How do I reset five locksets to one key?

First you need a set of pins and some locksmith tools. There are some decent videos on Youtube that can teach you how to change the pins in the cylinder so that they all fit to one key. Though this is NOT a kwikset lock it does use the Kwikset pins and lock design.

I am not aware if that is possible. It only takes the push of one button and a twist of a knob. I love that you don't need keys, no more getting locked out.

The number of locks that can be re-keyed is five if you replace the top pins. Most residential Kwikset lock sets are a five pin cylinder. But if you reuse the old top pins the total number of locks that you can re-key is 50. That's using five new pins in each cylinder.

The physical key that comes with each set is unique but a locksmith can change them to be all the same. You can also program all the sets to have same entry code/s.

I've just spent two days with Kwikset "tech support" and they are clueless on how to reverse the lock operation for yours and my situation. I'm positive it can be done but they couldn't tell me how. Ended up buying the Schlage lockset Schlage FE595 CAM 619 ACC Camelot Keypad Entry with Flex-Lock and Accent Levers, Satin Nickel Best decision ever!

Each package of 4 are keyed differently from other packages. You might want to try and contact Master Lock directly.

I only purchased one kit. If you have any old keys that will fit Kwikset brand, you can rekey to any key. I have about 20 old keys here and can rekey to any of them. Good luck.

Has to be Schlage Type C : this lock has 5 Pins- your old keys may have a C on them - if so this should work

Not necessarily. You will get a random set of pins and keys that match. If you happen to be lucky, you might get the pins that match they key you have (unlikely). There are much more expensive sets (~$100+) that will allow you to rekey a lock to any particular key.

Yes, indeed! 1) You pull the reset lever, 2) Enter your code, 3) Pull the latch, 4) Open the door, 5) Retrieve or store your keys or whatnot, and then 6) Re-enter your code. An interesting factoid is that you can avoid re-entering your code by taking care NOT to release the latch. But it's just simpler to let the door hang from its rubber hinge, and re-enter the code when you're done.

There are simple instructions - once the lock portion is removed, there are some rings that can be rotated to set the new combination. It does not come with a key. If you forget the key, grab a sledgehammer.

They are always different, or I could buy one for the key and open all doors with that lock.You would have to contact the company for getting all the same or talk to a locksmith beforehand because some are not rekeyable.

I only purchased one, but I would guess that all of them are keyed alike and there is only 1 key to fit all. most of the keys for these grade locks are interchangeable.

If you already tried opening it with the default combo 000-000, and it still refuses to open, then you'll have to try to remember any possible # of combo(s) you may have set it to. Can you think of a familiar number you may have used to set the lock(s) and start from there by trying every combo possible with that familiar number?

I'll echo what the other posters have said, and suggest you pick up a second kit from PrimeLine for the seventh lock. You'll then have the parts to re-key another five locks to either set's keys, in the future. One caveat about taking locks to Lowes or Home Depot for re-keying. The policy of both stores is that they ONLY re-key locks that you have purchased from them. This is because they want to be able to replace the lock if one of their employees messes it up while trying to re-key.

It comes with a seperate key if you want to lock it, you have to do manually
