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.

No, the keys are not interchangeable. I ended up labeling the bottom & top keys. Yes, the keys will remove when the safe is unlocked.

Sorry but I return the it. I may have had a defective one because I couldn't change the combination to my own. Bought the master lock instead.

The safe I received had the combination preset with no instructions on how to change it but I have read that it is possible with this model... I am not going to attempt that.

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

I rekeyed it to a Schlage 6 pin key. Not a problem if you know what you're doing or have a locksmith.

You can just use your pin code, you don't half to use both. The key is for if the battery runs out then you can still get in. The other key is for the lock box in the safe but I'm sure you knew that already. Hope that helps

Yes, this lock has Kwikset's Smartkey system so you can easily change its lock to any Kwikset style key.

I think so. The lock mechanism has the rekey hole used in all kwikset locks. I know it can be rekeyed to use other kwikset keys.

1.It is possible if you have special key that cant reset and then enter new key.2.Don't buy Schlage lock set - it has big problem - Please research on this3.I returned my lock - the key doesn't work after few months - hard to imagine, right? but true.

You have to have the key that currently works in the lock to activate the key-change procedure. Odds are against that, I hope.

Hi, I had the same issue. I followed the instructions, set it to 000 and was never able to properly set the combination. Now I have a useless lock.

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.

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.

Luckily you cant change the combo without a Change Key. If it were possible these locks would not sell very well as they would not be very secure.

If the new key doesn't fit at all, then you probably got a kit for the wrong brand of lock & key, as they each have their own key design.If the new key fits but doesn't unlock the lock, then you probably made a mistake while changing out the pins.

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
