I have no idea if the people who made this video are still around - but they deserve big compliments. Leo is very clear in his words and actions, and the videographer does a great job of zooming in on the action and back out to the presenter, keeping it all well centered and focused. It's hard to do this well, and especially to make it appear simple and natural. Very well done!

I hope the videographer wears goggles so the flying clip ring doesn’t put an eye out. 😅

Love the chuckle as he sends the clip off to nowhere land.

Great video! Actually bought this kit a year ago intending to rekey a lock. Had to replace a broken Schlage deadbolt today, and the new one came with keys that don't match. After watching the video I suddenly realized I could take the old key pins out (made sure I kept them in sequence), put them in the new lock tumbler, and voila, my regular house key now works. Saved a trip to locksmith, and all my locks use the same key.

Thanks! I got a new lock set and needed to move my original key to the new dead bolt, great help from your video! I just needed 2 followers to make the transfer

Excellent video! I used to rekey Schlage and Kwikset locks years ago when I worked for a small town hardware store. I helped a lot of people keep their exes from getting back into their homes after they had been kicked out. Good times. Your color coding system is a really great idea! I wish we had that back in the day. Cheers!

This video is great. I found the video when doing a general Google search for lock re-keying possibilities. After viewing the video and realizing this was produced by a company that actually makes a kit for re-keying Schlage locks, I immediately ordered a kit and have just completed two locks. This video is now saved in my KZread favorites so I can refer to it when I re-key more! Thank you Prime-Line!

Excellent tutorial I knew it wasn't rocket science to rekey a lock set, but you've made it very straightforward and easy to understand thanks again!!

Old videos with good information are timeless! Thanks.

Great video, perfect instructions. I did 8 locks and started the vids at the beginning as I re-keyed each lock to make sure I followed every step correctly. Someone below mentioned the tension on the threaded cap, I, too had trouble getting the key out on the first deadbolt I did. I ended up taking entire lock apart to get key out. Putting springs and plugs back in was like performing microsurgery.

After getting a $300+ quote from a locksmith and thinking of all the things I'd rather do with that money I found Prime Line. I rekeyed 10 knobs, levers and deadbolts this weekend using two of your kits. Thank you so much for your products and these videos!

you're really good at describing and setting out all of the pieces.

Excellent tutorial. Clear, concise and easy to follow. Well done, sir! Thanks!

Today was the first deadbolt I've ever had to change out. This walk-thru was perfect. Thank you.

Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much! Saved me a lot of time and hassle shuttling locks around to get this done!

This is one of the best instructional videos I have seen. Very clear and concise instructions. Thank you!

Thank you so much for making this excellent product and for such great instructions! Rekeying my lock was a snap…but getting my old deadbolt assembly put back together again was not 😅 lol, but you live and you learn.

Excellent video! Love the clear view of what you were doing and articulation of directions. Can't wait to try this out, Thank you.

Thank you for this excellent video. I followed the steps exactly and it all turned out fine with my Schlage 5 pin deadbolt and entry knob set successfully re-keyed. My wife thinks I'm a big hero now. :O)

This is the best video I have ever seen about rekeying! Thanks so much for creating and sharing!!

I love it when the clip goes flyin' across the room!

Thanks for making this video. I was able tor Re-Key my entire house following you step by step instructions.

Well done. No nonsense, easy to follow steps.

Thank you for watching. It's always nice to get a thanks, it lets us know we're at least helping people.

This is a great video. Thank you for posting.

JUST COMPLETED MY LOCK SET AND WENT PERFECT. THANK YOU!

Thank you very much! Was able to rekey my garage door Schlage deadbolt and main door Baldwin deadbolt with this​ kit. Took about 20 mins. As one of the commenters mentioned, if the cap is too tight the key won't turn properly and may seem stuck.

Just re-keyed 3 locks. Could not have done it without this video. Thanks! Even watching your finger placement was helpful in reassembling the lock mechanism.

