on Amazon) and it did NOT fit, I contacted the company whom made that key , and it is the only size their selling, but I do have the correct key that will work,eveyone try to tell you it work, but it do not. however it depend how old is the lock. I got both keys( the new lock and the old lock) but I have to pay $1,000.00 for each key

I did something similar, but to make sure I just ordered the two lock with the same key mold. Also you may contact the seller and he can help you get the same item to open with the same key. Additional keys can be obtained at a local locksmith or key duplicate center.Hope this can help you.

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

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 regards AJ

It will be hard to remove the inside knob as it was very hard to put in. I would prefer to get the lock with the handle instead of the round knob.

The original came with two keys. If you have lost both of them did you register them when you bought the lock? If you registered just login to the Kensington website and reorder your replacement keys. If you did not register like you were suppose to than you might want to call them and explain your situation. The problem might not be able to be solved if you did not register you keys as they have a special number just for your lock. Good luck!

Hello. They are not keyed alike. They use a standard Kwikset tumbler and can be rekeyed by any locksmith.

It locks from the inside I don't know if you can have them keyed alike....most likely you can

Mine automatically re-locks ... I do not move the inside lock ever because it is simpler to simply press in the code To unlock rather than forget to re-lock ... hope that helps
