How to rekey a Schlage lock with their retail rekey kit

Let's rekey a Schlage lock using this awesome rekey kit. I've never rekeyed a lock before. I'm a huge fan of @lockpickinglawyer , so I understand the mechanics of locks. I found this to be surprisingly easy and super fun.

• I didn’t use these in the video, but I have since bought them. Much better than generic tweezers. The cup shape at the tip is really nice.

Thanks Great Video

Hello, awesome video! Thank you!
Where do you get the keys to match the pins with?

[@MostlyBuilds]

Thanks! For the keys there are a few options.
- You can go to a locksmith and ask them to cut some keys for you.
- If you buy a new Schlage lock, it will come with 2 keys typically. You can rekey your other locks to match those + have copies of the keys made.
- You can buy small rekey kits that come with pins and keys Example: a.co/d/3b8Qrf5

Amazing! Thank you so much for this great tutorial video and your reply to my answer 🙏

Thanks! If you just want to buy a new key that you can repin all of the locks to, where can you find such a key? I saw this kit but would prefer to just buy new keys since a friend of mine has your kit that I can borrow

[@MostlyBuilds]

You should be able to find a locksmith in your area that can cut a custom key for you. I’ve seen mentions of online services that let you provide a code and they will cut a key as well. Not sure I’d want to be sending my key code to someone online.

[@MostlyBuilds]

You could also buy a new lock. They all come with keys. I think you could probably get a “better” key code that is less cookie cutter from a locksmith though.

Thanks any idea how to reuse pins?

[@MostlyBuilds]

You could totally save old pins and reuse them later. It’s pretty easy to match them up with pins in the rekey kit. Unless if they are brand new pins, I would probably just throw them away. Not worth the risk of having worn pins in your kit in my opinion.

What editor are you using CapCut?

[@MostlyBuilds]

Believe it or not, I use iMovie. I wouldn’t recommend it other than it’s free. I plan to switch to something better like adobe premier if my channel gets bigger

[@doorandlocktips]

Nice job little buddy but why are your hands in black? Just thought I’d ask maybe its not any of my business but do you think that’s cool just asking I make Locksmith videos and wondered what your thoughts were on that

[@MostlyBuilds]

Hey big buddy. I’m just used to working in gloves. Originally started off with real messy jobs that involved oil and grease. Then I got used to the additional grip that it gives your fingers in some situations. For electronics work I wear them to avoid getting oils from my hands on the connections.
Generally though it’s just a habit for me now. It’s nice to be able to keep my hands clean and just rip the gloves off and go eat a burger.
I get made fun of a bit for it, but whatever. At least people are entertained and I’m happy!
