- Andrew of Andrews Lock and Key gives a how-to video on rekeying a Kwikset SmartKey cylinder in the field without a Kwikset rekey cradle. These locks are built with pins and wafers that have to align correctly in order for the lock to turn. Andrew shows you how the lock works, the different parts of the lock, and what to do in order to rekey the cylinder.

Thanks for taking my call!!! After the wafer issue was resolved, I was able to rekey properly.
Thank you! Something must’ve been wrong with the key cradle I was using. I re-keyed it twice but once I pulled out the key, it wouldn’t work. So I had to re-key it manually and it worked! Hallelujah!
I thought we were going to have to buy another deadbolt - this (after several rewatches and redoing steps over lol) saved the day! Thank you Andrew!!!
You are very welcome 😁
Glad I could help out
Thank you for the video. it was a big help! I'd watched a similar video but the locksmith forgot to slow down for the inexperienced viewers. This time it worked because no steps were skipped over.😃
Thank you for this detail video! I found two locks in the garage, no keys. With your help, we rekeyed them with our spare keys. Now we can use them somewhere.
Best video I have seen on re keying kwikset locks. Saved me a couple hundred $$$. Thanks so much!!!
Kwikset would not open with the key I've used for 4 years. Don't know how or why but with your video I was able to get it working again. Thank you very much!
Glad I could help you out Todd
You just save me $$! I need it to change the cylinder and I couldn’t figure it out until I saw your video. Thank you so much!
Andrew, this video just saved my friend $250 Canadian dollars cause his attempt at rekeying a SmartKey cylinder failed miserably and the lock locked up! I was able to get the core out of the deadbolt body, take it apart thanks to this video and reset it to the actual housekey during reassembly, works perfectly. Thank you for the concise instructions and excellent camera placement to catch where all the parts go correctly!
Moved into new house, the house key we were given did not fit one Weiser deadbolt lock on the side door. It is a smart lock. I just re keyed the lock, thanks Andrew. I now have the only working key to this deadbolt lock.
The residents in Mesa AZ are fortunate to have Andrew. I took a set of these locks to Home Depot in Nashville Tennessee where they were purchased to have them re-keyed. After making three trips back by to pick them up they informed me they could not be re-keyed without the key that fit.
Thank you Andrew. I knew it could be done and thanks to your video even I can do it!
You helped me rekey my lock after my key stopped working. Life saver and MVP over here! Thanks for making these instructions
Thank you for the very clear and to the point refresher on how to do this. Nice tutorial.
Such a huge help! I messed up my lock, and with your easy to follow instructions, I got it working again. Never would have thought I could fix it myself if I didn't have this video to walk me through it.
I'm not a professional, just a DIY'er that installed a Kwickset Smartkey deadbolt with a key that didn't work. Your instructions were spot on! Got the deadbolt keyed to my house key in about 30 minutes. Thank you for your precise tutorial!
Glad to help out 😊
There is a bunch of these on TH-cam, but yours is possibly the most concise and clear. I had two messed up Weiser locks. The instructions they provide for the Smartkey are either incomplete or wrong. After some experimentation I found that I could only rekey them if the special tool was inserted from the time I had the original key in 90 degrees until I had put in the new key. I had messed up two locks trying to follow the included instructions. One was a newer style that is different than shown in this video. The side bar was held into the slider with two spring clips and the springs are on top of the side bar rather than underneath. The basic principal worked the same though. You just had to remove the spring clips from the slider and do more fiddly work to get it back together.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I just replaced all my home locks with the Baldwin quickset locks. I threw away the old keys after rekeying but the front door deadbolt reset did not take properly and I was stuck without a key that worked. With this tutorial the front door deadbolt lock now works with the proper house key.
You're awesome! As others have said, I've seen other vids but they didn't make sense.
Bought a Kevo and managed to brick it within minutes so that no key worked.
Now it's all good!
Thanks!! Saved my butt. Rekeyed 3 locks, 2 were the standard rekey with the Kwikset kit, opened the 3rd and it was the smart lock! You made it as easy as the 1st 2! 👍👍
Sweet!
Thanks, I got one of those programmable locks and I managed to make it not do anything. Thanks to you and your video I was able to make it work again. With the right key even! Thanks!
Thanks for this video it was amazing to fix my lock at my work.
