Prime-Line E 2402 Re-Keying Kit – Re-Key a Lock Kit with Pre-Cut Keys for Rekeying all your Locks to One Key, For Schlage Brand Locks, Type “C” 5-Pin Style Locks (1 Kit)

I ordered this with a Schlage keyless door entry lock and matching deadbolt so I could rekey them both to work on the same key. I had considered just taking them to a locksmith, but that would have taken time and money, until I found this kit. Bottom line: this kit worked perfectly as described, as long as you follow the instructions! I found a very useful video on YouTube by Prime-Line that walks you through step-by-step on how to rekey Schlage locks. The first lock I rekeyed, I was able to dis-assemble it and remove the lock cylinder very easily, however, I missed the step (my mistake for hurrying) where you use the plug follower when removing the plug from the shell and the bottom pins all fell out. Once I got them reassembled and followed the instructions it went very smooth. The video really helps, and the Prime-Line kit saved me a ton of time and money. The second lock I rekeyed went perfectly and took less than 5 minutes. I have big hands/fingers, but this was very easy to do. The Prime-Line kit worked exactly as described and if you purchase this kit, watch the video! Th printed instructions work fine, but I generally learn by watching somone do it, then doing it myself. All in all, a great product at a very reasonable price.

I bought 4 kits and have rekeyed 6 doors so far. The first rekey took the longest. After that the others were done in minutes. My first one I had slipped and the springs/etc came out. After the easter egg hunt to find them all, I was delighted to see the instructions covered how to recover from that. They were right on the money. I have 6 of each color cylinder in each set, though I did get 2 extra cylinders in one of the kits. A nit pick, the tweezers being plastic make it really tough to grab a perfectly round cylinder, which is what I had to do to recover from my sprung apart lock. Technically the kit isn't meant for that per say, so i don't fault them. I did find in my other locks if one of them had sprung apart, they had a small shoulder in the cylinder that the tweezers would've worked just fine on, so it entirely depends on what scenario you bump into. Every item in there is of decent quality considering the price and purpose. I don't know that the kits would last you a lifetime, but at a couple bucks per rekey, I'd say you'd be hard pressed to lose out on this deal. The only other gripe for me is the gold and silver are semi close, especially in lower light. The red and purple aren't too bad, but I'd have preferred if the purple were a brighter or darker purple. The colors were: purple, red, green, gold and silver. Making silver into blue would be my million dollar idea. The only other suggestion I'd have is to put the colors into each of their own baggies instead of everything in one bag. Would make QA checks easier and easier regardless of what the colors are as now each bag has color X in it. Heck, number the bags and shows the numbers in the instructions and who cares what color you think they are.

There is no question that this product works as advertised. I was able to replace the pins on both a lever lock and a deadbolt, and both work flawlessly, and very smoothly. However, it took me about two hours to get there. There are two main problems with this product: The documentation isn't all that great, and one of the included tools isn't useful when you get yourself into trouble. I probably should've read the entire instructions before starting, but I was confident in my knowledge of locks to proceed from step 1. Big problem. I overlooked the warning about removing the lock cylinder, and of course the springs and pins shot out everywhere. Aside from not clearly labeling all the parts in the lock body (there was only an exploded diagram), the spring warning came after the step where the lock cylinder is removed. That should've been highlighted in flashing lights. The reason it's a big deal about not letting the springs come out is that they're small, and so are the pins that rest on top of them. It'd be very easy to lose any of the components, possibly compromising the lock. Further, this brings me to my second complaint: the plastic tweezers. They're entirely incapable of pinching the springs and pins firmly, because when you squeeze them, they flex at the tip and lose their hold. I needed a separate set of metal tweezers from the medicine cabinet to reinsert the pins and springs. Once I got everything back together on the first lock, I reinstalled it in the door and found it to work just as I'd hoped. Again, very smoothly. Actually, it turns better than the stock pins that were in before. Feeling confident, I proceeded to the second lock, and of course, the springs and pins went flying again. Even when I knew what to expect and how to keep the springs in place, I still shot them everywhere. No matter, I got everything back in place once again, and reinstalled on the door to find a perfectly functional lock... two hours later. So, to summarize: The springs WILL come out. Once you cuss and find them all and get them back in place, it may happen again, but you'll get everything back together and move on. Then it WILL happen again. There's just no way to keep it from happening without practice and experience. All in all, a fun adventure since I had some time to kill, and an excellent end result, even with some speed bumps on the way. Oh, and much cheaper than a locksmith. I'd buy this product again, for sure, but I'd know to plan a little longer to install. EDIT: I bought another new Schlage entry lock and deadbolt kit, and re-keyed them both to match the first lock set that I did (mentioned above). The second go-around was much easier knowing what to expect, and I didn't have any of the springs pop out. I still highly recommend this kit!

