This saved me a bunch of time. The problem was that the key wasn’t all the way in when I reset it. Placing the key partially in allowed me to reset the key correctly. Thank you for making this video!
Thank you for this tutorial. I struggled for a couple of hours with two keys not working. Watched your video and was inspired to try your suggestion……..IT WORKED!
Omg thank you for posting this. I just rekeyed my lock and messed up. I was panicking and telling my toddler not to touch the lock. Your trick worked and I rekeyed it properly.
I went to the website & they gave the same advice but after watching your video I tried again & it worked I had moved the key when I did the relock thanks so much for making the video 👏🗝
Amazing!! Really does work. One word of advise to others who this doesn’t seem to be working try it with the deadbolt exposed then start jiggling clockwise and counter but also lil bit of pressure up and down or left and right
You got lucky. I've had this happen to multiple locks (I'm a landlord) and I KNOW I did the rekey procedure correctly and your fix (partial insertion and lots of jiggling) didn't work for me. The kwikset locks seem to glitch like this about 25% of the time when you rekey them.
I don't think it's luck. I just did this and it worked. I had to jiggle it a few times just to get it turned 90°. Once it turned I was able to redo the rekey operation and it works perfect
These locks are TRASH. I’ve done this about a dozen times with different locks, and know to be SUPER careful holding the key and going slowly. Still just got locked out 15mins ago with neither key working…. On about the 4th lock out of a dozen. Complete trash. And best part is- Locksmiths say they can’t pick them. They have to be drilled. For $100. DONE with CRAPset locks.
Will this tip work for one key that from time to time requires me to jiggle it to unlock the lock? I have to also slightly turn the door knob while jiggling the key.
I turn the key as directed to the left and insert the kwikset key tool.I do not hear any click. I try to remove the key and it will not come out.I tried it again with another video having you turn the key to the 90 degrees to the right and the same thing. I cannot pull the key out after using the smart key tool. What am I doing wrong??
So this is only for locks with the hole to insert the Smart Lock? My old knobs r so old, this doesnt work. Oh well, going to have to buy a whole new set. But thanks for the info. Unfortunately Home Depot employees dont tell u this.
What happens when BOTH the old AND new keys work for the same lock 😮 😂 .. literally just had this to happen for the first time?! Anyone can help, Kwikset rep couldn’t 🤦🏿♂️
When you started the video with dont panic, my wife immediately started laughing at me. Thanks for saving us a locksmith call!

Thank you so much! I was so annoyed when this rekey didn’t work, then I found your video and had it working in a couple minutes.

I was about to bring this to a locksmith too. Your tip worked! Thanks a bunch!!
Excellent advice!! This helped fixed 2 locks that I hadn't keyed correctly... Didn't push key in all the way.
You were absolutely right. It took some slight forward force and a turn and it worked. Saved me from having to buy a new lock. Thanks!
Hey bro. Thank you for this video. I just did what you did and thought I had to trash the new lock set. 🙏🙏🙏appreciate it.
Amazing!! Really does work. One word of advise to others who this doesn’t seem to be working try it with the deadbolt exposed then start jiggling clockwise and counter but also lil bit of pressure up and down or left and right
Thanks, man! It took a while, but it did finally work, and got me into the room we were locked out of.
Dude!!! Thank you so much! You really saved my ass. I thought I just lost my whole day trying to fix my mistake. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
It is brillant to always talk about the two keys, not only the new one. Thank you very much!
You're the man saved me a big hassle.
Thank you so much. Helps a lot. ( literally thought I had to go back to Home Depot.
SWEET! This worked for me. I had mine all apart like I saw in another UA-cam, that was risky! No need to get it apart.
Thanks MXdaddy!!!
Well I'll be dipped. Your video was just what I needed to fix the issue. Sure enough I rekeyed it without the key fully inserted.
I panicked, and then un-panicked after watching this video. You just saved me, thanks!
Thank you so much 😊 I was sweating 😓 like oh no what happen… This video helped me tremendously I so appreciate you
I just had this exact same issue, followed your directions and it worked! Thanks
This saved my butt! I had to redo a few steps but I got it working. Thank you!

