Wait! Is that a _plastic_ barrel and cylinder? That makes it very vulnerable to various attacks. So how come it can claim to give Grade 1 home security? I would never use that Kwikset to secure anything more valuable than my lunch..

Absolutely incredible video man. I botched the reprogram and none of th regular troubleshooting worked. I followed your procedure and it works flawlessly. Took 5 minutes with a phillips and flat screwdriver and I was done. Thank you so much!

This was me to a tee. Botched the initial program. NEVER thought I’d find a video to fix my screw up - but low and behold - found this. Thought I just tossed $45 for a wasted deadbolt but 5 minutes following this video - and I’m back in business. THIS IS THE KINDA STUFF THE INTERNET WAS MADE FOR. BROTHERS HELPING BROTHERS. Thank you to the original poster big time!

Same! Only I have the old style and everything fell apart. It took more than 5 minutes, but still less than half an hour! This deadbolt is on a back door and I **have** the key to the door lock and it matches the deadbolt on the front door. So, I've never really cared I didn't have a key to the deadbolt for the back door. It's nice to have it fixed, though!

So other locksmiths don’t really know this Kwikset Smartkey reset ? Well I learned this by myself after playing with this cylinder few minutes. Happy that you could save some money and learn something new

I purchased 6 new Kwikset Smart Key exterior locks for my home, but I had only a 50% success rate re-keying the locks (after precisely following the instructions each time), and my children heard me use language I shouldn't use. Thankfully, this video allowed me to reset all of the inoperative locks in less than an hour's time, using tools I had at home. The only advice I would add is to make sure that you have the tumbler oriented as shown in the video (3:13), so that when you remove the part holding the side pins, it is facing up. Otherwise the side pins will fall out. It's not a big deal to replace them, but just a little bit annoying. Also, when you have re-set the side pins and are making sure the side bar slides back and forth (4:00), I found that it was useful to remove and insert the key several times, checking to make sure that the side bar slides back and forth after each insertion. Once, I didn't do this, and after reassembling the lock I discovered that the key did not turn. For some reason the re-keying hadn't worked. So I had to take it all apart again. Thanks again for a very useful video!

Really great video. Easy to follow directions. Loved that you left the cylinder in the housing and used *any* key to bump the pins for the initial removal. Well done and thanks! I will "like and subscribe" and hit the 🔔. 😉

This worked great after my rekeying went way bad on my deadbolt. Saved the day. Followed each step and low and behold it worked. Thanks for this information and clear instructions, it saved me so much time and the frustration of having to return and exchange the one I messed up. Redemption!😊

Worked great! For anyone who tries this their first time, that slider piece will come out of the tumbler right quick. Be sitting down with a clean workspace, those little pawls are easy to lose. I was fortunate in that I already had one Kwik set on hand to practice on first.

Worked exactly as described. A dead-bolt lock was what was shown, but it also worked on a standard doorknob or lever-type lock. Thanks!

Perfect, just what I needed. Just messed up rekeying a key entry, and it was very similar. Just one note; the plastic cover, holding pins and springs, flew off. After gathering springs from everywhere, I tried with a "lower" or "flatter" key (less spring tension), this time it stayed in place. Thanks for the video!

Same process works 6 years later - I had a much harder time with it then you do in the video, but was able to get it done! Thanks so much for the video, saved me a big headache!

This saved me when I went to re-key a new lock and got the supplied key jammed with the bolt out during the process. Followed the video and put it back together using the key I wanted to change to, then I didn't have to try to use the reset tool again. My particular unit had an extra snap ring but everything else matched. Thank you

Awesome. I bought a house with two Kwikset keypad deadbolts that I've programmed a code, but I wanted a key in case the batteries died so I could still get in. I bought a third for the front door to replace a Schlage deadbolt and wanted them to be keyed the same, but I couldn't find an original key for the other two units. Now I can re-key them for the same key thanks to this video.

Hey man, you did a fantastic job explaining. I never comment on videos but you deserve kudos. Great stuff.

Thank you so much for this video! The instructions were great. I actually came to see how to take my lock apart because the tumbler wasn't rotating, but I was afraid of losing pins so I wanted to see what it looked like inside. I still had issues with it rotating after reassembly, so I decided to just swap the interior and exterior tumblers. But I had never keyed the interior lock and who knows where the key was. So I also used this to re-key it. And then after messing around with the other one, I got them both going smoothly!

Worked perfectly, thanks so much for a easy-to-follow video.

Thank you for the information, this saved me far more time than the Kwikset recommended method of sliding the key in & out to find the mis-keyed position. Just be sure to work slowly & carefully, the parts are tiny & must be positioned exactly as shown in the video.

This is such a great video! One tip for people who might have struggled putting the tailpiece and C clamp back on. If you are forcing the C clamp on and it wont go on as easy as the video, check the opposite side. There is a small hole there that it fits correctly into. If you are struggling, you are on the wrong side, turn the cylinder 180 degrees and it will slide in as easy as the video.

THANK YOU You just saved my life!

Priceless video. Helped me sort out my mistake of taking it apart. Now back together again. Best!

Like others, I had goofed up when rekeying a new deadbolt, and thought i would have to buy another new one. This worked amazingly well. The only thing different for me is when I replaced the lock ring, it wasn't tight, I had bent it out while removing it. I just had to bend it tighter again so it would lock into place properly.
