This DOOR LOCK Has a SECRET...(Rekey Multiple Doors In Seconds!)
I had a situation where the new house came with an absurd mess of keys for three separate doors and deadbolt combos. It was driving me crazy!
Rather than have a locksmith come out to rekey the doors (which would have been pricey, and some of the locksets were aging anyways), I used a simple solution.
Kwikset produces a variety of knob/deadbolt combos on their SMARTKEY system. These products can be rekeyed in just a few seconds to match a master key!
Keep in mind--KWIKSET IS NOT MY SPONSOR! I simply chose to use their product to solve my problem here.
But, in this short video, I'll show you how easy it was to pair up a two lockset pack with single lockset pack and get everything finally working on the same key!
Thanks!

When we bought our cottage we changed all the lock sets and rekeyed them to match our main residence. One key for both houses.

@SteveStrassburg День назад

As experienced locksmith, with 30+ years experience. The Kwikset Smartkey is a great set, but their failure rate is pretty high. We were called out constantly to get into a house that a customer had a key in their hands, but the lock just quit working. Secret is keep the lubricated with a Teflon lubricant, twice a year, not a dry lube either and graphite is a bad idea, too.

I have Schlage locks. Took the cylinders to Ace Hardware & they rekeyed them for $5 a piece.

In my experience I have installed hardware for decades. We once did not like Kwikset. However, upon having to maintain a residence in three cities, I tried using these at one. Quality level was good and the locks were easy to install. Rekeying was easy after the learning curve on the first installation. I later installed these on the other two locations with the same keys. It was nice only carrying one key. After retiring I sold all of these locations to three different couples. They really loved being able to rekey them without a locksmith. Good video instruction with a good innovative product.

You din't like Kwikset? Then, which brand do you recommend?

@weldo1948 20 часов назад

@@fjp3305 sorry I was not clear. In the 1960s until late 1980s we liked Sargent and Schlage for our commercial work such as in schools and clinics. We felt like Kwikset was a step below. These lock-sets in the video are of a much higher quality and do recommend them.

Does that door knob have a little brass tab, about the size of a flathead screwdriver, between the knob and the door? If so, you can pop off the knob to get a straight shot at the screws with your driver, then pop it back on.

@AnnaAliciaTx День назад

It has been driving me nuts trying to figure out how to get this done. After purchasing a "new" home the previous owners had a gazillion keys for their doors as well except for the entry and door leading to the garage, they had keyless locks requiring a passcode. So thanks to your video I think I can fix them all on my own without having to spend a ridiculous amount of $$ hiring a locksmith. Thanks again! 🤗

@mozismobile День назад

in Australia it was under $100 to have a mobile locksmith come out and rekey the four exterior locks in my new house. I was there by myself and it was easier than removing the locks and visiting a locksmith. The advantage of a locksmith is more options, I have two padlocks and a patio lock also keyed the same by taking the original key to a locksmith. Always keep one "unused" key for this purpose!

Ethan some lock sets you can match up the packaging # which indicates they are keyed alike… Also the more tumblers the lock has the better the lock set …… great video 🇺🇸👊🏼👊🏼✌🏼

@quirkygreece День назад

Dunno why, but I wouldn’t be comfortable with a lock that can be rekeyed from the outside. I get that you need an original to do it, but it just doesn’t feel right to me.

@Muksanim2012 16 часов назад

When we bought our house 43 years ago, I bought Schlage lock sets for all doors at an old fashioned hardware and tool store used by contractors. They had every power tool imaginable. They also offered to rekey them all on site for no additional charge. They are still working fine except for the finish wearing after being coddled these many years. Years later, I bought a deadbolt for the basement door. Schlage had lock sets that the customer could rekey to match a current key. Unfortunately, that store was hurt when Lowes built a super store nearby. The old store rebranded as an Ace store, moved to another location. Lowes and Home Depot hurt a lot of the old stores, aiding in the demise of American made hardware.

@nicoreijns2082 День назад

Looked like almost all Schlage locks he took out. Could've been rekeyed very cheaply by a local hardware store. Or purchase 1 new lock at Home Depot and have the Pro Desk re key them all to the new key. That's what I did.

@deancitroni4447 День назад

Kind of funny I had eight doors I had to do the same way. The homeowner handed us a bag of keys which she had no idea where any of them went. 2 went to safes. All of them had deadbolts and door locks it drove me insane. This is a nice solution,

@gantry289 7 часов назад

Curius as to why you didn't use a double-sided deadbolt on your demo full glass door.

@electricianron_New_Jersey 17 часов назад

I did a few of the Nest/ Yale keyless deadbolts for a good customer and now I have a half dozen of these installs to do from the referrals. I’m not a locksmith but $200 a pop isn’t bad. Great video Nathan!

@canebro1 15 часов назад

Good info on how to change out a lock. Though it seems easier to just buy a 3 pack. Most Lowes and Home Depot will rekey a new lock for you, either free or for a small fee (I think they charged $15 a decade ago). They even repined on of my "dumb" locks for me, taking the lock apart and swapping the pins.

@TheLongestConfidence 12 часов назад

These locks suck. Don't buy them. Setting the pins manually really isn't that hard and doesn't have a failure rate of 50 percent, which from my anecdotal experience these do.

@hansangb 20 часов назад

Huh. I didn't even know they had something like this. Thanks for the tip!

@jennessalynam7682 9 часов назад

That's super cool. I'll have to remember about these types of door locks the next time I need to change mine. Thanks

@josephking6515 День назад

Many years ago when I first started renting I purchased new lock barrels for the external doors and changed the original locks. When I moved rental locations I swapped the locks back to the original and my lock barrels went to my new place. Never liked the idea a previous tenant may have still had access with a duplicate key.

@jamesb5863 День назад

I looked into these when I bought my last house (I needed to rekey like 9 locks). I also looked into rekeying kits where you manually change the tumblers inside the lock. Eventually I ended up taking all the locks off and took them to a local locksmith shop where they rekeyed them all to one new key. That ended up being the cheapest method, I forgot how much each one cost but I’m sure it was somewhere between $5-$10 each and by taking them to the shop it saved me the fee of having the locksmith come to my house.

@My3nMy4 День назад

I use a 6” P2 bit for starting the screws that hold the knob halves together. And high-five on the Bosch power tools!

@allaboutcanines День назад

Awesome information Ethan. I have a really old house. The exterior doors have the door handle hole to close to the edge of the door, I get wounded everytime I try to use the door handle normally (I haven't learned even from the blood & guts). Do I need to get a new door? I'm wondering if I could drill new holes at the correct distance a little higher than usual. Even a la UK as they are often at eye height. Thank you.

@OwenConniss 11 часов назад

You might want to re-key the locks again with keys that are not shown in the video. It is trivially easy to decode a key and reproduce it from a photo or video.

Yes, they do. You have to "reset" inside and outside separately, of course. I bought mine at Lowe's in NW Georgia about six years ago.

Also, only one side has the hole for the pin. Make sure that you install the lock set with that on the INSIDE.

I need to change all of the locks on my doors with new locks. Kwikset is what I have now. When I moved into this house many years ago, I rekeyed all the locks by replacing pins the old fashioned way. If you've ever rekeyed locks by changing pins, you know that this new SmartKey feature is a Godsend. Now I'm actually looking forward to installing the new locks, and thanks for sharing your experience with SmartKey! 👍👍👍
