Can anyone just buy this and use it to change someone elses lock that has a smart key feature

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.

Not unless you have there key. Before setting the lock to the new key you have to use the current working key to put the lock into a certain position.

Yes you can. Just take it out of your old smart key housing and place it in the new one.

Luckily you cant change the combo without a Change Key. If it were possible these locks would not sell very well as they would not be very secure.

yes, but key sold will not. needs to be programed and key sold does not program.

I would imagine calling customer support would be a good start. I think is a bar code or some sort of serial number you can reference that would help them. Although looking at the keys they might be interchangeable look at someone else's lock if they have one like yours and give it a shot.

Hey Ginancas, You would not be able to order this lock with the same key set as another you may order or own, but a locksmith will be able to key these locks with others you may have. Hope this helps.

I understand those can be re-keyed by a locksmith, but to just order a new key, I doubt it. Or if you order a whole new lock the new key probably won't work. If it did, that would mean any robber with a spare key to one of those would be able to get in. That wouldn't be too secure would it? Balance the cost of re-keying with the cost of just buying a whole new lock unit and proceed accordingly.

I was told AND read the answer is "YES" ... but with all things in life, I don't 100% believe it until I see it... they ship a special tool to put into the lockface with YOUR keys.. after a few seconds/beeps and it is rekeyed to YOUR keys... BUT, as I have not tried this myself yet, I caution you... make sure you don't need a certain type or special key .....

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.

The dummy is only for doors with no pre drilled holes like a bi- fold. This is not what you need. You may be better off buying a new smart key lockset if your existing lock is a Kwikset. You can still use your existing keys.

No The case has a key blank shank built in that you will have to get cut to your old key. Some hardware stores can do this. About $12 for me.

I bought one and it's a PIA to install threw it away and bought another brand. There may be different keys like any other lock. you would need to contact the manufacturer for the answer about different. A thief would want to grab it and be gone not tinker around with any kind of lock. Make yours harder to steal than the next guys.

I can't but a good lock smith can. Take in any documentation so that they can determine the key code and then duplicate it. It's a 3 digit code on the back of the key. For future reference, write this down because this will allow the lock smith to quickly get you a new key.

I concur that you have to have it done locally by locksmith after they arrive. I don't think big box (Lowe's, HD) will do it unless you have purchased it there. And even then I believe they will only commit to rekeying with Kwikset's "smart key system."
