- In this video, I show you how to rekey a Weiser lock! If your Weiser lock has SmartKey technology, you can use this tutorial to program it to work with a different key. I like using this method because you can have all of the locks in a house working with a single key! It makes locking and unlocking the various doors in your house much more convenient! Rekeying a Weiser lock is easy, and only takes a few minutes!

Hahaha, he sounds like "Sauhl GoodMan", lol
You are so right. I think he is in Walter’s house changing the keys.

You, Sir, are a king among key men
Your video was very helpful. Thank you so much for posting this 😄
Thank you Jimmy McGill
You of course realize we could not see the orientation of the rekeying tool in its slot. Also, will this work on a lock not yet installed in the door?
You are great man🙂🙂
Excellent, thanks very much
That's a helpful video guide. I guess you could use your old keys back if you want by rekeying again from the current new keys. Do I understand right?
wow - that was easy!
I just switched my existing powerbolt and the keyed knob to a Powerbolt2.0 electronic lock, and a keyed lever within minutes after reading the instructions, programmed it to our needs, and WITHIN THE BLINK OF AN EYE the locks were also re-keyed, no need to get new keys cut! I LOVE Weiser locks, everything is so easy....though, I strongly recommend to read the instructions, or watch the WEISER instructional videos BEFORE you start the whole process, including installing and programming. It's a breeze then. The old locks were then re-keyed to the 'new' keys that came with the Powerbolt2.0, and the whole old set with 2 brand new keys is ready to sell.
Interesting. I just tried my old keys in the new locks and they did not fit. And yes of course they were both Weiser. Perhaps 45 years is too long to expect compatibility.
Thks for this bud
Thanks.
Thank you for the demotration
What if you don’t have your old key? I thought that was the point of this smart key. Any suggestions ?😊
not completed, you did not say that after rekeying, the old key still works or not?
It should be obvious that after rekeying, the old key would not work
Can I make multiple duplicates for myself Using the current key ?
Now I have two different keys that don't work. How do I fix that
I have 3 additional smart keys that I want to give to my family. Will each rekeying make the previous no good??
If the keys are each cut differently, then only the last one you've programmed it to will work.
At precisely what point is the SmartKey tool removed?
He does it different than the directions: on directions it’s current key 90 degrees to clockwise. Use tool in little hole, pull key out, put new kw1 in, turn counter clockwise 180 degrees then 90 degrees clockwise. Pull out key, done……. If you brick it, making no keys work, any half asses lock smith should be able to reset it for you. Even Home Depot can.
Can you rekey a weiser lock with a key from a different company?
It takes the Weiser WR3 key.
You can't use any key you want, it has to be a Weiser key.
So how many keys can it be re keyed at once or is it one time only
Unlimited. But you would just re-keyonce & then get copies of that new key made for multiple users.
But later if you needed to "change the lock" then it can be rekeyed again as many times as needed
Thanks!
Btw has anyone ever told you, you sound like Badger from Breaking Bad?
Maybe this is a stupid question, but what if you don't have a new key? Do you go to a key cutter and ask them to cut a random sequenced key as your new key?
not stupid at all, I was wondering the same... I have only 1 old key, that I do NOT want to use... and the original weiser key (that I want to replace).
New set of keys comes with the tool
Not a stupid question. You can buy a SmartKey re-keying kit, which contains new keys, from most hardware stores.
This is the obvious question: where do you get the new key from.
can a locksmith re-key a non-smartKeyWeiser lock _without_ a key? My mother lost her key and has just been using the keypad to gain entry. This particular Weiser lock is about 20yrs old. Or would the locksmith just replace the lock...
It would be possible to do so, for a non smartkey lock, to rekey it, the lock would have to be disassembled regardless of if you had the key
And i think it would actually be easier and quicker to disassemble it without using the key (upon request i will explain why, but be warned, unless you are familiar with the insides of locks then it will sound alien to you)
Although I suppose it would depend on the locksmith as to if they would replace it, or rekey it
Only give a 1/4 turn
Where do I buy that tool?
It comes with the lock. If your lock does not have the little hole for the keying tool the process will not work. If you somehow lost the tool, you may have to buy the rekey kit. It has the tool and 6 keys. This is perfect for landlords so they can rekey for cheap instead of buying new locks or hiring a locksmith.
I guess this is not recommended for a rental appartment? If the renter decide to change the key so the owner cannot access anymore..
thats when u change it from a weiser lock to something else lol
So what dodo if you screw up and now bolt keys don’t work?
If that happens chances are the cylinder became misprogrammed, there is a video somewhere on UA-cam showing how to recover a misprogrammed cylinder

What kind of garbage system is this? Mine totally stopped turning. Doing this did nothing. Snapped the key trying to do this. One year, maybe 30 uses and the lock is totally useless. Next time avoid chinese import locks and buy a proper brand that doesn't "forget" how to work.
Thankfully these self rekeying locks don’t exist where i live (although there again most doors where i live aren’t compatible with deadbolts)
It's not Chinese. It's a US based company situated in California
Your video was very irritating because your hand is abruptly flying all over the place. I found it unsettling to watch so I found a different video. If you were to slow those hand down and not be sp spastic with them itd probable be a good video
Maybe you should just watch another video and don’t leave a stupid comment
if you don’t like it don’t watch it

My comment was meant for an adult, of which I thought you were. It was constructive criticism put respectfully. Your response however was not respectful. Its the unreachable ones who have such a hard time getting along. Don't worry, I did find another video.
And it took you this long to see my comment. You're just like a lot of other creators who don't give a crap about its viewers. The best of luck to you sir.
@@BobBlair99 First off I can tell you think that I’m the one who posted this video.
I am not, I’m just commenting on what you wrote. I commented two months later because that’s when I seen your reply
Didn’t your mother ever tell you if you have nothing nice to say don’t say anything at all.
Cheers

I'll give you that
I think it was just you who find it distracting 😆
3 min is unnecessary
