What does KW1 keyway mean? Does this mean you can set all your locks to use the same key?

That means its a Kwikset key blank used. So if you were to ever get a duplicate key made they would use a KW1 blank for it. Also you can have them rekeyed (the locks) at most hardware stores, but most likely they will come different.

Yes. Within one package there are two locks that both open to the same key. You get two sets of keys as I recall. The key code is printed on the back of the package so if you are buying more than one set that will tell if all of them take the same key or the two packages (of two each) take different keys.

One key/wrench/thingy opens them all, but won't work on someone else's set. Also, if you were to buy just the skewers, then try to add the other locks, later, you wouldn't be able to use just one key.

No. It's coded to one physical key. You can setup multiple codes, but there is only one master code that lets you setup user codes and functions

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.

You can, as long as new keys are available with you. By using same methods from number one lock up to the sevenths lock

First you need a set of pins and some locksmith tools. There are some decent videos on Youtube that can teach you how to change the pins in the cylinder so that they all fit to one key. Though this is NOT a kwikset lock it does use the Kwikset pins and lock design.

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.

Yes you have to lock it every time with key. It will not lock on its own, probably to prevent lockouts.

This lock can be re-keyed to any other Kwikset key. If you have locks from another manufacturer then you are out of luck.

I don't think so because the PIN's they give you are for the keys they provide. If you have the key and all you need is the correct PIN's try searching Amazon for "Kwikset Pins". Once you have a good selection of different size PINs you can put the key in the lock and try different pins until they all sit flush at the top of the barrel. Another option is you can open another similar lock that is takes your key, then figure out which size PINs to put in the lock your trying to fix.

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.

I don't know what an SC1 keyway is but the key is exactly the same as a Schlage key.

A question came to me regarding a request to key 4 locks all the same. I do not know if that is possible from the producer. I wanted to do the same and then decided for security reasons it was better to key each lock separately. I marked my keys and locks 1 through 4 and it is easy to keep them straight.

Yes. More precisely: several locks can be programmed to open using the same key.

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.

Sorry, John, but I really don't know. All my hardware is the high-end Baldwin. I do have two Kwikset gate locks, but the keys for those are completely different than the Baldwin keys. I have no idea whether they are KW1, however. I love the Baldwin keys. They are made of nickel, and are much harder than brass keys. When I re-keyed my house, I took the keys to a good locksmith to have them cut. Much better job than the local hardware, and less than half the price.
