Are you able to rekey the "master"/top cylinder as well? Also, can you rekey the bottom cylinder if you only have the "master"/top cylinder key?

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.

Has been a while since I worked with this. Believe you can re-key any cylinder you have a key to. Home Depot has this system now -- may be fastest to go by and talk to someone there.

You can re-key the master cylinder. If you only have the master key and no key to the bottom cylinder you will need the reset cradle to re-key the bottom cylinder.

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

I don't see any reason why you could not. I personally had mine rekeyed to match to the other locks on my house. The key cylinder is a standard pin and tumbler. I had Lowes re key mine.

I bought a set that was keyed alike. A locksmith can rekey them, but much less expensive to buy factory-made. Their descriptions were capricious as I remember so, sorry, I'm no help to you.

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.

Yes. You need the current key to be able to re-key the lock so as long as you have that and the smartkey tool you can re-key the lock.

To the best of my knowledge you cannot change the combination.Also, both the key and combination are needed - the key is NOT an override. I use the key first, then enter the combination. Lynn K.

You use the Re-Keying kit to reconfigure the lock to accept the new key. This system is complete crap. The lock has a tendency to get out of whack by itself and then you're locked out.

Yes you can change the combo and re-key the lock. There are no instructions on how to change the combo but it is possible. After some trial and error I was able to set mine to the combo I desired.

Just switch it from your old key if you have it. I did and it worked perfect. Take the buttons as well. If not you would probably have to get a new one through the dealer if its lost.

if you have two current working keys you can program the key yourself. if you only have one key right now a dealer or locksmith will have to perform the programming. thanks!!

Not sure which keyway number it is. It is a Schlage keyway. I purchased a kit to rekey Schlage keyways at the same time I purchased the cylinder and rekeyed the cylinder to work with my front door key with no trouble. My key just has "C" on it. No other letters or numbers.

Hi RK, I just bought and installed these and the keys worked for both the handle and the cylinder lock.

Yes, you can. You should be able to replace the key head and screw the key into the shell
1330262
Yes, both sides are keyed alike, uses the same key to open. Also, cylinder can be rekeyed to match your existing Schlage lock by a locksmith or if you have the pins.

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.