I'm having this issue right now... Been trying to finagling with the key I used for a half hour.
I don't think it's luck. I just did this and it worked. I had to jiggle it a few times just to get it turned 90°. Once it turned I was able to redo the rekey operation and it works perfect
I had the lock in the wrong position when I started (up and down instead of sideways) and I think I’m out of luck to fix it

Thank you for your video. I was able to fix the problem in two minutes!!!
You’re a life saver !!!
Omg. I thought I was going to have to get another set. Thank you!
Perfect solution for me. Thank you 🙏
This saved me! I hadn't thought of this potential, but it's exactly what happened. Thanks!
Thank goodness for this, you're a lifesaver.
I did exactly the same mistake, and was panic for a while until I saw this video, and it saved me. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!!!
You saved me🙏🏼
Exactly what happened great video short and to the point easily fixed after seeing this
Awesome trick, saved my day. Many thanks! Very helpful!
Thank you, perfect solution to the problem I encountered!
Bro, thank you for this. This actually worked.
O M G thank you so much for this!! I had no idea what to do and did what you said to do.....AND IT WORKED!!!! TYSM!!!!

How do you get a key to work if you make duplicates ?
I got lucky, it worked. Thank you 🙏

It worked!!! Thanks!!
Thanks a million got my key to work
when you re-key, the new key has completely different dents?
What do you do when someone opens your door when you are in mid switch of rekeying n now current n new key doesn’t unlock the door?
Any idea what to do if this ISNT working either?
It worked. Thanks for the help
Didn't work. Key doesn't do anything no matter how much I insert it :(
Best video 📹 Thank you!

Same. Did you find a solution?
My current key is now nor turning at all . And I don’t have the key I before that .
What should I do when it’s not turning at all .
thank you so much
Thank you so much. I thought I had to call a lock smith.
Thank you so much for this video! I panicked
THANK YOU!
I turn the key as directed to the left and insert the kwikset key tool.I do not hear any click. I try to remove the key and it will not come out.I tried it again with another video having you turn the key to the 90 degrees to the right and the same thing. I cannot pull the key out after using the smart key tool. What am I doing wrong??
That was informative
I did it wrong now no key turns what do I do?
God bless you
I turned it the wrong way and both keys don’t work? Can I still fix it??
I currently have this problem with the door knob
So this is only for locks with the hole to insert the Smart Lock? My old knobs r so old, this doesnt work. Oh well, going to have to buy a whole new set. But thanks for the info. Unfortunately Home Depot employees dont tell u this.
You saved me a panic attack thank you
When this doesn’t work call support and they will send you a new cylinder. Also check that the new key fits before trying to rekey!
Mine doesn’t work no matter not .
Not so lucky here.
Me either
Kudos!
Life saver
What if the original key doesn’t work?
but what if the old AND new key dont work?
That is very helpful demo !! But, is your video reversed ?
The key is supposed to be turned 90 degrees to the RIGHT (not the left)....
I messed mine up and the original key will not turn at all.
And when it doesn't work?
awesome
And what if that doesn't work. Now i have two keys that don't work
None of my keys worked after I tried to reset the door handle
What happens when BOTH the old AND new keys work for the same lock 😮 😂 .. literally just had this to happen for the first time?! Anyone can help, Kwikset rep couldn’t 🤦🏿♂️
you're supposed to turn the key to the 3 o'clock position not 9 when setting the new key
I think it depends on which direction your doors facing
@@Jarlzdotorg I've been a locksmith for 25 years. Turn to the 3 o clock position unless some bonehead installed lock upsidedown
@3dsmaxrocks699 Otherwise stated as, its universal but you prefer it one way...
LIVESAVER!
Oh jeezas cryst, thank you 😭😭😭
do you have instagram, got some questions about the passat
