I've a 5yr old 909 and just bought this. It works, but PINs I set do not work. Kwikset says it is not compatible with my vintage lock. Any ideas?

It worked great from the Kwikset 909 I got from Home Depot. The date from the box was 4/16/13. It was a newer model I think. It should work with your five year old lock in my option. If not you might have to go to Home Depot and get one for $88. I hope this helps. Rock on. PK

I have no problem with mine. How old is yours? Did you make sure you didn't break the pin ?

Assuming the lock is working, perhaps your combo was not lined up properly when you set it missing one or more of the numbers by 1. If so, you will have some work ahead of you. If memory serves, it would be ~26 combos to try 3x3x3 -(1). If your combo was 555, the. You would try 455, 655, 545, 645, 545, etc. I would also call Master Lock to see what they say or just get new locks.

Instruction said to set it to 0000. Then use a paper clip to turn the pin at the end of the lock 90 degrees to the right. Then put in desired code. Then turn the pin back to the left 90 degrees.

There is a pin on the shaft, but if you have the knobs switched, the one on the outside does not reach the hole in the knob. If you look at the two knobs, you'll see that one has a longer shaft than the other. The one with the longer shaft must go on the outside. The pin is on the right side of the lock shaft and fits into a hole on the knob shaft.

I had somethinglike it. I changed the mounting holes, as there are several options. It pushed the pins further out the front, but I was able to dial in and I LOVE IT. Once I got the forty set the other were with in as well. I tweek it before shots if I need to, but that is rare.

That person may have a defective one. Mine works just great and the pin definitely rolls independently of the handles. I highly recommend it!

You need different kits for different manufacturers. The keys for different manufacturers are shaped different. This pins might work in a kwilset or other but the provided keys wouldn't.

Mine work fine try 000 to see if you can reset it back to the numbers you want if not you will need a combination lock.

I just used this kit on my Defiant locks. The instructions for disassembly did not apply to my locks at all but I was able to find a youtube video for that part. The pins worked fine. Unlock/lock is smooth.

I had no issues with mine. I did have to wiggle it a little to get the pin in but nothing major.

Great. No problem. I had the exact same lockset in brass and the thumb latch was an ongoing problem.

You have to put a pin in the bottom hole on the combo lock while it is unlocked. While the pin is pushed in change it to the code you want it to be. When you remove the pin it will be set to that code. I suggest using a paper clip, you just have to straighten it out and you're all set. The code should be set to "000" when you first try to use it straight out of the box.

Have not used this kit specifically on a Defiant lock, but I don't see any reason why it will not work. The only potential problem I see is the supplied disassembly instructions are specific for Kwikset locks and may need to be slightly altered for Defiant locks.

No it won't, your pin needs to be at least 3". When I got mine and realized it didn't fit either of my pins I went to target and got a regular old fashioned one for about $8. They fit it and they work really well.

You are going to have to look at the manual. I set mine when I received it and it has not changed. There is a way to lock it, but mine is not locked and I have lost my manual. You might have to contact the company to get a new manual.....Deb