Thanks for the video! Bought and installed a couple locks and messed up while rekeying. Thought I was going to have to go buy another one but found your video and all is well. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this video - clear step by step instructions and superb visuals! Lock re-keyed in 10 mins
Thanks, I saved money 💰 with you video, , I don't have key but one old key works perfect now, I have home key now, thanks
Well done. You have a radio voice.Thank you so much.
Andrew is the man ....completed this intricate well detailed kwikset rekey on first attempted. Hardest thing was holding the parts together during reassemble. Thank you so much in taking time out to but this video out for us to leverage!
You are very welcome Mr Torres.
Thank you so much for this information. I was on the verge of insanity looking for my lost key. Thankfully, your in depth instructions allowed me to re-key to a key that operates another lock in the house.
Glad I can help you out.
Thanks so much for this video! Screwed up somehow while re-keying my new lock, this helped me to fix it. Really appreciate it!
Thanks for taking the time to do this video.
Really appreciate it.
thank you for your help - I got the lock assembly back together and it works great
This was exactly the video I needed. Thank you!
If you did what I did and somehow made a mistake while re-keying, you can try to use the same key you ended with and just pull it out/up/down in small increments. It may work in one position. If so, turn it 90 degrees to the right insert/remove the smartkey and start over. When that fails, this video shows exactly what to do!
Glad I could help out 😊😊
Excellent video. I think your doing it so quickly at the end is what made me keep trying.
Hi Andrew, thank you so much!! I followed this video and successfully made my ONE WEEK OLD lock work again!! This video is very easy to follow. I could see each step very clearly. I was going to either buy a new deadbolt or call a locksmith for help. I am glad I found this video and gave it a shot! Thank you again!
+H Tarien glad I could help out
Thank you for the detailed instructions. Your video so impressed me. I now fully understand how Keykwik door lock works and also how re-key works.
excellent video, it worked beautifully! saved a lot of time and money! thanks
I know this is an older video but I had lost the key and was able to rekey the lock and it went smoothly thanks to your video! Appreciate you taking the time to make this tutorial!
Glad I could help out
I had to come back... All good now! Thank you so much. I feel like I learned something really useful today.
Glad to help out
Thank you for this great video. With your help, I was able to save 4 locks and a Powerbolt 2. My son bought a home that had no keys and we were able to save all of the locks and rekey them to all work off the same key!!
Glad we could help you out
Thank you for this video. It enabled me to rekey a new Kwicset lever handle lock that came with a bad original key.
As info this newer lock's sidebar is held in place by two plastic "C" bands with a tiny spring under each.
Thank you for this video. It was very easy to follow and I was able to re key my lock.
Saved me from having to call Kwikset and get a reset cradle. Fixed my deadbolt in less than 10 minutes. Thank you!!
Amazing! Thanks for the vid. Saved me a trip to the locksmith.
Thank you!! I was able to follow along and fix my lock for the new key.
Tried a different video that didn’t explain nearly as good as you. I was about to give up and came across your video which answered all my questions and now I have successfully rekeyed my lock to match the key to another entry door.
Thanks for this. I somehow derped the rekey procedure on one (out of four) new locks so that neither the old nor new key would work. With your help I was able to fix it.
I have done that, too. Our local hardware store (no locksmith in town) wanted to sell me a new one as they 'can't be fixed'.
Five minutes with this video and I had fixed my mistake.
Thanks!
Glad I could help you
I had to do this after the tool and key fell out just as I was turning the the lock.
Ooklllllqq
This was great. Thorough and clear. Thanks so much.
I found a smartlock in my garage that didn't have a factory key that worked. This video was perfect to help me solve the problem.
Awesome video for rekeying the smart key cylinder.
Thank you so much Andrew !!! I reset one of my kwikset cylinders which had been re-programmed and the new key would not work (even with all the tries to find the right part of the key which had been programmed). This video is MAGIC ! Char.
Thank you for the comment. Glad I could help out
Excellent video. Saved me like $80. ON the newer locks you do not need to removed the side bar. In fact i don't even now how you would accomplish that as it is held in by two retaining clamps on either side. Regardless of that this only took like 15 minutes from start to finish. THANKS SO MUCH.
I Just started working at a hardware store in the section that rekeys locks and I figured this out the other day on my own. Guess I did everything rite because i did exactly what you did. Go me!!
Clear and precise video. I actually followed through with only a jewel flat head screw driver and the instructions worked perfectly. TY so much!
