Thank you for your inquiry regarding this item from Prime-Line Products. Bring in the keys to the store for duplication.

Hello Our rekey pin are size is .112

The one pictured is the SC1 keyway. If you have the kit for the KW1 keyway, it will work for Defiant.

Thank you for your inquiry regarding this item from Prime-Line Products. The "C" is for the manufactures keyway of the lock. It should work for your lock.

The kit pictured is for the Schlage or SC1 keyway. This one will not work with Kwikset or Defiant locks. They do have a kit for the KW1 keyway which will work Kwikset and Defiant.

A competent locksmith should be able to cut a key from code. Call them up and ask, find one who will do it reasonably, I would guess no more than $50 if you go, much more if they have to go to you with a service call which has a minimum of $100 or more in many areas. While this may seem like a lot for a few minutes work, I always have to remember that they are giving up time in travel that they could be using to do an industrial job that would pay them more and keep their bills paid. Getting an additional key from them while you are at it should be minimal, otherwise take the new key in to Home Depot and have them cut several copies for you, and give one to a trusted neighbor in an envelope or hide under the spare tire in your car. As to this re-keying kit, it works great. If you don't have the existing key but have another Schlage key, and are very skilled (or deftly lucky), you could pick this lock to get it open into a service mode to re-key, and key it to the new donor key. It takes a lot of patience, and you would need to re-key all of the locks that you want to the new key to go to (I've done this). If you are going to have to pay a LS for a key-from-code anyway, you may consider upgrading your lock to a keypad, and if you make it a Schlage electronic keypad, you can then re-key your other existing locks to match the new key (and never lock yourself out again).

If your knob is a Schlage brand, the key should be inserted into the keyhole (the core) and turned 90-degrees clockwise. This moves the tailpiece of the core out of the way, allowing the release button to be pushed in. The key should stay in that 90-degree position, at which time you take the included poke tool to depress the release button at the base of the knob. I’ve not seen a spring loaded core in a lock before. What brand is it?

Technically, it's made to re-key one lock. In practice, depending on the bit pattern of the new key and the available pins in the kits, you can probably get 2 out of it, or 3 on a stretch, if you have enough of each length pin left. There are (6) of each of the 5 pin lengths, which are color-coded to help facilitate. Since each lock cylinder has 5 pin locations, as long as you don't repeat any color more than twice, you can get 3 locks out of it.

Yes but you must use the keys that come with the kit. I wouldn't do it because the kit only comes with 4 pin heights which basically downgrades the lock by making the lock pattern more common.

Yes. It worked out well
