Answer This Question
A: This model can only be keyed to one key and cannot be programmed to a master key. You would need to purchase a Key Control deadbolt to use both keys.

Q:If this is so easy to re-key your keys, what is to prevent a thief from doing the same with a similar key from the same brand deadbolt and gaining entry? I don't understand why re-keying should be so easy, given what thieves can do.

Answer This Question
A: SmartKey Security is an added feature that allows only someone with the current working key to re-key the lock cylinder to a different key. Inserting the SmartKey learn tool and using a random key will not re-key the lock nor unlock the door. In addition, SmartKey technology protects against advanced break-in techniques, like picking and bumping.