This is a True Schlage rekey kit. There are enough pins to re-key 6 locks the tools it comes with are cheap but can do the job. It did not come in the shown package, that's no big deal. The instructions are clear and precise. You may have read the other reviews and are now unsure about purchasing, let me assure you that you can't open a lock with a matchstick, with this kit or any other kit, my hypothesis on that comment is that he removed the Springs and the bible pins or his bible pins and springs are damaged that would let anything open the lock. This kit only replaces the key pins there are no bible pins or springs because to change a key all you need to do is replace the key pins. If your re-keying a lock without a key you will need to pick the lock in order to gut it. This is a remarkable deal and if you can follow the instructions then you can re-key your locks. I'm not aa professional locksmith but I have recently started lockpicking as a hobby and I bought 200.00 in Schlage Training locks I wanted the c-clip removal tool and I want to re-key my door at some point. I have to remove the lock from a doorknob for that I needed the tools and the instructions in this kit. I have learned enough about locks to tell you with confidence that this kit is genuine and that it's truly worth the money. Feel free to ask me questions and I will answer them. Photo 1 is some of the pins with a shot of my cutaway and the core the 2nd picture you can now see the colour pins in the core and you can see the cutaway bible that contains the pins and springs, the 3rd picture shows you 2 Mortise locks, 1 is pinned with its original key the other is pinned with this kit you and you can tell which is which the colour pins are in the lock with 3 keys and it is open the brass part shows where the pins line up so when the key aligns with it and then you can remove the key, in any other positions it's opening it. I didn't have to modify anything to make this work The two mortise locks cost around 15$ here on Amazon. There is a paper in the package that tells you which colour pin goes where. These are SC1 Schlage keys

I wasn’t very happy with the Prime-Line Products E 2402 Schlage Type C Re-Keying Kit. The product photos made the pins look correct, but in reality the colored pins were slightly off in size. Even a small difference like 0.001” makes a huge impact and in my case, it did. I installed the pins into my SCHLAGE B60N619 Single Cylinder Deadbolt, and the key started getting stuck when rotating, especially toward the right side. The cylinder would bind at a certain point, making the lock unusable. I finally took it to a locksmith, who pointed out that all five pins should be replaced because they weren’t matching true Schlage standards.

So it comes with pins and pre-cut keys. You get instructions to rekey upto 6 locks to match the keys provided in this package. This does not allow you to buy a new lock and rekey it to fit your other existing keys/locks. I was replacing all exterior doors on a property after rental tenant vacancy. So this kit provided me with 3 keys and all the pins to match the included keys. It took about 2 hours to do 4 locks. Watch a video on it so you don't drop the cylinder springs as I did. The tweezers are useless and it was a pain to get the springs/pins back in the housing. 4 stars for working, lost 1 star for junk tweezers and poor instruction manual layout.

This is a great product. Everything you need to re-key a Schlage lock. I have re-keyed several now using this set, and once you get used to it, it is really easy. Takes me about 5 minutes per lock now. The parts provided are, I'm sure, pretty well what a professional has. I'm reasonably handy and this kit is just the thing. If you have never seen this kind of thing before, you might get frustrated. Read and understand the directions - being imprecise leads to frustration. However, the cost of a new lock is not that much compared to a locksmith, so even if/when you get it wrong you're likely not out that much. And even when you get it wrong and all the tumblers that should not come out do, it is not impossible to repair following the instructions provided. Use this kit in a well lit area, with your glasses already on, sitting in a stable position so that you can rest both arms against and above a work surface, and in an area where tiny, little bits flying in all directions will be easily retrieved. This kit does not provide you with the extra parts you would need if you lose any, such as springs and pins. I've purchase two of these sets now, and the tumblers from the second set were the same as the first, so the second set could be used to re-key more locks to the same key as the first set. Would not be surprised if this is intentional. I will be buying more because re-keying a house can now be a regular affair - just like changing a password.
