Schlage Compatible Rekeying Kit 7 Tool & 200 Pin Series

I can't add much to the existing reviews but I'll echo the sentiment. This is a great kit, not very expensive, and comes with TONS of pins. I already knew how to re-key locks so the lack of instructions wasn't a problem (as another reviewer noted, Schlage has PDF instructions on their web site for all their locks). I have re-keyed seven or eight locks with this kit so far and I recommend it highly.The deadbolt cap remover is the only piece that doesn't work in this kit; it doesn't match any of the Schlage deadbolts I've re-keyed so far, but you can just use a paperclip or other semi-sharp tool (even the edge of the plug clip remover) to hold down the locking pin while you turn the threaded end cap by hand. So it's not a big deal and considering the size of this kit for the money it doesn't bother me at all.If you need to re-key locks this kit is a great value.

I couldn't wait to get this kit in the mail. This kit is exactly what I needed to rekey all of my Baldwin locks. I looked at the video online and I printed the Schlage rekeying manual. It was all I needed to get started. I rekeyed a Baldwin lock that wasn't being used at the time and it rekeyed perfectly. I was excited, so the next day I rekeyed all of my nine Baldwin locks to match my new Pella front entry door; that was Schlage compatible also. Thank you so much and it saved me money from having to go to a locksmith. My daughter is buying a house and she said mom I hope you won't charge me to rekey my locks. She's excited too that mom will be able to help her save money too. Thanks again. I would recommend kit to anyone needing to rekey their locks. You can rekey many many many locks with this kit.

I bought this kit with no prior experience with locks. I watched several video's on youtube and felt somewhat confident purchasing this kit. I had 2 schlage deadbolts and 4 schlage handle locks to change.I set up my work station right infront of my computer monitor and followed the video's step by step, pausing and starting as I worked through it.My first deadbolt took about an hour and a half. I got clumbsy and didn't use the plug follower right and my top pins fell out. Youtube search and I was able to find a vido on how to reinstall them. After working through my error I was able to finish the lock and was on to the next. By my last few locks I was down to about 15 minutes from start to finish.Everything you need is included in this kit and I highly recomend it. There are parts included in this kit that I can't see my self using but who knows. I have enough lock pins to last me a lifetime.One last note.......when dealing with locks, patients is required.

Has all the tools and equipment to rekey the locks several times. Also the key tool allows me to read keys so I can order locks already keyed for my key. The deadbolt cap remover does not fit very well but does work sometimes to push in the locking pin.

Do not buy. The deadbolt cap remover does not fit deadbolts. I bought Schlage deadbolts, B62N V 505 605. The cap on the lock has 14 notches. The tool has 12. Both followers are useless. I bought a Schlage Plymouth Design Keyed knob. The followers don't fit against the cylinder. They need to update the design. The company refunded me $10. Thanks a lot. Maybe I can get a cup of coffee.

I had 5 locks I wanted to key to match a sixth. Four of the locks were Schlage locks. I had a couple Schlage locks in reserve. First I keyed one in advance. Than I replaced one, keyed it and proceeded along those lines. No trip charge and paying someone to do it. Did the job on my time. This is a wonderful kit. Some were concerned about the crown remover not working. For me it worked on the newer locks but not on the older locks but hey the pin punch in my tool box box did the trick. The followers were nice but I had previously made one out of a wood dowel that I liked better because it was longer. I also attached a label to the dowel to add friction so it stayed in place better. You can make your own pin tweezer and follower as discussed, use a pin punch and the right size slotted screw driver. However for the money in addition to the pins I recommend this set because it also has the tools. It is nice to have the right tools for the job and enough pins to do many locks now and in the future. The money not paid to someone else pays for the set. I know this sounds corny but I found doing it myself relaxing and less stressful than dealing with someone else on their time.

Rekeyed both of my houses and all doors to the same key. Only have to carry one key now. Enough stuff to do an unlimited number of locks. Watch a couple of YouTube videos. It’s not hard to change keys and cylinders to the way you want them.

Just re-keyed 6 locks using this kit in a couple hours.Everything I needed was in the kit.The kit already paid for itself, figuring in the cost of getting keys made.I had never re-keyed before, so first I downloaded re-keying documentation from Schlage web site. Their documentation is top rate. Then I found an old door lock and experimented with it. After convincing myself I could reassemble a lock and make it work again, I just set about pulling apart each lock in the house and putting it back together (one at a time!). By the time I was finished, I could rekey a tumbler in under 15 minutes. Anyone w/ decent eyesight could do better ;)If nothing else, it was satisfying to learn a new skill :)Now the whole family only needs 1 key for everything! I plan on re-keying my folk's house the next time we visit. Of course it helps that I always use Schlage because my dad always used Schlage. I have no idea if this kit would work on other manufacturers locks.