Thank you for the kind words. We try to keep the videos short and sweet, but for some things like this you really do need to show every little detail.

Works like a charm! Note… Pay close attention at Mark 5:07 to 5:20 or you will lose your mind. Although I did appreciate the links below that helped me put those springs back. I feel like a pro I did 3 locks.

Awesome for sure. I cant tell you how much this video helped me out. The rekey kit is simple and useful, a great product, but great care must be taken. Its easy to screw the operation up and ruin a lockset. By that I mean losing the springs and pins out of the plug housing. So frustrating to reinstall the springs and pins, this is a great video step by step, and a locksmith is like appliance repairmen, scoundrels I just dont care to give my money to. Thanks!!!

6 locks rekeyed. Thank you very much this video.

Thank you for the straightforward video!

Thanks for the video. I had to modify the notched end of the black tube to make it work with the Schlage lock cylinder in my lever-handle doorknob. If you take some side cutters and make the notch so that it is broadly V shaped, and also cut the tube down so that the notch is only about 1/3 of it's original length, it will work just fine.

Thanks for the compliment. Glad you found it useful.

Thanks. I just finished rekeying my front door, the video was much easier to follow than the instructions. :-)

This is my "go to" video for rekeying. Thanks!!

Excellent video.. You make it look so simple even I'm heartened that I'm able to do this. Keep up the good work.

Very good instructional video. Thank you . It's easy if you follow directions closely . I did my first lock and springs started flying out because I started pulling out the follower from the housing while as I was putting in the new pins. It's important to emphasize LEAVE THE FOLLOWER IN THE HOUSING UNTIL PUSHING THE NEW PLUG BACK IN ! Otherwise the parts will be flying out from the housing !

Very helpful. I left the locking pin and spring in place, and just used a notched follower.

Great video. One tidbit...with my 20 year old locks, when I tried to remove the new key before re-assembly, I couldn't. I lubed the lock with WD40 and had no further problems. This happened twice. Also, I did blow the springs a couple of times, though, but getting them back in wasn't as hard as I thought I would be. :)

Excellent Tutorial 👌🤩

Great video!! Could we use the pins to use an existing key? Or we have to kit key and keyed everything to the kit key? Thanks!!

I found that it is critical to get the right amount of turns (tension) on the threaded cap when it is put back on the key plug. If it is too lose or too tight, you won't be able to remove the new key. The cap ring tension makes sure the key plug pins line up with the spring pins.

I just wanted to thank you for your video. I re-keyed 6 Schlage Locks in my home for the price of one re-keying kit from Lowes ($10). Before I made it to Lowes, I did call a number of locksmiths in my area. Each of them ranged from $15-$20 per lock. Thank you, thank you, thank you! you saved me over $100.

Where were you able to find the rekey kit at Lowes? Down the locks and door handles aisle? I went there to get a rekey kit and the two guys had no clue what I was talking about. All they said was that they could rekey each lock for a fee. Might have to run by Lowes again to see if I can find someone who knows something.

Yes, I did. It was hanging on an stick post in the same isle as the Schlage knob sets. There was one set for the Schlage and one set for Kwikset locks. I do know Home Depot carries them, as well. Good luck

It works just fine. I like it.

Outstanding video, saved me $$$$

Thanks for the product. I just changed 2 traditional dead bolts and 1 electronic keypad dead bolt. All you need, in addition to this key is a #2 Philips screwdriver, and a #15 Torx bit if you are using an electronic keypad.

... What the hell? Your comment on Amazon.ca is what made me find this video, and then somehow find you in the comments section on here aswell? lol

I love that key plug how it connects right to the back

Very valuable knowledge. Where I work, the boss wants to be the only one with this knowledge.

