Couldn't someone who has one of these keys just use it to take wheels off any bike using this system? Or is every key different?

every key is different. i have two sets and the keys do not work across sets.

every key is different. they come with a unique code so that if you do lose your keys, you can request the same set from them

You the user provide a new key if you use the kit a second time. So you would have to get 2 or 3 Kwikset keys, cut the same to rekey the lock the 2nd time. I hope you can understand what I am saying. If I have not made my self clear and I'll try again: )

Not really. I run a cable lock around the right axle of the rear wheel (inside the chain guard). It would be time-consuming for a thief to unbolt the rear wheel and remove the chain. Of course, they could just cut the cable lock regardless, but then the value of the scooter is significantly less than that of a good bicycle.

Yes, it is a "unique" key. You don't "cut" a new key, you program the lockset to accept a different key. If you have other "Kwikset" keys laying around, you can use those. Very neat lockset.

if you want to lock all 3 wheels you'll need two packs obviously. All 3 lock with the same key. Installation is easy, in fact I wouldn't even call it installation - just insert like you would a quick-release skewer and use the key to tighten. FYI the seat lock doesn't fit my seatpost collar, so it was a bit useless - depending on the design of your bike you might encounter the same...

No. Your wheel lock key has a code (check for in owner's manual) to have your key remade. Or go to a tire pro shop, the can hammer on a tight sockek or even weld a bolt onto the lock lug to remove it.

That's what they're for - to replace the quick release skewers. They are highly convenient for us, the quick release - but they are highly convenient for thieves. Just do them and don't look back. Just make sure you keep track of the key!

1 key for the whole set. If you buy them separately ie wheels, seat etc they will have different keys.

yes, they're for permanent use - just make sure you have the key available if you should need to remove a wheel

It's just like any other lock. Weiser, Kwikset or otherwise, take the key that came with the lock into someone who makes keys and they'll match it up with the correct blank and cut a key that will work

It comes with a t10(I think) torx screw driver that is needed to take the cross bars off/or install them. Torx is a somewhat uncommon bit type (looks like a star), making it somewhat thief resistant, if someone really wanted to take them, they could. But they could also remove your wheels and tires if they wanted to go through the trouble.

There is a very small chance that the same key may fit another set of wheel locks. If you can find your registration papers you could contact McGard and order a new key which might be more expensive than buying another set of wheel locks. A reputable tire shop could remove your wheel locks for a charge which is better than being stranded on the side of the road.

They aren't particularly easy to remove, for sure. It's possible you could pull on the metal/plastic tacks that are holding the keys in place in order to remove them, but light pulling doesn't do anything.

Previous 2 responses are correct....on some vehicles, the key is attached to the lug wrench or the spare tire jack....if not on yours, you will have to contact the previous owner / dealer....also, most often these come in sets of 5, so you might ask them where are the other 4.....with the key on another vehicle , perhaps.....Good Luck !

The keyless bypass supplied does not need a key. My suggestion, after installing this, would be to get the RS1-G4. It will save a lot of time and frustration with programming.

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 regardsAJ

Yes each set has its own keys. I bought a few of them, most work with the same key but a few are unique.
