Lost keys to my Entry door lock

Lost keys to entry door lock and would like to rekey it to deadbolt lock

  • Richard Stacy Jul 22, 2008

    My whole kwikset lock mechanism for an outside door, (not a deadbolt has become extremely loose and I can't figure out how to tighten it. So far we've just gotten the inside handle off, but nothing turns to tighten it and nothing else seems to want to come apart.

Visit your local Home Depot and purchase a Kwikset re-keying kit. They're inexpensive and work fine but stay alert and follow the instructions properly. This kit comes complete with proper pins as well as new keys. Good Luck!

Rekeying house door lock

rekeying depends on the specific brand of lock you have.

The easiest solution would be to replace your current locks with the same brand. Figure out how many of which locks you want to change, ie: deadbolts, entry knobs, etc. and buy matched sets from your local hardware store. They are marked with a key code on the box...make sure they match if you want the keys to be the same.

If you remove the inside housing from the door, and look inside on the left hand side of the circuit board, you will find a slot marked "L R".

Key won't turn deadbolt

Try using your smartkey to "rekey" the lock to the original key... there's really no reason to buy the smartkey system unless you change locks alot... they are meant for the apartment industry more than anything I believe... in any case, the smartkey system allows you to rekey the lock without removing it from the door... so, use the original key and use the smartkey to rekey it or select a different cut and key it to that key... should solve your problem.

Last resort... take it back to HD for replacement.
