Does the key blank remove out of the cam (flippy part mechanism) easily? Both of my keyblades broke off the metal flippy part and I need new cams...

Yes, it takes a little time but I changed both of min in a few minutes. Just pay attention while you are taking it apart, there is a spring. It does go back together fairly easy though.

I have owned one of these for a while. For future reference sometimes the cam gets stuck. If you are past the 30 days and your quits give it a little whack or two just below the cutting head and that normally gets it running. It works fine with any AAA battery I have had to replace the original. It is cheaply made, but works really well.

I don't have the key with me so I can't check (it's for my wife's car), but I don't think it comes apart. This is not a remote entry key, i.e., no battery inside to change. Rather, it is a blank key that is supposed to contain a necessary chip that is read by the car and that needs to be programmed. I had the key cut by a local shop and it works fine without having been programmed.

"Re-keyable zinc plated cam lock with zinc die cast cylinder" is what is stated in the description. So call a locksmith with this information and they should be able to tell you what you can do.

When I bought the one shown, the metal key shaft is connected to the plastic case & won't come apart easily or at all. The key shaft is smooth & would have to be laser cut for $100 at dealer. The original Honda key seemed to disassemble into multiple parts but this knock-off doesn't. I just did the best I could with epoxy & returned that new casing.

the blade on the new unit is integrated within the case(actually it was also on your original key before braking), so if you want to remove the blade it would damage. Sometimes only the back of the key is damage in which case you may probably change only the back to your old key

Does it still clip? I haven't encountered that problem.Maybe take a picture and send it to Eddie Bauer and see if they can send you a new part.

I only have one key left and the piece covering the lock button is missing so the chip is exposed, it constantly opens and locks when I hit the button. It looks like I can order a replacement cover for that key, and I want to order an extra key because my other set of keys was stolen. Am I an the right track?

Yes, the keybord is easily removed and replaced. The case is fully functional with or withiut the keybord. It is slightly bulkier with the keybord, so I use when I have more text to enter.

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.

I have one of these switches in service. They certainly were sourced from China,would be my guess. As far as duplicate keys, I would suggest you find a lock shop, as the key is a really different type than any I've ever seen. Wallyworld, and the common 'big box stores' would not likely have this (weird) key blank. A shop devoted to locksmithing would be the best bet on sourcing a key(s). This key blank is very uncommon as you've probably found. There exists absolutely no 'brand' markings at all, just "7306" (on my key) which would be the cut code. It is also a double cut key, as you can see. A real 'brand X'. Even the head of the key is a PITA. I had to drill out the silly narrrow slot to get it on my key ring. I wish you luck!

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!

Nestor, Mine broke at the same location. I used a scrapper with a razor blade, just inserted it underthe existing base (gently) then pried the base off, leaving the black backing. Then put new one on.Seems to work pretty well.

I took a small Jewlers flat head screw driver and slid the "shaft" over to the side and it pops right out. Sorry, i can't remember which side it was that i did it from(right or left). it is very easy so don't do anything that is too hard because it shouldn't hard and you'll wind up breaking something. then on the side of the part of the batt grip that goes up into the camera there is a place to store the lid... hope that helps

Once you get the set-screw and locking nut adjusted properly, the cam lock works perfectly. It is all in the set-up. I now have 2 of these, I think they are just great. Your mileage may vary.

lol, your better off than me. I lost my key. But it seems to me I had the same problem, and it turned out to be I just had the have the open and close handle in a certain position for the key to work. Play with that sequence and hope it helps.