Great video! My tip: The springs and top pins are in the part that sits on top of the plug, and bottom pins are in the plug itself. The slotted part of the follower leaves a gap for F series locks. MAKE SURE THE TOP AND BOTTOM PINS ARE NOT LINED UP OR FALLING INTO A GAP when working with the follower steps. TURN THE TOP part 90 degrees or even a little more to help with the issue of springs and top pins falling out. Once I realized that, it was super-easy and fast. Tip #2: for reinstalling the springs, you can also pry off the top cap and drop new top pins and springs in from the top and put a new cap on--parts available online at reasonable price.

The video was very helpful. I rekeyed 4 locks with kit. One hint... I have a deadbolt on front door that had an extra pin slot. Skip that one for the first pin in color sequence. I couldn't figure out why they weren't flush with bolt shank with key in. :-)

Great video. Thanks!

Thank you!

Good helpful video thanks

Used this to repin my first doorknob!

Sorry, I meant to answer you on Monday when I saw the message. Schlage knobs have a little tab on the interior that you have to push in the take the knob off. I've seen others with the tab, and a wire that holds the rosette on. You can try using the pin that's supplied with the kit and pushing in one of the holes and see if it releases the knob. Any more details you can give will help. You can email photos to the email address in the description and please mention KZread

I did purchase one new lockset because it is old, the finish has worn off, and we've been having trouble with it anyway. After further thought, I am not going to give up on the rekeying kit; it is just a bit more painstaking than I had anticipated.

Good! I like it.

"all you have to do is pick the lock" Most people don't have the tools or skill to do this, so we recommend they go to someone like you to get it done right.

This video is helpful but it is definitely not as easy as Larry makes it look. You'll need to be VERY careful not to let the springs and driver pins come out accidentally. Also the newer Schlage cylinders don't fit the slots as shown in the video. You can still use the plug follower but you'll have to tape over the gaps at the back of the slots to keep the pins and springs from popping out. Don't forget the quarter turns and be patient!! Keep the pins from the old key configuration. I found the colored sets didn't always fit exactly right and had to use some of the old pins to make sure all pins were precisely aligned with the top of the cylinder edge. If they stick up even a tiny bit the plug housing won't fit. I got some graphite lubricant and squeezed a dab as I finished up. Good luck! I suggest reading all the comments as there is a lot of wisdom acquired. I hope I NEVER have to do this again!!!

Yep, I've had a Weiser kit and same issue, the pins were too tall, had to file them down, it was a pain.

I am using the e-2402 kit. The first lock was a knob, and there were 1 or 2 very tiny ball-bearings that fell out when I disassembled the lock. I was successful in rekeying the lock even though I had the tiny ball-bearing left over. On the deadbolt, however, there were 2 or 3 tiny ball bearings that fell out, but I was also successful in rekeying the lock. The instructions nor video mention ball bearings. Any advice will be appreciated.

How do you get knob part off the shank if you dont have a working key?

good video. thank you.

A quick question I couldn’t find an answer to on the Schlage website. I am hoping to rekey a Schlage encode, smart deadbolt and a Schlage B 60N deadbolt to use this same key. Is the five pin cylinder on the Encode deadbolt the same or similar to the five pin cylinder used in the B60N deadbolt? Would they use the same pins if I bought a rekey kit online to rekey these cylinders? A vendor on eBay is telling me they use different pins, but he doesn’t sound that sure of himself. Many thanks for your help.

I just discovered that the cap of a standard Sharpie marker is the exact size you need to replace the Schlage dowel you have to have to hold the spring loaded pins in place. I just successfully upgraded my lock and rekeyed it myself using the pins from the old doorknob and a Sharpie cap. 😆

Very Good

Ok, I am extremely cheap! After I have used all of the pins that came with the rekey kit. Would I be able to use the old key pins in the new key arrangement guide? Hopefully, that makes sense.

Yes, I did push down the pin. I noticed the other cylinder caps were easier than the one I worked with. I think it probably got stuck.

Thanks!

Can a 6-pin key fit into a 5-pin cylinder. if that's what's provided in a rekey kit?

I have a couple standard Schlage dead bolts and a Schlage digital Deadbolt BE365CAM619. Does this kit work with the digital deadbolt and are the instructions the same? I understand this kit includes enough pins for 6 locks.

