I lost my key to my deadbolt, can I still rekey my lock without the original key?

It's not recommended. Without the key to keep the lower pins in the barrel, you will have to reset the lower pins and springs. It's definitely do-able but difficult and time consuming.

I don't think its possible, you need the original key to rotate the plug in the barrel and remove it, otherwise, I think the pins in the plug would get jammed up (I could be wrong however, there may be a way to jimmy the plug out of the shell!). I'd strongly suggest watching the video on YouTube (just search on PrimeLine rekey)...the instructional video is awesome and makes for a quick, easy task. Good luck!

The version I purchased has it's own key. There is a model that will allow you to rekey to the vehicle key, but I didn't see the need to pay extra for that.

Re-keying using the SmartKey tool requires the current key, however you can reset the lock cylinder without an existing key using the SmartKey Cylinder Reset Cradle.http://www.amazon.com/Kwikset-83260-SMT-RESET-CRADLE/dp/B00117DVY8

No, you will need P/N 71607696299 & 71607696300 Send us a spare key and we match up the locks to be the same. Thank you

They are always different, or I could buy one for the key and open all doors with that lock.You would have to contact the company for getting all the same or talk to a locksmith beforehand because some are not rekeyable.

I don't know about rekeying. A lock smith can do it, however, I think I've see that Amazon does offer a 2 latch set and both are keyed the same

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.

not sure if you can, but you can check with a locksmith and they might can just re key the mechanical lock

Unfortunately the model that I bought locks and I need to leave the key in so it can be opened without punching in the code. I believe that there is another model which doesn't lock automatically that I wish that I've bought.

I rekeyed it to a Schlage 6 pin key. Not a problem if you know what you're doing or have a locksmith.

If you have the code you do not need the keys. The keys are if the battery has gone dead. If that has happened I do not know what you do....so sorry!

it is a Weiser keyway, however i tried a Kwikset key and the cylinder accepted it, so I would think it could be re keyed to your existing Kwikset key an exception may be the age of your Kwikset locks some of the older locks had different keyways to the present

No, the deadbolt comes with its own specific 3 digit code from the factory. If you lost it contact master lock

You can, as long as new keys are available with you. By using same methods from number one lock up to the sevenths lock

Take it to a locksmith. The cylinder should be able to be removed. Re-keying a lock is not something the normal DIY guy can handle. But as i remember the setup/installation it should be possible with the right tools.

This can be rekeyed like any other Schlage lock. But note that the key's rarely necessary unless you just wanted to use it. We know of people who've had these locks for five years and absolutely never used a physical key. Since the lock visually warns of low batt long before it's out, even a dead battery lockout is unlikely.

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."
