Does this change the key on the locks?

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. It enables you to change with any kinsey key. You must have the original key in order to reprogram another key

same keys but the key cylinder from the old one has to be used on the new one. the locks are the same , but the key cylinders are different .

Yes. I had Lowe's due this for me. The only requirement is that you bring in the working key that came with the lock and the key to which you want them to re-key it to.

Not too sure. However I would contact the manufacturer directly. ..they may be able to help you. Or maybe replace the lock and you will receive a new key with the new lock.

Yes, I had the dealer cut my key. They told me the key works but programming the locks doesent work. I drove it home with the new key in the ignition and the door locks worked with the new key.

The code that changes is an electronic code sent to from the keyless entry pad to the opener. The code used to open the door does not change.

Not as far as I know, the first step in rekeying the lock is to insert the old key and turn the key...

Yes, it can be changed numerous times. There is a pin that comes with the lock that you need to insert into the same hole that the end of the lock goes into. It's a hole within a larger hole, if that makes sense. The lock needs to be open of course. But once the pin is inserted, you set it to the combo you want and then remove the pin- which sets the new combo.

I don't think so. One key will open both locks in each set, but not the other set. At least, it shouldn't!

There is a really nice PDF on the Internet that shows how most of the kwikset locks work. You can find it by googling kwikset rekeying you could find it.

It's not unlike having a locksmith change any other conventional lock's tumblers, then re-keying to that new tumbler height - AS LONG AS THE CURRENT LOCK IS A SCHLAGE!! Generally will not work if your lockset is a Qwickset, or any other brand that doesn't use the "Schlage" type key blank. This is a very important point (and, yes, I speak from experience!). Learned that one the hard way. ;-)

No. You must have the original key first to set it, then remove the original key and replace it with the key (another one) of your choice, then turn it back to complete the recoding.

Yes, this lock has Kwikset's Smartkey system so you can easily change its lock to any Kwikset style key.

You have to have the key that currently works in the lock to activate the key-change procedure. Odds are against that, I hope.

I do not like this lock set. You would be better off giving them a key and then change your lock when they're finished. Good luck!

If the new key doesn't fit at all, then you probably got a kit for the wrong brand of lock & key, as they each have their own key design.If the new key fits but doesn't unlock the lock, then you probably made a mistake while changing out the pins.

Yes, unless you hold the latch down until you take the key out and close the door. Once the latch is released, the latch locks. It doesn't matter if the door is in an open or closed position.