So sorry it took so long. I added a link at the beginning of the video above, to the procedure to put all of the pins and springs back in the cylinder housing. Hope this helps.

In a case where you don't have the original key all you have to do is pick the lock to the same position that the key would be in when they do the plug removal and install. I am a locksmith, so I am aware of how it is done. I just had to do the same thing to a house where the home owner only had one key that went to the front door knob lock, so I replaced and re-keyed all the locks to the same key. There are locks that will be almost impossible to pick though it's part luck and part skill.

I've rekeyed several of these locks, and I keep wondering if you can get the knob off you can defeat the lock right? Seems sketch, but they are easier to rekey than kwikset.

Nice video. I rekeyed the front door knob very easily following your instructions. When I went to do the deadbolt, however, mine does not have a knob on the inside, and there are no screws to remove. Any idea how to get this deadbolt off the door? Thinking I’m going to have to invest in a locksmith for that one. Any sage words of wisdom?

I ordered the E-2402 kit but when I pulled the lock cylinder out I noticed it doesn't look the same even though all my locks say Schlage on them. It appears the cylinder I have has a "sidebar" on it and where the tumblers come out there's sort a green cover on it. Did I get the wrong kit? Is there a separate kit (and instructions?)

Sorry about the late reply.... We suspect that you may have used the wrong color pins, or in the wrong order. Was this for the knob or the deadbolt?

I have a Schlage Z wave keypad entry deadbolt but I lost the original key that came with it. Could I use this re-keying kit to make a new key for said deadbolt? Thank you! 🙏🏼

Thank you. We try..

Also, can I re-key an electronic schlage lock with this kit?

Which cylinder was it? The knob cylinder, or the deadbolt? We can try and shoot a video for you that explains how to put it all back together. As long as you have all of the springs, and none are damaged, and you have all the pins, you can put it back together. It's a little tricky though.

Follower does not fit my new Schlage FB50 lock set. Ruined all the springs in the plug housing. The clip ring removal tool did not fit either. Any suggestions?

What do I do if I don’t have the key to the lock? I bought to kit but I can’t get the cylinder out without the keys. Thanks

Is it any schlage door knob? How do i know if my door can be rekeyed by this?

Hello! Thank you for these instructions. I found that they worked... mostly. I have the type of knob used in your demonstration. But I found that after removing the knob from the shank, it was almost impossible to get the lock cylinder out of the knob, because the spring-loaded shield was at its maximum height, making is so that the lock cylinder mechanism wouldn't fit through the back side of the knob. And there was no way to reach something in there to squeeze the shield down. I ended up having to kind of "force" the thing out, which resulted in the shield popping off and the springs coming out. At that point, there was no more need for the follower, since everything was apart. Fortunately, once I changed the pins, I was able to put the springs back in and get the shield back in place, to then put it back in to the knob. I was a bit worried, though, that I'd end up having to buy a new doorknob.

I can appreciate your aggravation on these locks. My style of door knobs are a little different, instead of a slot for the tool to remove the knob mine just has a small hole. I can't even get the knob off, let alone get the lock cylinder out to re pin it. The dead bolts are easy though, I didn't get the follower in right and pins went flying. But once I figured out how to put the springs and pins back in re pinning the key was easy. I came here in hopes of a solution for the knobs, but I'm not having luck.

I insert a 1/4" strip of aluminum cut from a soda can between the cylinder and the plug when removing or replacing the plug. This insures that the top pins doesn't get snagged on the clip "ridge" on the plug. Does that help?

Anyone know what type of cylinder that is? I need to find a schlage with E-keyway for my knob lock

I was able to get to the last part of rekeying my schlage keypad deadbolt until I turned the key all the way instead of just to the left and locked my key inside the key cylinder. is there a way to fix this? I managed to force the key out the cylinder but I can't turn the key anymore when I put the key back.

Where do you buy the key?
