If you go to a locksmith you can have this done. I did the same thing with my existing key.

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. ;-)

I keyed my new lock to my house keys by exchanging the complete tumbler. I used the tumbler from the lock I replaced with my new keypad lock. I'm sure a locksmith could exchange the pins in the tumbler to accomidate your house key as well. Schlage is a very high quality lock that is designed to be keyed to other similar locks.

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.

There is a small pin whole on the lock. 1. Set the lock to the correct combo 2. put a pin in the pin whole and hold it there (do not remove the pin for the duration of the process. 3. Set the new code 4. Release the pin. Be careful not to release the Pin early, I did this once and ended up having to send the lock back to the factory so it could be reset.

The combination should be 0005 I had to look back online at an earlier lock and the 0005 worked for me or is it 00005... should do it...someone else asked me last year and it worked for them...Dave

You need different kits for different manufacturers. The keys for different manufacturers are shaped different. This pins might work in a kwilset or other but the provided keys wouldn'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.

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.

yes it can be unfortunately easy to technically rekeyit to a key you don't possess. Actually what can happen is if the key is not fully inserted or slides out turning the turn operation of rekeying: the pins can get to set to a position only achievable when the key is again in that intermediate position. This can make it very difficult if not nearly impossible to reenter rekeying. You cannot rekey without the current key (without getting all the pins in the current unlock position). But yes it works really well and very easily when done properly and carefully.

This lock is the same size as a standard pin set up. It does lock and unlock with the keys. Hopes this helps...

The sizes of the pins provided with this kit are specific to the supplied key if you want to use your own key you would need to figure out the correct pin sizes for your own key. A locksmith can do it no problem since they have full sets of pins and can match them up to your key. It is very easy to change all your locks to the new key from the kit though and this kit can do a few locks. good luck

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.

To a professional lock smith only. You can not get keys made that way most places due to the fact that every lock manufacture has their own pin number to size of pin

You need the original key to reprogram it. You need a key for the lock before you can change it to another key. Odds of someone having the same "KEY" is highly unlikely.

Hi There,We don't advise that you try and change the combination as it is tricky and more often than not the change does not work properly. Your best bet might be to use a local locksmith. You can however change the combination yourself with a change key that we have at our factory. If you wish, we could send out the key to you at no cost but your warranty on the lock will be void.Sincerely, Blue Dot Safes

I had this deadbolt rekeyed to match the Schlage locks on our house. These were not keypad entry locks, so unfortunately I don't know if it can be rekeyed specifically for that particular type of lock. However, I would assume that as long as the key styles match, this should be possible.

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.

Yes. You can change the code once the box is unlocked by sliding the pins over on the back of the key pad. http://www.davstarsecurity.com/keysafe-code-setting-instructions.htm
