How To ReKey A Weiser Lock-SmartKey Tutorial

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video, I show you how to rekey a Weiser lock! If your Weiser lock has SmartKey technology, you can use this tutorial to program it to work with a different key. I like using this method because you can have all of the locks in a house working with a single key! It makes locking and unlocking the various doors in your house much more convenient! Rekeying a Weiser lock is easy, and only takes a few minutes!

    I just switched my existing powerbolt and the keyed knob to a Powerbolt2.0 electronic lock, and a keyed lever within minutes after reading the instructions, programmed it to our needs, and WITHIN THE BLINK OF AN EYE the locks were also re-keyed, no need to get new keys cut! I LOVE Weiser locks, everything is so easy....though, I strongly recommend to read the instructions, or watch the WEISER instructional videos BEFORE you start the whole process, including installing and programming. It's a breeze then. The old locks were then re-keyed to the 'new' keys that came with the Powerbolt2.0, and the whole old set with 2 brand new keys is ready to sell.

    Interesting. I just tried my old keys in the new locks and they did not fit. And yes of course they were both Weiser. Perhaps 45 years is too long to expect compatibility.

    It comes with the lock. If your lock does not have the little hole for the keying tool the process will not work. If you somehow lost the tool, you may have to buy the rekey kit. It has the tool and 6 keys. This is perfect for landlords so they can rekey for cheap instead of buying new locks or hiring a locksmith.

    Unlimited. But you would just re-keyonce & then get copies of that new key made for multiple users. But later if you needed to "change the lock" then it can be rekeyed again as many times as needed

    can a locksmith re-key a non-smartKeyWeiser lock _without_ a key? My mother lost her key and has just been using the keypad to gain entry. This particular Weiser lock is about 20yrs old. Or would the locksmith just replace the lock...

    It would be possible to do so, for a non smartkey lock, to rekey it, the lock would have to be disassembled regardless of if you had the key And i think it would actually be easier and quicker to disassemble it without using the key (upon request i will explain why, but be warned, unless you are familiar with the insides of locks then it will sound alien to you) Although I suppose it would depend on the locksmith as to if they would replace it, or rekey it

    He does it different than the directions: on directions it’s current key 90 degrees to clockwise. Use tool in little hole, pull key out, put new kw1 in, turn counter clockwise 180 degrees then 90 degrees clockwise. Pull out key, done……. If you brick it, making no keys work, any half asses lock smith should be able to reset it for you. Even Home Depot can.

    What kind of garbage system is this? Mine totally stopped turning. Doing this did nothing. Snapped the key trying to do this. One year, maybe 30 uses and the lock is totally useless. Next time avoid chinese import locks and buy a proper brand that doesn't "forget" how to work.
