Prime-Line E 2400 Re-Keying Kit – Re-Key a Lock Kit with Pre-Cut Keys for Rekeying all your Locks to One Key, For Kwikset Brand Locks, 5-Pin Style Locks (1 Kit), Brass

This made quick work of rekeying four locks. Easy to use. Slight learning curve, but minor.

This kit made it really easy to re-key doors at a rental. They wouldn't pay for a re-key.

This is a good set of parts but was missing a few I needed. However, I was using it for a slightly different purpose. This kit comes with keys and a guide to rekey a lock to use the included keys.But what I needed was to re-key a lock to match an existing key, The directions were clear and the disassembly tools worked well. However, although the kit includes many sizes of pins, did not include the shortest pin I needed to match the existing key. Fortunately there were 2 short pins in the old lock so I could re-use those and match the lock to my key but would not have been able to do it using just the parts in this kit. The alternative would have been to re-key all 3 of my locks to match the new keys and not sure there are enough parts in this kit to do 3 locks, plus it is a time-consuming process.

Straightforward to re key locks. Watched a you tube video to get a clearer idea of what to do besides reading the instructions. Otherwise good value considering I re keyed 6 locks

This rekeying kit was very easy to use. Has all the parts that I need to do more than the two doors/4 locks that needed it probably do two more at least. Only took about 10 minutes per lock and that was with me dilly-dailying. For the money definitely Beach calling a locksmith. Everything fit good works pretty good maybe a little less smooth than the original ones the colors were clearly distinguishable and I definitely feel good about being able to change the key to my home so definitely a good buy makes me feel safe.

I bought 5 new Kwikset locks and this re-keying kit. The kit was useless since the new Kwikset locks have no pins. They rekey in a totally different way that made the pins in the re-key set useless. I assume they would be useful for rekeying an older Kwikset lock, but it isn't for what Kwikset sells today.

I bought some brinks door knobs and deadbolts - all inexpensive from walmart and each on different keys. I noticed the keys had KW1 marked on them, so I had a hunch the kwikset rekeying sets might work for them to get all our deadbolts and knobs to work on one same key. This E 2400 primeline Kwikset 5-pin set worked perfect on those Brinks as well as some from a kwikset basic multipack lock cylinders. I got 6 each of 5 different color pins that go with the 3 keys in the provided package. The keys are kinda rough and cheaply - I'm going to see if having a copy made will yield any better quality. Anyway this beats the heck out of buying a $150 locksmith set and I still can rekey two more locks to match this same key. Decent value.

I had seven locks on the same key that needed to be changed. Fortunately, I own a re-pinning set that I purchased on Amazon previously when I had done the initial keying to the same key. I planned on using the key (and pins) from this kit to key six locks, then I would use the pins from the re-pinning kit to re-key the seventh lock. I really only needed the key, but $8 for an index cut (original) key didn't seem too bad. My local locksmith charges $6.95 for an index key, but I would have to take time off of work to go visit them.The first problem was apparent when I opened the package: two pins were missing! I could only re-key four locks with the set. The listing did say it was for up to six locks. No problem.... yet.The next problem was that the key itself was not a quality key. The material appears to be brass, but is very low quality material. The cut cuts were not indexed (cut to order to make an original key), but were instead sloppy like a copy of a copy of a copy. The edges were rough (unfinished). It was just a poorly made key.Finally, a minor complaint: the red and purple pins were indistinguishable by color. The dye was pretty much the same. I lined up the pins sorting them by length instead. Not a big problem.I went ahead and re-pinned my four locks without event.When I went to re-key the fifth lock, I discovered a huge problem: the pins in this set are non-standard! The pins do not conform to the Kwikset standard lengths for pins. I pulled out my handy dandy Kwikset gauge from my re-pinning set and confirmed that the key was non-standard as well. This means that I could not use my real Kwikset pins to re-pin the other two locks to match.Ultimately, I ended up buying a Smartkey Set from Home Depot, re-pinning my locks to match that key and getting the job done.Afterwards, I spent some more time examining the key provided in the set and noted that bidding on the key was really bad anyway. Basically, it had four cylinders set to the same height and one different (the middle one). This would make the lock extremely easy to pick or bump. Kwikset locks are already pretty much the worst you can buy for this reason, but this key would have made it even less secure.This kit is a total waste of money. Do not buy it, you will be sorry!
