SC1 Schlage Compatible Keyway Rekey Kits Rekeying with Keys Set 4 Keys 5 Pins 8 Locks

Rekeyed 5 locks for a great price. I am handy. Have installed and replaced knobs and deadbolts before, but never messed with rekeying a lock before. After a YouTube video found by searching on “rekeying Schlage deadbolt”, It took me 5 minutes each to change 4 deadbolts. Needed a Philips screwdriver and a small pointed tool to hold down the pin to disassemble the plug. The follower tool provided was the perfect size.Rekeying the knob was more of a challenge. The metal tool provided was too thick to remove the c-clip on the plug. I needed my daughter to lend a hand. I held one side of the clip and the plug and she used a screwdriver to pop off the clip. It does POP, so be sure it does not pop and get lost. The following tool provided does not fit on the end of the knob plug so I had to cut a notch in it with a file to use it to push out the plug on the knob. The plastic was soft and easy to cut the notch into, so it was not too bad. The tools did not match exactly for rekeying the knob but I still think It was worth five stars because it was so inexpensive and easy to use.

This rekeying kit for Schlage type locks works great! I got 4 bags of pins with the kit I received. You will receive as little as 3 bags of pins and as many as 5 bags depending on the key code you receive. You get 4 identical chrome coated keys stamped with the same key code. The plastic tool is made absolutely perfect. It fits snug but it's not too tight. The metal tool is too thick but 30 seconds with a file fixes that right up. I used this kit to rekey standard door knob and deadbolt locks as well as a Euro style lock on a storm door. The pins worked perfectly in every lock. I highly recommend, this kit is easy to use and the quality is great!!

This is overall a very good kit. Despite the photos showing only three bags of pins, it comes with five bags of eight pins. This will enable you to key a total of eight 5-pin Schlage cylinders to the included keys (four keys are included). If you have 6-pin Schlage cylinders, using this kit is possible, but doing so will require you to drop the #6 top pin and spring.This kit doesn't come with tools you may need to rekey specific Schlage locks, such as lever-type sets, or deadbolts. For lever-type sets, the Schlage pin gauge has an integrated pin that is used to release the lever to enable disassembly. I used a small Allen wrench to the same effect. For deadbolts, a Schlage cylinder cap removal tool makes things tons easier (also not included), but I was able to use a small offset pick to hold the spring-loaded retainer pin down and manually spin the cap off. Putting the cap back on is slightly easier since the knob shaft flange can be used to hold the pin down until the cap is fully screwed back on, then rotated to release the pin.Also conspicuously missing, tool-wise, is a C-clip removal tool. The included tool that looks like it may be able to be used as such is too narrow to push the clip off of the lock assembly. I used various tools from my tool kit to accomplish this.Instructions are sparse, but the included sheet links to Schlage's rekeying instruction set, as well as to a general "intro to locksmithing" YouTube video. The Schlage manual is particularly helpful.It is not immediately obvious that the hand-written 5-digit number on the label on the bag is the key code, but the included keys have the code stamped on them, which makes it very easy to identify which pins go in which cylinders.As other reviewers have observed, the included follower tool is very tight, but it worked as intended for me. The included keys seem particularly sturdy and to be of high quality.For the money, this kit is a great buy. Just be aware that this is by no means a complete kit, and that you'll need additional tools to rekey locks.

Anybody with some simple mechanical skills can rekey up to 4 Schlage sets (EIGHT locks) using this kit. MUCH less expensive than hiring a locksmith. Not the best instructions and not the best quality tools, but useable.

The keys and pins were excellent! The clip tool did not fit, it was too thick to fit in the groove. The following tool notch does not fit Schlage Locks. The opposite end of following tool did work very well on the Schlage Deadbolts. Struggled a bit to complete 7 locks because of inferior following tool. Would of been a lot quicker and easier with properly made tool.Still a good price to rekey locks!

This is a good budget kit you can use to rekey your standard Schlage locks. Do a little research first to make sure your lock is compatible with this kit, and watch some videos on how to rekey locks. The video link provided with the kit was a very old low quality video, so I'd recommend the vendor shoot another video or link to a new one. I used this kit to rekey 6 lock cylinders at my house. I bought house and almost every door was a different key. All the locks that were Schlage I used this kit to rekey. Then for the 3 remaining locks I ordered new locks which were set with the same code. Now all the locks at my house use the same key.

Rekeyed 5 locks for a great price, which has been better/cheaper than any other alternatives I had found

The plug follower included in the tool set accommodates key plugs having a circular end only; elliptically shaped key plug ends as are found with the new lever-type handset will require a different plug follower.
