Are the keys made of steel? How do I tell if my key is a 5 pin? If the locks have already been re-keyed before can I still use this kit?

I'm no locksmith. I think the keys are brass, certainly not steel. Count the little humps or points on the key to determine how many pins are in the lock. Yes you can rekey a lock that has been rekeyed before. It is easier if you have a functioning key for the lock, the follow the instructions. There are Utube demonstrations on how to rekey a lock that may help you. Google it.

The keys seem just like any copy of a key you'd get in a hardware store. They are silver in color, not brass. To determine if your lock is 5 pin just count how many little "U" shapes there are along the length of the key. This kit will allow you rekey a 5 pin lock with a working key, whether that key is an original, a copy, or a rekeyed key.

Not sure what metal the keys are made of. The look like typical metal keys. Is your lock a Schlage? My experience is that the vast majority of Schlage residential locks in this country are 5-pin. You can also count the number of "valleys" in your existing key to find out how many pins your lock has. You can use this kit if your lock has been re-keyed.

I'm not sure about the specific model you mentioned, but the locksmith was great at rekeying our Schlage deadbolts and door locks (including a keypad entry) so they all use the same key. And reading the reviews I say that someone had rekeyed them before they were installed -- made a lot of sense, so we did too! Saved us the cost of a locksmith coming out. Just dropped off the locks after we received them and the locksmith rekeyed them in an hour. We had them installed and have never had a problem. Love them!!!

I ordered 2 kits and each had a different numbered precut keys. Very simple to rekey, hope this helps.

Great Question! This particular lock does not come in a keyed alike configuration and the manufacturer is telling me it cannot be re-keyed. I am sorry.

I'll echo what the other posters have said, and suggest you pick up a second kit from PrimeLine for the seventh lock. You'll then have the parts to re-key another five locks to either set's keys, in the future. One caveat about taking locks to Lowes or Home Depot for re-keying. The policy of both stores is that they ONLY re-key locks that you have purchased from them. This is because they want to be able to replace the lock if one of their employees messes it up while trying to re-key.

They have a different code on the keys that I received and the locks have no code on them. Not sure what CH751 is.

It comes with about 30 pins (6 locks x 5 pins/lock). Each pin size comes in a different colour. If you are looking for specific sizes, this is not the kit you are looking for. This is a simple and easy-to-use kit. You release the lock, drop the old pins, insert one of the keys that come in the kit, insert pins flush, set the lock, and you are done!

You can get them keyed to the same physical key. If you are the DYI type you can order a pin set and the tools required to do it yourself. There are videos on YouTube that show you how. I have plently expericane in this area as I used to rekey locks often. I do not recommend it if you are not good with your hands. Any locksmith can do it for you and it shouldn't cost too much. I say check out the a YouTube video first and then decide if you want to tackle it yourself.

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

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.

Hello. They are not keyed alike. They use a standard Kwikset tumbler and can be rekeyed by any locksmith.

Most likely not, because the pins supplied work specifically for the provided key. You can buy a set of pins from Amazon for your brand of lock for $10-15 more, which will allow you to re-pin more cylinders than this kit. Sometimes your local locksmith will sell or give you the pins. If you live in Vegas, (Liberty Lock & Key, now Stanley Security Solutions) will not--and you probably won't choose Stanley for keys, locks or a safe.

It's doubtful the seller would re-key five locks, at least without charge. Your best bet would be to purchase them and then take them all to a locksmith for re-keying.

I only purchased one kit. If you have any old keys that will fit Kwikset brand, you can rekey to any key. I have about 20 old keys here and can rekey to any of them. Good luck.

These are very good locks I have bought 3 and I would buy them again make sure you have the correct length and do not remove the key until it is jnstalled. I lost the tumbler sequence by doing so Hope this helps.

no way to tell ,I think they have eight different keys that they use . I bought a kwik set rekeying kit because I have to re-key apartments all the time . I didn't like the pins that come with this set they were not very smooth . check out you tube videos kwick set lock replacement . It was costing us 65 bucks a shot to have the lock smith come and re-key our locks , now I do it and they have given me a bonus for saving them so much money . you can buy extra kwick set keys too . good luck !

No. They're each key specific. But find a professional locksmith. Not home depot and ask them. But I'd just get another one. Less headache.
