About Weiser and Quickset End User Rekeyable Smart Locks
Weiser & Kwikset Smart Key Locks are end-user rekeyable locks. You need the tool that came with the lockset. You must follow manufacturer instructions explicitly to rekey this type of lock. You also need a new key.
"Smart Key", a smart idea we're sure but this design is not without faults. The ability to rekey your own locks, without the services of a professional sounds appealing, and it would be if the lockset were more reliable.
If you are considering installing a "Smart Key" lock on your door you should reconsider. In the past month we have responded to no less than 6 calls where the homeowner has been locked out by a Kwikset or Weiser "Smart Key" deadbolt. We have found recently, that in every instance, the lock has somehow mysteriously rekeyed itself leaving the home owner locked out of their own premises. Since "Smart Key" locks cannot be picked, the only option is to destroy the lock by drilling it off the door to gain entry.
A great cost effective idea for the Landlord had it worked as advertised but this product should have had more Research & Development before being brought to market.
How can I tell if the Weiser or Kwikset lock I have uses a "Smart Key"?
The outer face of the lock should have the name Weiser or Kwikset imprinted on it and to the left of the keyhole there should be a small rectangular slot which accepts the rekeying tool that came with the lock. If this rectangular slot exists then it is a "Smart Key" type lock.
What is a Lock Rekey?
A Lock Rekey is the process that a Professional Locksmith goes through in order to change the key that currently operates your lock. How long does it take Locksmith Richmond Hill to Rekey a Lock?
A Lock rekey takes approximately 15 minutes. That is the time required to remove the lock from your door, disassemble the lock cylinder to change the pins that currently operate it, cut the keys, reassemble the lock and replace it on your door.
In some instances extra time may be required if there is associated door hardware that needs to be removed in order to access the Lock Cylinder like a Panic Bar.
