Can I change the pin combination in the actual key slot? I just want to make my current house key work on the lock .

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.

You can rekey all nine but each kit will come with its own set of keys and a preset pin sequence. You may get luck and happen to get the same key set, but that's not likely. The other option is if you get one set, you can write down the pin sequence and just buy those pins ad hoc to rekey your remaining locks. You would probably be better off with Kwikset Bottom Pins with 4 Tools Rekey Kit Rekeying Set locksmith

Yes, my schlage house key slides into the lock just fine. I have not had the pins changed yet to match my house key. I installed the lock in some sliding doors in the rear guest house. I am happy with the lock for my application.

It's changeable but the lock is so weak that a different combination doesn't matter or help. The shaft holding the lock together is a plastic tube and can be broken easily by prying with a screw driver. You don't even need to pry hard.

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.

Hi Cheryl...one idea is I can make a copy of my key and send it to you. I'm assuming it's the "same" lock. I'm working away from home right now and may not be able to get it to you very fast. When do you need it by and I can see what I can do ??

You can set the locks to differant keys but the keys have to be for kwikset locks.

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.

It should work, but it will be impossible to re-set the combo without and alignment tool. You will have to call a professional locksmith.

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.

No. Not that I know of. Mine came factory set and there were no instructions on how to change it. I'd ask Stack-On on their web site to really make sure. Here's the link to Instruction sheet. http://s3.amazonaws.com/stack-on-production/downloads/63/Security_Safe_Manual_-_Combination_Lock.pdf?AWSAccessKeyId=08CNY13ZYZNXTVEEJX82&Expires;=1391378306&Signatur;e=rn7GFV4%2BxsLA55O8ivdf%2FizQ1rU%3D

No you can not change the combination , the key can be a override if you do not touch the combination dial the key is a added Touch of security by locking out the Handel and,combination dial

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.

Yes, it can be changed numerous times. There is a pin that comes with the lock that you need to insert into the same hole that the end of the lock goes into. It's a hole within a larger hole, if that makes sense. The lock needs to be open of course. But once the pin is inserted, you set it to the combo you want and then remove the pin- which sets the new combo.

Not too sure. However I would contact the manufacturer directly. ..they may be able to help you. Or maybe replace the lock and you will receive a new key with the new lock.

No. They give you only the pins to match the keys they provide. It is very unlikely the 5 key sizes they provide will be the same as the 5 key sizes on your existing key.

You may want to watch this kwickset instructional video before you rekey. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHhwYBGz2kU You'll actually need the new key to change the pins if you follow the recommended procedure. I purchased a set of keys at the hardware store before rekeying. Lowe's had packs of 2, and then the key guys made me 2 more copies of those keys. I then went home and keyed all my locks to that key. I got the keys locally because I didn't want to order them online. No good having someone with both my address and possibly copies of my keys. To answer your question directly: I've never tried taking the numbers in, but that is really a non-starter, since you have to have the keys in hand to do the rekeying. Good luck, I hope it works for you.