Glad I could help
Thank you so much this helps greatly now i work at Home Depot and we rekey alot your very thorough on your explanation thanks again and i have subscribe and get notification on new videos
Awesome video, I just rekeyed my lock in 5 minutes and saved a ton of money
Thank you, I managed to save my deadbolt by following your instructions!
Glad I could help 😃
YOU ROCK! Fixed my lock, thanks!
Thanks for the help, actually performed this today. Thanks again
Thanks for this walkthrough. Very helpful and worked like a charm!
+userdude08 thank you for watching and commenting. Glad you got it to work for you.
Cool. I just learned about smart key locks. Helpful to know this stuff.
Was able to rekey my girlfriends lock thanks to you! Awesome video, very helpful!
Wow! Just watched your video and I re-keyed my kwikset deadbolt! Thanks a million my dude!
Glad to be a help.
That worked awesomely well! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I have used many Kwikset Smartkey locks and this is the first time I had one that did not re-key properly. The key that came with the lock didn't work and the key I tried to re-key to did not work. Your video and instructions saved the day!!!
Glad to help out 😊👍😁
Great video This helped me out on a couple locks that the keys were lost
Great video. Extremely helpful. Saved me $100. Thanks
A very instructive video. I was able to easily reset my lock. Glad i stumble upon this video as all the others I saw were crap!
You are welcome
Very good instruction, with your help I rekeyed a keyless smartlock on my first try. Thankyou.
You are very welcome. Glad to help out 😊👍
Thanks a lot man.. you just saved me some money. I did it and it worked.. Thanks again man
+Lucas Anzaldua no problem and that's what it's for thanks for commenting and watching
Thank you man. Great instruction that saved me a good amount of money.
Awesome! Your video saved me sir!! Thank you very much!
I use a set of depth keys to read the wafers on top of the assembled Lock. Decode and cut a key to fit. Works great for me. I mark a line on the rekey tool to act as a depth gage to measure the right height of the wafer when it in the correct position.
Awesome!!! Thank you. I’ve had two fail while rekeying.
Thanks for creating this helped out in changing a lock with a lost key.
Just saved my butt, with this Kevo lock. Turned in all the old keys when I moved.
Glad to help out 😊👍
This was a life saver. Ty for the video
Exactly what I needed. Easy peasy.
Awesome tutorial. Thank you. Life saver.
That worked great. One of my little saw shaped wafers broke. I was able to follow your instructions and get the lock back together, with the key I wanted. I works just fine with 4 instead of 5 pins.
Wayne Duncan was wondering if that was an option myself.
One of my wafers was facing the wrong way!
Good to know.
Technically it's more susceptible to picking now but really? I'd take my chances or move out of the neighborhood of I was that concerned because locks don't deter thieves
Thank You Very Much,, You are a great teacher
Awesome! Thank you. Very well done.
Thank you. For an amateur who lost his key to the backdoor this will be my weekend project!
Thank so much for this video. It saved me!!!!
Worked great. Thanks!
Great video! Saved me from having to buy a new lock. Thanks!
Thank you very much for the great video. It really did help me a lot
Glad I could help out 😊
excellent, excellent instructions I had to watch the video a couple of times, old people are like that., so now where do I take my lock smith exam.
Thanks for answering my call man!
Glad I could help out I hope you got that figured out
So awesome thanks for this!
Saved me. Thanks so much!
Thanks, very easy fix.
Great job from one locksmith to another! Cradle tool is the way to go, but this is good knowledge to have in your toolbox. Plus helps to understand exactly what's going on in the lock if you need to troubleshoot.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video 👍🏾
Excelente video amigo, me sirvió mucho 👍
Thank you very much for your help your awesome
Thanks Andrew..
Somehow you made those parts seem bigger than they actually are.. :)
I just moved into a new house where I have six internal doors with smartlocks and no keys.. first one is the Lever Style Tustin Handle.. man those Allen set screws are a bitch when the lock wont turn..
You got me on the right track !! Tustin done.. now for the round style knobs.
Thanks!!
+Steven Hartney getting the cylinders out of the knob is a little bit more of a trick you either need a special tool or too small screwdrivers
You're all over the place :) Looks like night and you look tired, signed the mystery locksmith :)
+ultimateazhole hahahaha
Thank you . it worked out great !!! 👍 there going to write songs about you !!!
Very helpful thanks
This is great. I think I screwed up my garage door knob lock. Thanks... trying now...
Good video. Thanks
